	I am a British-qualified doctor, who completed MRCP and then left to work in intensive care in Hong Kong for ten years. I have now returned to Berkshire and wish to change specialty, preferably moving into general practice. Which deanery gives the best information and where else can I find advice?

	I want to work for a year in Australia to widen my breadth of medical experience before I choose which specialty to apply for. If I defer my application, will I be able to apply and be interviewed for specialty training posts without returning to the UK?

	I enjoy my current career but I feel unfulfilled by what I can offer patients. I believe very strongly that I could be a good doctor and I have a particular interest in paediatrics. I'm 36 with a young family and my concerns are that if I am fortunate enough to gain entry on to a graduate medicine course in 2008, will my career prospects be compromised by my late start?
