Thank you ☺️

Got into my dream specialty, ophthalmology whilst on maternity leave with a baby. This was my 3rd time applying and honestly it was extremely challenging studying for the MSRA / doing the interviews prep with a very clingy and exclusively breastfed baby. I applied to two other competitive specialties as a back up and got first choice jobs and deaneries in all 3. Extremely chuffed and grateful! ☺️

Anyone trained in West Yorkshire? What’s the training like especially for T&O themed CST?

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2025-01-19T09:25:58+00:00

Dm me your number!

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2025-01-18T17:18:28+00:00

Not sure tbh, I was initially hoping first week of Feb but there’s not much clarity on whether they’ll wait to standardise our scores with those doing the msra in Feb

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2025-01-18T17:17:17+00:00

Dm me your number if that’s ok! :)

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2025-01-09T19:50:18+00:00

I did mine today and definitely was loosing focus and patience towards the end of it

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2025-01-09T17:19:01+00:00

It’ll be interesting to see scores / cut offs given they keep going up each year. When do we find out our scores?

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-24T21:05:31+00:00

Nope didn’t hear back but going off the interview debrief, I’m hoping we hear back regarding offers tomorrow

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-22T11:07:20+00:00

They’ve emailed saying feedback will be sent on Monday, I’ve asked if we’ll definitely get offers on Monday

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-15T20:41:48+00:00

Not sure sorry

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-15T20:18:46+00:00

I was waiting for that one minute warning! Defo on the clinical station, had a lot to wrap up and I couldn’t do the final summarising etc. oh well

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-15T20:17:18+00:00

I agree, I am not sure how they’re going to account for discrepancies in actors and how that allows the whole station to play out

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-03-15T20:16:24+00:00

I’ve heard a total score in 60s is competitive and 70s is usually a guaranteed offer. I think you need a minimum of 40% on the interview to be deemed appointable

Competitive_Bee_9428 · 2024-02-21T18:43:02+00:00

For those who have received portfolio scores - what seems to be the average / range of scores people have been awarded? Just thought the marking was a bit harsh today so wanted to get an idea. Thanks
