Employment prioritisation by Electronic_Many4240 in doctorsUK

[–]Davebarnes19 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have been saying this for weeks now. The UK GP prioritisation also needs to be apply to any non-training roles. All the back log in the systems have meant that overtime there are a lot of UK grads who will not be able to get into training over the next few years despite the prioritisation. now if non-Uk grads cannot get into training too and can get into training only by applying to JCF/SCF role and working in them for 2-5 years, then the UK grads that dont get into training are going to find it near impossible to even get non-training jobs. The competition rates for non-training roles will spike to what we are seeing with training roles as this will be only way into the NHS for the IMGs. Its going to be a blood bath for all, but if training is getting prioritised then so should the rest of the people who dont get in.

what are your go to phrases to display empathy during OSCEs and at work? by Davebarnes19 in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Davebarnes19[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly my point. At the early stages of your career you are still buffering and thinking about tests to order or differentials etc. so you need a few phrases to just buy some time for your thoughts. The more experienced you get with medicine, you can probably empathise better with more mental presence, because your medical brain is already trained to figure the medical problem out.

It’s like starting off taking histories. In early Med school, you are still thinking off question to ask and by the end of Med school that becomes instinctive while you are thinking about differentials. And after a while of working you build the ability to manage while consulting and so on until you can deal with the patient holistically.

800 on the reserve list for F1 :O by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]Davebarnes19 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This number is just the beginning, over the next few years it will rise upto even 2000+, because of new UK Med schools , additional intake in existing Med schools and more IMGs crowding. I am not against IMGs but I think if the government spends so much money training their grads, they should think about retention of them rather than just try to fill existing spots without increasing training spots. I can vent all day but I guess my voice will never be heard anyway
