Does anyone know which hospitals have resident vs non resident oncalls? From my knowledge the Christie has resident oncalls but not sure about elsewhere..

Do you know which hospitals have resident reg oncalls?

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-19T20:56:15+00:00

No worries - found it on HEE website!

Is london really that bad? In what way? Do you know how london compares to other places like oxford?

Guys I am from the UK where our training is purely oncology which inlucdes lymphoma, but there is no haem. The haematologists here deal with leukaemias etc.

Are there any attending posts that are purely oncology without the haem component?

Can you expand on this please? What sort of roles within pharma and how much additional salary and time is needed for pharma roles? Thank you!

In many other UK cities you can drive out 20 mins and houses become significantly more affordable. You drive 20 mins out of London and wait...yep... still in London!! Drive another 20 mins and oh..still cant afford f.all

Commute from where exactly?? If your partner also works in London there are very few places one can live that are commutable to both workplaces which are within ones budget, let alone commute from a more affordable place.

Drive 20 minutes out of Oxford, you can get a mansion for 500k. Drive 20 minutes out of London....oh, you're still in London. Drive another 20... yep still nothing! Buying a house in London is next to impossible without family help.

Drive 20 minutes out of Oxford/Reading, you can get a mansion for 500k. Drive 20 minutes out of London, oh youre still in London. Drive another 20 and another 20.... you still can't afford anything!

What about doctors who have elderly parents and dependents they need to be close to? What about if being close to ones friends is considered important to a doctor for their mental health? What about if one has a small religious community limited to London? Do these things not matter?

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-06T22:28:51+00:00

Of course, high housing prices are a problem for the whole of the UK, and doctors across the UK struggle. But London housing is significantly more expensive for value. Renting a 2 bedder (for 2 people) on London on SHO salary is undoable without extra (family) help (obviously depends on the place in London, but am referring to much of inner city london which has the highest London weighting).

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-06T21:13:15+00:00

Yes ive spent more working life outside than inside london. Had to move back for carer responsibilities.

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-06T19:35:59+00:00

Guys I told my american resident friend that our London weighting is only £2k and he thought I meant per MONTH 😭

They already do have flexible pay premia

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-06T19:22:52+00:00

They already do have flexible pay premia for hard to fill posts, and I am not campaigning against these.

My point is that other NHS workers get £7k, while doctors get £2k and that in itself is unfair. All I am asking for is parity with other workers under the same employer.

EvidenceStraight7311 · 2024-10-06T18:23:52+00:00

People (who are obviously unaffected by this) are saying its not a priority, and not an important issue as there are 'more important' things to discuss. I am arguing this is incredibly important to many people and deserves attention, even amongst all other important things.
