Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020 and London maternity units were among the first in the United Kingdom to report maternal infection and vertical transmission. To manage resources, over half of all Obstetrics and Gynaecology trainees were redeployed to support front-line specialities such as Core Medicine and Accident and Emergency. The vignettes in this article illustrate how three trainees maximised their limited training opportunities in the face of exceptional disruption, lack of surgical training opportunities and workload pressures.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology represents an established forum for the entire field of obstetrics and gynaecology, publishing a broad range of original, peer-reviewed papers, from scientific and clinical research to reviews relevant to practice. It also includes occasional supplements on clinical symposia. The journal is read widely by trainees in our specialty and we acknowledge a major role in education in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Past and present editors have recognized the difficulties that junior doctors encounter in achieving their first publications and spend time advising authors during their initial attempts at submission. The journal continues to attract a world-wide readership thanks to the emphasis on practical applicability and its excellent record of drawing on an international base of authors.
