My Experience as a Chief Registrar
Dr Alexander McFarquhar is an Acute Medicine Registrar working in the East of England and talks us through his experiences as a Chief Registrar with the Royal College of Physicians. Hi everyone, my name is Alex and I am an acute medicine trainee in East of England. I am ST7 and in my final year…
What Kind of Day Has It Been?
This will be my final blog post for the takeAIM website, as my year as a fellow is coming to an end. It’s been an absolute privilege to work alongside the brilliant team we’ve had this year. I’m sure they’d all agree with me when I say we’ve been really well supported by the Society…
An Offer You Can’t Refuse
There are lots of reasons to love Spring in a hospital. Winter pressures have (marginally) improved and it’s usually light out when you leave work. You’ve probably even been working in the same place long enough to figure out how the car park works. It’s also the season for offers via Oriel and I’m sure…

Almost FAMUS
If you’re struggling to get your cases organised, you can download our special modified takeAIM version of the logbook below: Today’s blog is all about how to get signed off for FAMUS. This is mostly aimed at AIM ST4s who are starting off with their accreditation process and feel a bit lost, but it may…
SAMBrighton (10th and 11th October)
It was great to be back at SAM, and for the first time as part of the TakeAIM team. I’d met everyone so often on a WhatsApp call that it was a surprise to me it was the first time I’d met Husam in person on Thursday morning! The variety of talks was fantastic –…
