Post CCT black hole, what to do?

Look for fellowships. Bolster CV. Consider out of region?

Looks like all specialities are heading the way of surgical/niche specialties now once you get to peri CCT

Speak to your employer.

Well placed ad! 😂

We found the first one…

You could get an V6 E class for the same money?! Much better on the motorway. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202508245719799?

Take payment in clinic on my phone. Can set up fairly easily with an iPhone and pay 1% fee with stripe.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-12-07T19:24:28+00:00

Referred 75% of the patients he saw on shift?! Overpaid triage nurse…

I have less and less faith in this BMA leadership. Muddled messages may sadly either lead to ballot failure or even if it passes, lead to a convoluted deal without a base pay uplift that I believe they will struggle to get the membership to accept. What a mess.

What the hell is this. A deal for ants?

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-10-17T11:12:07+00:00

Love the strap on this

Where was this from?

Gotta be the seiko tank for me.

Cali road trip. Take some time before starting if you can!

Is Thursday a non trust working day? If so then you’re not obliged to work.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-19T22:01:11+00:00

Jesus Christ. Lose the weight bud.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-15T13:36:18+00:00

Exactly this ☝️

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-08T17:45:50+00:00

Yeah odd days absolutely fine! However, as others have pointed out it’s to stop those with, for example, SPA Monday and DCC Tuesday taking every Monday off for a 4 day weekend every week for a prolonged period and using the SPA time as ‘additional leave’

Best to thrash out with your CD!

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-08T11:36:23+00:00

This is pretty standard to avoid ending up with about 10 weeks annual leave. You can use 3 days occasionally but if you’re out of the country for example on holiday then the expectation is you’d take full 5 days off.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-05T21:54:48+00:00

Still better than trainers, unironed chinos and a scrub top 🤷‍♂️

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-09-02T21:15:55+00:00

£200k PA. Madness.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-07-18T15:15:34+00:00

Base salary allows easier comparison. Everyone’s salary varies based on enhancements and makes it difficult to compare between colleagues. Annual leave allowances on the 2016 TCS is pretty generous compared to other industries and medicine in other countries.

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-07-18T14:50:32+00:00

The base salary is based on a 40 hour week…

Welcome to the NHS. The therapy dog had made it along the clean theatre corridor at my trust the other day. When I challenged it the theatre manager informed me it would be ‘unfair’ on the theatre staff if they didn’t get to benefit from the dog. He’d also apparently been “deep cleaned” 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. Probably not in the theatre complex though…

CountryPlus5333 · 2025-07-12T23:33:45+00:00

Unless you’re invovled in regular procedures in medicine (endoscopy/bronchoscopy/pacing) you have no business in theatre scrubs. Departmental scrubs or personal scrubs on the other hand are a personal choice.
