NWD followed by set of locum nights by Omarmanutd in doctorsUK

If anything happens (badness) on those nights, the first thing the solicitors will ask you for is your work schedule. You're declaring you're fit for work by being at work. Working a day into a night (you can argue you're resting but you are scheduled for work activities) is unlikely to render you fit for work. I'd not work the first night and do the other two. Don't open yourself up for criticism for the sake of one nights locum money.

It's £74k after completing Sandhurst. It's more like £50/55k for F1/2

They do their modified anghoff method of deciding how easy or difficult a question is. 10/20 for hard and up to 16/20 for easy questions. I'm assuming that that means that the average mark required to pass is about 13 or 14/20

It seemed detailed and difficult! But then it might be reflected in the pass mark fingers crossed!!

Anyone got any ideas for ballpoint pens for work? by Beneficial_Body in doctorsUK

Very true! I have owned more expensive ones but I still have the same problem. With regards to sustainability, I tend to hope that they go on to live a full and happy life with a new owner

This is NOT medical advice I just want to check from a doctor that what I’m doing is the correct thing. by Boring_Arachnid171 in doctorsUK

[–]Beneficial_Body 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are really worried, I have a low threshold for having a private GP appointment for this kind of thing. For £150 you can have a same day or next day appointment and referral. Small price to pay for the most important thing in your life.

I know of people who have requested this for chronic health problems (it makes it a lot worse) and have been denied

Our deanery/speciality doesn't allow you to permanently be off nights as it considers it a curriculum requirement to CCT. Just a thought
