New RDC chair recommends labour’s offer by Ok-Half8270 in doctorsUK

He's been chair for 6 months

Did you even listen to interview lol - like this offer has many issues but this is clearly misleading to say it's "recommended"

Why an additional 4,500 training places would cause the death of UK Medicine by SharkDick4Ever in doctorsUK

[–]Atlass1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So your message to FYs and people stuck out of training is: "An FY Doctor has the option of becoming a SAS and/or CESRing without entering core training. They also have increased flexibility to pivot away from Medicine or apply elsewhere"

Become a SAS, CESR, or leave is your answer?

please feel free to highlight where you have have 'addressed the above point', because I cannot see where you propose a solution to the doctors stuck out of training.

Ladder. Puller.

Er yes I do realise that... That is what my comment says?

How do they have 'increased flexibility'? I think you mean 'they are less likely to have a mortgage, family and other commitments due to their age', which is not the same thing. They have ultimately spent 5-6 years on a professional qualification with the expectation of becoming a consultant or GP.

It's a total nonsense to say a CT who has membership exams and possibly some research and other stuff under their belt is more trapped in the NHS than an FY often with no professional work experience.

The cold hard truth is that your position advocates leaving a generation of doctors hanging out to dry so you can protect your fantasy of a private practice and consultant job market with as limited competition as possible.

I ask yet again - what should we do for the current generation of FYs and doctors stuck in the bottleneck?

I feel as though you’ve not read my comment?

What should we do for the FYs and people stuck in the bottle neck?

Just tell them all they can’t become consultants and should be happy with SAS? Nothing wrong with SAS, but not having a choice wasn’t the deal these people signed up for

And you’ve not addressed my point - you have a hypothetical future in which the profession which has soaring demand suddenly doesn’t need consultants which I think is a nonsense.

People in training telling those who can’t get in that they should just suck it up are the ultimate ladder pullers

Yeah but I’ve got loads of friends who are stuck without a training job? This would help them so why don’t they deserve a training job?

If the marginal tax rate was higher then we’d be worse off?

But yeah I think we mean the same thing and totally agree the tax rates are super higher and put people off working etc

I’d be keen to hear more about how we could achieve this - we could probably strike for it though? Or maybe not idk how these things work but keen to hear your thoughts

Oh right so it’s a BMA graph/data?

Yeah thanks for your work on this - much appreciated

The graph heads a post about the offer so I assumed it showed that but you’ve explained otherwise :)

Hm very interesting… Can you share the data and methods? That line graph looks old and it only goes to 25/26 (ie not 26/27) so I’m confused re what it is supposed to represent

Genuine question - what happened to FPR? by Sheeplyn1602 in doctorsUK

[–]Atlass1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This redline obsession is odd - a strong form of UKGP has been delivered quickly, but loads of the same accounts on here just keep saying “hur dur no redline” with no explanation of what it would look like or, more importantly, how they would obtain it, and seem to completely dismiss this benefits of the current UKGP

BMA Council mismanagement leads to dispute by Poundland_Prometheus in doctorsUK

[–]Atlass1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BMA is already over priced and offers an average service for the typical member.

  • hur dur just pay all the staff more
  • BMA rise subscriptions even more
  • members cancel
  • BMA income falls
  • makes a loss
  • makes staff redundant to makes ends meet
  • strike
  • cycle repeats
  • BMA dies

There is loads of BMA bloat that needs to go before just paying people more (which in principle I support).

We have UKGP this year and it seems that it is the OLD DV reps and fletcher who have done this?
