Career focus

	I'd like to apply for partnerships when I qualify this year, but am worried because I have had depression a couple of times, most recently after a relationship ended. I've only ever had a couple of weeks off. My trainer tells me not to worry, but I'm concerned that I will be looked on less favourably at interviews. Do I need to tell prospective partners about this?

	I worked in anaesthetics for 12 months and finished in May 2005. Unfortunately I was referred to "Doctors with Difficulties"; the deanery could not help me. The royal college has agreed to give me an extension for another six months of my limited registration and has asked me to secure an SHO post (training position only) as early as possible. Any advice?
