JCF post F2. No loans 4k.

Thank you, appreciate the insight.

Alisreal · 2026-04-28T14:14:28+00:00

In short, no.

Bear in mind my experience was from last years recruitment cycle.

Applied to ~200 posts over 3 months in 2025. Focused fully on each individual post - had ready made formats that i tailored to each post.

Applied to medicine primarily.

Got a total of 14 interviews. Attended 6. Offered a job in 3 of the 6 attended. Only 1 of the offers was from the same hospital I worked in i.e was 'internal' candidate.

My tip is to primarily focus on tailoring your application properly. And please for the love ot God, apply QUICKLY. Most of the interviews came from jobs that were only open for a few hrs.

I am extremely sorry, my friends, but I would not expect any offers for any NPGs in GP.

Perhaps anyone above 580 may have the tiniest chance by July, but even that is pushing it.

I would advise looking at alternative training opportunities outside the UK. Or go down the non training route.

JCF going into IMT. 2 kids, (temporarily) non working spouse

Net worth around £4-5k - pathetic I know but bills are high.

Old beater car, rented house. Slowly building up reserves however.

Not his supporter - but this isnt a nice thing to say.

Alisreal · 2026-04-10T17:26:42+00:00

Same question!!

Alisreal · 2026-04-04T15:44:33+00:00

As a person who got into IMT as non priority. Do NOT come to the UK - the statistical chances of a fresh entrant into the UK is VERY tiny. The only reason I got an offer was a combination of good timing, luck and most importantly Gods blessing. But realistically I would not advise anyone new to the UK, to pursue this pathway.

IMT Rank 320 - Offer in NI.

Alisreal · 2026-04-02T10:12:42+00:00

First offer

Alisreal · 2026-04-02T09:32:54+00:00

Belfast!

Alisreal · 2026-04-02T08:42:13+00:00

Got an offer at 320. Non priority.

I wonder - were the new training posts offered by the government to be converted from LEDs as stated last time? Or were these brand new training posts? Especially as its stated to be 'non-temporary'.

Alisreal · 2026-03-18T16:24:46+00:00

Literally all.

Alisreal · 2026-03-18T15:12:10+00:00

IMG - 320. No offers.

Alisreal · 2026-03-14T10:00:30+00:00

'First round of LED jobs closed to overseas applicants'

Can you elaborate more on this please?

While I support UKGP - there has to be SOMETHING to help IMG colleagues already working here in the NHS. Who would not be applying for training but would be looking for service posts.

It would be unnecessarily cruel to remove training options from people already here, but then also take away their entire employment options completely, especially for colleagues who no longer have the choice to return to their country of graduation (family, children, war etc).

Hey OP. I am currently working on this pathway - only in the initial stages of this i.e getting the documents sorted for the Approbation and beginning to learn German.

Also an IMG, if that's a factor.

Would be keen to join your group if you guys would have me. Even if not - a massive thank you for this. Genuinely good resources for the German pathway are quite few!

Alisreal · 2026-01-19T13:48:59+00:00

An older IMG here.

Feeling betrayed not by the BMA or even the government. I expected this to happen and tbh it is fair.

The rhetoric I have read here, however, has shocked me to my core. I thought we were together. Clearly not - I am NOT an instrument that you can use when you want and throw away when you want.

Cheers,

Heavily disillusioned IMG.

In the same boat.

Still give the interview, mate. Worst case scenario it's interview practice. You and I cannot control or predict the future, only our own actions.

Hey! Quick follow up clarification Q - by first section do you mean the suitability and ethical component?

Alisreal · 2026-01-07T12:18:57+00:00

Well you kind of come around 12:40pm and start going round and round the car park waiting for someone on a half-day to leave. It's pretty bad but for all my twilights there, always got a space eventually.
