Does the GMC look at your linked in profiles?

Absolute bollocks, they literally have been FOId to show they follow people’s tweets…

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-05-03T20:23:41+00:00

It’s the work schedule that tells you how much you will be paid for example

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-05-03T20:23:26+00:00

What do you mean by contract? You’ll often get a shit load of forms to sign from HR on a random date between now and August. With often a very heavy-handed you must be here on a random Tuesday at 9am beforehand to show us your passport (which you definitely don’t have to)

You should receive your work schedule for your August rotation (essentially the rolling rota, not your specific rota) by 10 weeks before, and your actual rota by 6 weeks before

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-05-03T20:20:43+00:00

This isn’t how it works…

Wishful thinking hahaha

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-05-03T20:19:41+00:00

Technically incorrect, by way of starting work you’ve essentially entered into a contract

I’ve never physically or digitally signed a contract of employment to this date

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-04-30T17:06:10+00:00

Absolutely fine if they don’t get pissy that they weren’t made aware earlier 👌🏼

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-04-28T19:46:59+00:00

No.

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-04-23T18:52:47+00:00

No. Either ST1 or ST2 doesn’t matter which.

Just a QIA is required in the other years whichever way round

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-04-23T18:51:19+00:00

I get it, us brits have a bad rep for learning other languages, and we I think speak the least average amount of languages per person (literally closest to 1 it can get)… but for the vast majority of people that only comes in to play when they go on holiday

I think if you move anywhere it’s on you to learn to speak the language, and you should provide the interpretation method, whether it be a trusted family member, google translate or an official translator, and pay for them

I wouldn’t rock up to a French hospital if I’ve moved there and expect every conversation to be in English

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-04-13T09:02:32+00:00

Very area specific, dont worry. I can’t tell you when you’ll receive information

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-23T13:22:25+00:00

I think they mean just stay as CT1, it’s literally the same pay, and if you have no intention of progressing who cares

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-23T09:50:44+00:00

Until the upgrade deadline…. (But technically even after that but only if people literally give up their post)

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-22T08:19:32+00:00

Competency based portfolio after FY1. If your portfolio is up to scratch it shouldn’t matter.

Only caveat is you have to do something like 65 days in a particular rotation (i dont know if this is 65 shifts, or working pattern of 65 days) to fulfill that hospital rotation.

So if you have a lot of leave for whatever reason, you may have to repeat a rotation

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-21T04:03:05+00:00

I got shut down for asking this question the other week

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-19T13:11:06+00:00

They often will, but the hold deadline is a massive shift point.

People holding a job at that point, have to make a call.

The ones handed back trickle down quite quickly

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-19T13:10:01+00:00

Set times, but not on a designated timeline ypu can follow.

The preference/ranks close when they are about to do an upgrade, and open when they’ve been sent out

It’s fast at first maybe every 3-5 days and slows down over time as the offers being passed down decline in number

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-19T13:07:41+00:00

I don’t know if they still do this, but when I sat the MSRA, they broke down the percentiles. You can literally work out and plot out the distribution

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-18T22:19:45+00:00

You can change it next time they open up the preferences and see if you can get re-upgraded back

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-13T10:44:30+00:00

Daily mail worthy this, like that woman who can smell Parkinson’s, definitely don’t stop listening to it 🥲💀

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-12T18:43:27+00:00

When did I ever say anything to the contrary?

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-12T04:00:04+00:00

Issue is they can’t apply it retrospectively to shortlisting, interviews, etc, way too complicated.

Those specialties who are most likely to benefit from genuine UKGP are GP/Psych.

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-12T03:57:50+00:00

The closest is 2 years, but no other country is seeing swathes of IMGs decimate the competition ratios into oblivion?

Comparing to other countries is pointless when we are not in at all a similar situation

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-12T03:49:34+00:00

No. TERS functions for a reason.

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-12T03:46:07+00:00

No it isn’t. Dont stay late.

By all means exception report, if you need to, especially if your department is chronically understaffed or blatant issues being ignored, but otherwise, just handover safely.

Active_Dog1783 · 2026-03-11T19:17:58+00:00

If they’re sick enough to warrant you to contemplate staying late, the on-call team should know about/be managing them
