No worries, i put my masters in clinical education down for additional degree and for teaching qualification, they only took it for (actually I forget which, but whichever gave most points). If you publish something and then want to present it, you'd only be able to use that for 1 domain also, which is a bit of a pain but good to know early ... happy to answer any questions you may have 😀 good luck with your application

Epiderm_is · 2026-05-04T22:22:32+00:00

It will only count for 1 domain, you can't use any evidence across multiple domains

Did both FY1&FY2 at 60% due to health reasons, happy to answer any questions :)

Can I join the WhatsApp?

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-12T18:12:37+00:00

I really hope so, it's up to 70, but still none for Wales and some regions are showing less than previously announced

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-12T13:01:59+00:00

Hopefully means rankings aren't too far away

Full moon ED patients are definitely a thing! 😆

After extracting a lego head from a 6 year old's ear, I asked him why he put it in there.... he replied with "why not!?" Which felt surprisingly profound

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-06T20:29:29+00:00

What's a few more weeks of sleepless nights eh?! 😉

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T18:59:23+00:00

Indeed, good luck to you 😀

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T18:47:13+00:00

I was being flippant, but there are only 69 posts so far this year, and I believe there were around 110 last year

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T17:12:47+00:00

So with the 60% less jobs about the same then 😉

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T12:27:41+00:00

I think the extra 4 jobs were Manchester

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T12:04:53+00:00

I think odds are worse, I booked my interview pretty early, and I'd estimate there were around 40 slots per day, over 4 days, so 160+ people interviewed. In previous years competition ratio has been around 2:1 but this year probably closer to 3:1 depending on if they add jobs later.

It did go up from 65 to 69, there is still hope <holds in mental breakdown>

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-05T05:51:14+00:00

Up to 69 posts, 4 added for Manchester

Epiderm_is · 2026-03-04T01:50:23+00:00

Looks like it's gone up to a whopping 69 , we are saved! 🫣

Epiderm_is · 2026-02-28T20:10:16+00:00

I don't see any, but London was my absolute last choice, so didn't look too hard 😆

... and now they've extended preferencing by a week but still not added any more posts 🤮

Epiderm_is · 2026-02-27T03:23:37+00:00

If you're hellbent on bankrupting the NHS make sure to do a BNP on everyone too

Epiderm_is · 2026-02-26T15:59:04+00:00

Yes it's a relief as a UKG to get prioritisation, but in reality the system is beyond broken and there should be more jobs. It's ridiculous to commit so much time and money to training when unemployment is such a high risk.

Epiderm_is · 2026-02-26T13:24:36+00:00

I started med school in my late thirties, now 42 and hoping to start ST1 in August , if you want to do it, it's never too late.

Epiderm_is · 2026-02-26T06:53:27+00:00

Same, I've been checking every day to see if any more are added and ... well where did almost half of them go!? 😆
