If FIRE training triggers thoughts of mandatory FIRE safety training, you’ll be relieved to hear I’m NOT about to patronise you on whether to use the powder or water extinguisher on a live electrical fire.

This is the FIRE training that can help doctors have the freedom to work when and how they want without worrying about money. https://www.medicsmoney.co.uk/fire-doctors-financial-independence/ Want top stay up to date with the latest financial information for doctors?

What did we do when we couldn't get PPE to keep safe on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic? We commandeered the Rolls Royce factory and made our own PPE obviously. No really, we did. This is the story of how we did it. The introduction is also SUPER special. Although this episode is nothing to do with making better financial decisions, it's everything to do with documenting and acknowledging the amazing work so many have done to help us keep us, our patients and our families safe during the pandemic. THANK YOU so much to all those involved.
