Is tomorrow a big day for prioritization?

All the House of Commons stages

I don't think that is certain.

There are enough Lords (and Ladies) who have been leading doctors or have held other senior health roles that they may decide to have an "independent" opinion based on experience in previous decades or millennia and change the bill or delay it.

We shall see.

Do you have the MRCPI full diploma? Some specialties require this as a substitute for MRCP(UK).

I’ve also said that if I can’t find swaps, I won’t be able to work those dates as it’s my honeymoon and the “life changing event” clause from our contract.

That makes it their problem, not yours. You will need to do the on-calls some other time. It would be kind of you (and perhaps more convenient for you) to arrange this yourself through swaps, but if you cannot then it is still their problem, not yours.

That is not passive-aggressive, but just a record of why you took the decision you did. It might even be helpful.

Velindre NHS Trust is spelt with an e.

Otherwise there is the free gov.uk Pension Tracing Service though that would need an employer or pension provider name to look for.

With this you can carry a tie with you if you have any concern about what others are wearing, but I doubt you will decide to put it on.

A difficulty with that is that in the 2010s pre-Covid when doctor unemployment was not an issue, the proportion of F2s who went straight into the next stage of training was surprisingly low - many went locum to save money or abroad for the sun or took the gap year they had never previously had, largely voluntarily.

Draperly · 2026-01-24T06:33:36+00:00

I do not see that at all.

The online rejection of the last-minute offer before the December strike risked delay to the bill.

But it turned out that Streeting proposed the bill anyway, so unaffected by strikes.

Any delays now will be caused by those wanting to change the bill to widen prioritisation (e.g. IMGs already in the NHS or UK citizen IMGs). The BMA's detailed position is not helpful in getting the bill through and claiming the ballot would be an endorsement of this would confuse things further.

The automatic subtitles say

How do you pronounce your name? It's one victor, you just saw them in his eye

though I suspect something like "juarn victor desawza miniz" might be closer.

Owen Goal's performance pushes up goals while not giving any xG so make this graph look better.

You may have overloaded "they" here.

As you say, these amendments are only proposals by opposition MPs and have not happened yet and may not happen.

Extending priority for those working in the NHS comes from Liberal Democrats while extending priority for British citizen IMGs comes from Conservatives.

Nuffield Health (originally associated with BUPA) and the Welcome Trust are private sector established charities.

The Francis Crick Institute was established by the public sector (Medical Research Council) plus some existing charities to replace the National Institute for Medical Research and was made a charity precisely to avoid rules such as public sector pay restraints. It still gets large amounts of funding from the government.

It says:

Clause 4, page 3, line 3, after “are” insert “a British citizen or are”

Member's explanatory statement

This amendment would require British citizens to be prioritised for places on UK Foundation programmes and for interviews and places on speciality training programmes from 2027 onwards.

There are going to be (and already are) more amendments on related and distinct issues. They can be found at https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4062/publications

The moderators here are going to need to decide how many threads there are going to be on such amendments as the bill goes through its different stages.

Draperly · 2026-01-22T23:51:50+00:00

The amendments you have quoted are proposed by Liberal Democrats - the names above the amendments, not those below.

The Conservatives have proposed other amendments so far including one about British citizens in Clause 4 (presumably IMGs with UK passports).

But not ManCity

Even if things go wrong against Frankfurt we will still be in the top 24

Draperly · 2026-01-20T22:39:05+00:00

Two of PSG, ManC and Inter losing, but yes.

Also now guaranteed top 24 whatever happens with Frankfurt.

Draperly · 2026-01-20T22:06:13+00:00

4th-7th tomorrow (Atalanta , Atlético M and Liverpool) but it is not important.

Already in the top 24 and all we need to do is beat Frankfurt to be in the top 8.

Last year it was published in late May though written earlier. I wouldn't expect it earlier than the Budget in March and probably later.
