Thrilled to announce that I have successfully defended my #dclinpsy thesis in my viva exam, and passed with minor revisions!! 🥳 one big step closer to Dr Lloyd 🥰

Officially 6 months left to go of the #dclin … 5 out of 6 placements done ☑️

@AnnieStevenson4 So proud of you!!! ⭐

What a day!!! Presenting at my first ever conference #ERICCon24 @ERIC_UK

Check out my new research-related instagram page @breakingthepootaboo for all things gastro 💩👏🏼

I visited my final year placement (in gastro 😏) this morning & I’m SO excited to get started there next week! #finalyear #dclinpsy

Not exactly how I planned to start third year 😭🤕

I blinked and suddenly I’m a Final Year Trainee Clinical Psychologist?! 🤯

And just like that, my older adults placement & my 2nd year of the doctorate is over 🥹 feeling emotional, but excited for what’s yet to come! #dclin #thirdyear

Just been informed that I will be presenting my #dclin research at my first ever conference in October!! Super exciting 🥳⭐️

A lil break away from the dclin & the most exciting thing happened 🥹💍

SO happy to have it confirmed that I’ll be heading back to paediatrics for my specialist placement - in the gastro team!!! 12 months of excitement ahead 🤩 #dclin

Settling into my older adults placement SO well - I absolutely love this team and I’m excited for the opportunities over the next 6 months ☺️ #dclinpsy

Officially half way through the #dclinpsy 😳 can’t believe how quickly it’s going!

Feeling SO grateful that I’m enjoying my #DClinPsy research as much as I am - it was the part I was most apprehensive about & now I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite parts of the whole process!

This week on placement has been super positive and has made me feel like I’m actually good at what I do 🥺

I have officially received ethics approval for my second empirical project! Excited to get started with it 🥳

It’s my birthday 🥳 🎈🎂 #26

Visited my new placement today & I am SO excited to get started there - paediatrics here I come! 🥳
