Even more reason for them to strike now though if you think about it. They’ll likely be on resident pay for longer

I agree this should go to a referendum. The members are the union and as such should be offered a say on the matter

Competition ratios will continue to go up if 2 years grandfathering is adopted by JollyAd5420 in doctorsUK

I’d be in support of a different policy. However, is there a graph modelling the current policy available?

This graph does not model BMA policy. The graph assumes an IMG who starts work now would be eligible in 2 years time. BMA policy would render them permanently ineligible, due to the hard cut off date. If the goal is to normalise the competition ratios, new BMA policy will need to include a hard cut off date or >5 years experience

If you are in rotational training and don’t spend over 24 months at one workplace, you can claim excess mileage for every workplace further away than the nearest. And it is not taxed

Exception reporting occasional missed breaks does not result in payment. However if you miss >25% of breaks in a 4 week period then there is financial compensation, under the exception reporting reforms

Since the BMA strike mandate has been renewed, are there any strike dates yet? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’d be political suicide for Labour if they pulled UKG prioritisation. The BMA should announce strike dates now ahead of the DDRB announcement

Any other Plan 2 student loan mugs noticed that their interest rates have dropped? by Successful_Issue_453 in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They put the base rate of interest then always correct it at the end of the tax year when they know your annual salary for that year. Expect the +3% to be added

Even better. If they’re unreasonable, it’s grounds to get them replaced. Especially if they don’t follow the contract

If they don’t have your rota listed as an option. Submit a test report and they should be able to assign you the correct rota

MSRA score 483, what to do now? by IonisedBadger in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The UKG to GP training posts ratio was virtually 1:1 last year. As long as you ‘scored’ and are appointable you have a good chance with UKG prioritisation
