About Dr Millie Wood

I chose to take 5 years post graduation prior to applying for specialty training to gain as much EM experience as possible. From FY2 I knew Emergency Medicine was for me. I completed an 8 month rotation in it due to Covid-19, then continued to locus in the same trust whilst lock down continued. As was always the plan, I then relocated to Perth, Western Australia where I spent a year working as an ED SHO before stepping up as a Junior Registrar. With a very keen interest in Pre-hospital medicine I was fortunate enough to obtain a senior clinical PHEM fellow role at the Royal Cornwall Hospital for 12months and it was during this post I did my ACCS application. The 3.5years of working purely in EM, in both secondary and tertiary hospitals, not only showed me how excited I was by this specialty but allowed me to realise I had the insight and resilience required to enter what I knew by then was not an “easy” career.With all of this under my belt I was fortunate to do well in my ranking and get my first choice job where I am now 4months into ACCS EM training and loving it.
