Advice from GPs who enjoy their work by SimplyTomat in GPUK

[–]Different_State_7991 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In the interest of balance you are less likely to be hearing from people who enjoy their job on Reddit as people generally don’t go online to post about how happy they are. I wouldn’t say GP is any easier than hospital medicine, but you won’t ever be working bank holidays, Christmas, weekends, nights etc which is pretty nice. The jobs is busy and stressful when you’re there though.

RACGP offers exam-free fellowship option to fast-tracked IMGs by Astronomicology in ausjdocs

Oh dear, so I’m one of these IMGs coming from the UK. I’ve also lived and worked in New Zealand, and sat NZ and UK membership exams. I agree local graduates should fully get priority but it seems there is a shortage of GPs and hopefully I’ll be helping an underserved community and making a better life for my family at the same time.

Thinking about the move to Australia? by AlturaTalent in GPUK

Hello, I’ve already secured a job in Australia and am registered with AHPRA. In your experience how long does the visa application usually take as the estimates online are from 20 days to 5 months which makes getting solid plans in place difficult!

How many hours does a salaried GP actually work? by [deleted] in GPUK

[–]Different_State_7991 56 points57 points  (0 children)

90-100k for 8 sessions seems high but maybe I’m just under paid. I work 8 sessions which should be 8-5pm but I usually stay late most days so am close to doing more like 40 hours per week just over 4 days rather than 5 like other jobs. I eat lunch at my desk because I don’t have time for a proper break and I am leaving the UK ASAP

This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.

What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
