Irish, Bill. (2007). Recently I moved back to Wales after spending nearly eight years away. I have been working mainly in accident and emergency (A&E), and have completed the first part of my FACEM(Aus). I am unlikely now to return to Australia, however, as I have two young children; the youngest is six months. I am struggling with which path to take because getting an SpR in A&E would mean doing most of the training again, as well as more exams. I have been interested in general practice for some time and am thinking of applying for the VTS in early 2007. I still have some time to complete before being able to do my GP registrar year, such as paediatrics, psychiatry, etc. My biggest concern is having to leave the kids to do an SHO job, with all the out of hours and long days, when it is nearly eight years since I was an SHO. Apart from getting a staff grade job in A&E, which I think I would find frustrating seeing that I was midway through my training in Australia, do you have any advice for me?.

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
