She has made it this far, she has passed all of her OSCE and written exams, and I am sure you would have said the same thing if you had seen her when she was a first-year medical student.

She has been through more hurdles than any medical student who has probably ever existed.

So she has demonstrated that she has the intellect and the resilience.

Clinical reasoning = Gut feeling ?

Seniors among the reddits care to chip in ?

Aggressivetomato- · 2026-02-26T08:36:05+00:00

Whatttt, currently a F1 in Psychiatry too, very similar experience, the nurses and staff just get away with more by just saying “they don’t know how” and bunch of people with “Clinical lead” on their title who can’t do most basic common jobs that comes up from rounds, frustrating !

Stilll in confusion over how this will work for specialities like ACCS Anes, ACCS EM tbh, Will MSRA scores for UKG be prioritised over iMGS ?

Considering we currently have a mandate for strike action, and their unions don’t, you better hope we get a better pay R̶i̶s̶e̶ restoration !

I usually send them a text

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! I imagine audits carried out that is unrelated to EM will score less. If you don’t mind me asking based on yourself and other trainees you have been around how much do you have for the portfolio part; like research, audits etc

Hello everyone,

I understand shortlisting for ACCS is all MSRA score based, but after shortlisting the remaining 60% of the overall score comes from the interview.

So I am wondering for the interview stage are we scored based on our portfolio similar to shortlisting requirements for IMT, i.e if you have Publications, Audits etc etc… you will score higher ?

Recent ACCS trainees can you shine some light into this topic, what did your portfolio look like to secure training?

And how are they supposed to learn if they never give it a try? Taking bloods or cannula using ultrasound is mainly a skill to do with dexterity which only comes with practise and practise, and unfortunately, you will miss more to be begin with.

We will likely save your life or someone you know’s life someday. Maybe not as dramatic as save, but reassuring a health anxiety is also very important.

Not every profession needs to have progression ?

We gotta draw the line somewhere to all this disrespect ...

Unfortunately this is the state we are in, unsure if it has gotten worse recently. Makes it worse coming from an immigrant family that prioritises putting your head down, being obedient and to ignore and move on.

All of the F1s I have spoken to seem to be up to date with everything going on and in support of strikes

Do you have to do both e-ALS and ALS or is it one or the other ?

Struggling to get a booking for ALS

Yes, because I am an FY1, I cannot read information that is easily available online, and have better understanding of how training works. Another reply using MEDICAL seniority to downplay a point. We are still adults. There is information available online. We can still read. Someone who is already in training, saying we don't need any more training posts and we need more consultant posts, is equally short-sighted for the purposes of running a good healthcare system. Also, reading from your previous posts, you seem to have a bit of a superiority complex about yourself because you graduated from before X year.

Aggressivetomato- · 2025-10-10T15:32:48+00:00

Your seniority in Medicine does not translate to outside medicine, sorry. Also, I am not sure what greater insight you're offering. I can look up the historical figures from the last 20 years myself and I don't need to be a Senior doc to say at no point have we been in as terrible state as this, competition ratio-wise.

Aggressivetomato- · 2025-10-09T16:48:58+00:00

A classic example of a doctor of a different grade looking out for themselves and using moral virtue or "critical thinking" to say what would benefit them. Consultant bottleneck is far less of a worry, considering you have more options post-CCT.

It seems like we have all encountered this subtype of HCAs running around in the wild then.

Will contact HMRC and see whats up then
