  At university there’s loads of societies you can get involved in from Quidditch Society to Hide and Seek Society. I’ve also enjoyed playing table tennis and played for the University team. Although it doesn’t always happen I try and go to the gym in my spare time too.
  
  I also enjoy socialising with friends, watching movies and of course eating out!

  I love being creative- I make websites & videos for our practice and local training scheme (VTS) and do cartoon-style drawings- one book published (The Inner Physician) and another on the way. Away from anything medical it’s all about family- I’m looking forward to activities at Centerparcs at the end of this month. (The Sherwood one of course- best part of the country!)
  Centerparcs don’t pay me to say that- other outdoor family parks are also available.

  I’m an amateur triathlete and a triathlon club coach! I think it’s important to balance work with something totally different, and keeping active with regular exercise is really important for health, especially when GP can be quite a sedentary job. I really enjoy exercising outdoors, particularly riding my bike and open water swimming. I enjoy coaching at the club and seeing other athletes develop. The social side of being part of a team is great!

  There is so much extra stuff to get involved with at uni and you will have have plenty of time to enjoy yourselves and have fun! I enjoyed playing with the medics netball club and also tried random things like ballroom dancing.
  
  These days I still enjoy going to the gym, seeing friends/family and baking!!

  I think the thing I love the most in the world is music, whether it’s singing, playing or listening to it. I was heavily involved in a lot of musical things when I was at school and less so at uni and it’s something I’m trying to get more involved with again now. I also enjoy reading, exercising and spending time with my friends and family – ideally outside walking when it isn’t snowing or -10 outside!!
  
  Whatever it is you love, I cannot encourage you enough to continue with it during your training and working life. It’s so important to have a well rounded life and have things to keep you socialising and happy outside of work!

  With my current studies and being a prolific bookworm I do make sure that I enjoy a daily walk, seeing my fitness instructor and enjoying time with friends
