We’re kicking off our new mini-series exploring Out of Programme (OOP) opportunities. In this first episode we speak with Lucy Gorard, a gastroenterology registrar based in the KSS region, who has taken a year out of programme to undertake a nutrition fellowship. Lucy shares valuable insights into her experience — including motivations for applying, skills she’s developed and challenges she’s encountered along the way. Whether you're considering an OOP experience yourself or simply curious to learn more, this is an episode not to be missed.
