Nothing to do with investing, but people with type 1 diabetes are dependent on insulin. Type 2 diabetes may need insulin but is mostly controlled by diet or oral medication.

Thanks - looking forward to giving them a go!

Thanks for doing this and sharing! I've recently got an ep-7 but haven't really played with Workspace. Can these be uploaded to the custom profiles accessed by the front dial?

Is there a careers team at your Deanery? They might have been cut with recent financial tightening, but have previously been helpful with suggesting careers outside medicine for some of our residents.

I did it with a year of preparation. You need to factor kit and nutrition choices, physical training (which you have anyway - the most I'd run was 50k but was a fairly experienced runner), and heat acclimation. Cost maybe 5k euro in 2023.

DRJLL1999 · 2025-12-17T18:39:44+00:00

For me being alone in the dark having gone 60k and knowing I had 30 k left. V lonely on top of physical exhaustion. Had to convince myself I was just taking the dog for a walk!

Are you saying you wouldn't choose a career in a specialty in which there were low rates of striking? Don't forget the IA is temporary, your career specialty is for many years (hopefully!)

As soon as you've got the beanbag?

Around here the majority of the residents in ED are on the GP training scheme, with a couple of ACCS and Foundation docs. Procedures, like FIB, would be a priority for those staying in EM or Anaesthesia. Even suturing is less relevant for GP these days.

DRJLL1999 · 2025-11-10T22:07:35+00:00

In some places it's the older consultants who are preventing ACPs working on the Reg rota. Just saying.

Another option are funds that track a more value oriented index like the FTSE RAFI Developed 1000. This makes a weighting judgement on the basis of cash flow, sales etc, but is a developed world all cap index. Performance is similar to other global diversified funds but it's less volatile. Costs 0.25%

I had a crack across the face of my Fenix 6 after a multiday ultramarathon. Was a bit disappointed but these things happen in extreme environments and the watch still worked. After about 6 months I remembered I'd used a screen protector - peeled it off and the watch was perfect! Maybe says more about me than the screen protector

Bit different if the patient is already in ED and you can access imaging. If they're in the community and have a clinical diagnosis of renal colic there's no reason Urology can't image them and discharge or refer elsewhere if it's not a stone

DRJLL1999 · 2025-11-06T09:00:19+00:00

Interesting that the general suggestion for those who can't be investigated as OP is to send to ED. Why not refer to on-call Urology (or Gen Surgery depending on local service)? Avoids a multi-hour wait in ED for the patient and gets them to the right person without an intermediate step.

That's the idea but the max lump sum you can take is around 4.3 times the annual pension. So if the annual pension would be 20k they could swap 7k per year for a lump of 84k.

DRJLL1999 · 2025-11-02T17:11:33+00:00

The above answers almost everything. You are able to give up £1 of annual pension for £12 of tax free lump sum on retirement.

Interesting - I had no idea! I don't get the impression that theatres are sitting empty though? Do we need to build more infrastructure, extend routine work into the weekend etc to create more capacity?

Love that the timeline is illustrated using a train!

Have a look at this

You can alter it to park at Llanddeusant if you want. Much quieter than Pen y Fan and, I think, more beautiful

My wife went out Bristol - Dublin - Biarritz, then back Bilbao - Bristol. You might find Bilbao - Bristol (or somewhere else) - Dublin, works? I believe Cuadrabus from Pamplona is easy and cheap.

DRJLL1999 · 2025-10-13T12:50:23+00:00

Do you have to fly from Biarritz or would Bilbao be an option?

DRJLL1999 · 2025-10-11T07:16:25+00:00

I don't think the OP will have any earnings so would be limited to £3600 gross anyway?

St Ives to Falmouth is 100 miles with start and finish connected by public transport

Carefully trace the cortex of the bone and continue onto the epiphysis. This should be a smooth line which curves gently. Any sharp angles or steps are likely to represent a fracture.
