The Coffee on Call podcast series, developed by the University of Leeds, is designed to guide final-year medical students through the critical transition from student to doctor. The series tackles the real-life challenges you don’t always hear about in textbooks and gives you the tools to feel more prepared and confident as you step into your medical career.
In this episode, foundation doctors unpack what professionalism really means in the medical field. Through honest discussion and real-life insights, they highlight why integrity, respect, and appropriate behaviour are essential to good clinical practice and how these values shape the day-to-day realities of working in healthcare.
