Lagos to London: GP trainee in 3 years with two children

Month 1-8: PLAB while pregnant with my second child\nMonth 9-12: Relocated, husband stayed in Lagos for 6 months\nYear 2: Clinical Fellow in A&E\nYear 3: Applied to GP training, ranked 4th in deanery, started ST1

Childcare was the hardest part. NHS night shifts with two under-5s and no family nearby nearly broke us. We hired a live-in nanny which took half my salary for the first 8 months.

Apply for GP training the very first window you are eligible. Competition rises every year. Use the MSRA practice banks daily for 3 months.
