When Exams Take Over Your Life: Navigating the NHS system, Exam Anxiety & Mental Health
I was invited to join Dr. Rupali Sachdev on the Rosé with Rups podcast for an honest conversation about exam anxiety, burnout, and what it's really like preparing for high-stakes postgraduate exams while working in medicine.
We talked about the pressures faced by trainee doctors in the NHS, why exam pressure can feel so overwhelming, how fear of failure and comparison affect confidence, and why asking for help matters, especially in a profession that considers private sacrifice and struggle as normal.
If you're a doctor preparing for postgraduate exams, or simply feel the weight of constantly having to perform, this conversation is for you.
