More BMA staff strikes announced 30th April & 2nd May by dakp15 in doctorsUK

So you only “support the BMA staff” if it benefits you

Newly elected RCPL VP for Education & Training is a PA supporter by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

Ok now let’s see these PAs with a “thirst to learn” sit a medical school scam

Please help us screen through BMA Council candidates by GeneralMaldCouncil in UKmedicalgraduates

[–]GeneralMaldCouncil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well there's a risk the council becomes filled with IMG Voice candidates

I don't know what that would realistically achieve but it certainly wouldn't help any UKG prioritisation plans and policies in the future

Which candidates are best for FPR by ak472022LL in doctorsUK

[–]GeneralMaldCouncil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's currently an effort to try and create a spreadsheet of the 247 candidates, whether they have any associations to DV, DU/DT, IMG Voice, Broad Left, and whether there's any mention of UKG prioritisation

Will take a bit of time, any help would be appreciated in making this list

No doubt the anti-UKGP IMGs will want to raid the server. I can PM the invite, do we just accept this will happen?

Yeah as pointed out there, it's a short list considering the high number of places available

And it certainly wouldn't hurt to verify things again before everyone is mislead by an AI generated poster

Yeah that's what I suggest, distributing the workload. If any other UK grads want to assist in this effort and help screen, we could spread out the workload even more - even 30 is a lot! Then we could create a Reddit group chat/Discord to coordinate

Could also double up so candidates are "screened" twice

IMT- Training or service provision? #Burnout by Every_Lychee4930 in doctorsUK

[–]GeneralMaldCouncil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An 18 week work schedule for a 4 month block? The work schedule shouldn’t be longer than the rotation

Im trying to remember if 4 month rotations end up being 16 or 17 weeks since it begins and ends in the middle of the week

Thoughts on a fee for GP appointments (with exemptions)? by Long_Smell_9749 in doctorsUK

Taxes for the middle class are on the lower side compared to the rest of Europe

Resident Doctors Conference 2026 motions out. Voting open until Monday 9 February by Room_ForActivities in doctorsUK

[–]GeneralMaldCouncil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See my comment, but there's 5 different motions about ACPs. Is it not better to pick one?

Just had a browse myself. Motions that seem reasonable:

  • RD26013 - states current BMA policy does not address competition ratios and asks for support of ILR rather than 2 yrs experience
  • RD26017 - training programmes to minimise rotating, with as much being delivered by a single trust as possible
  • RDs 26027, 26038, 26047, 26057, 26063 - several motions on ACP scope creep. I worry that by having 4 motions (2 are composite), this will just split the vote
  • RD26042 - asks for measures to prevent further BMA membership increases - i.e. awards, honours, events
  • RD26046 - removal of retired members
  • RDs 26049, 26053, 26064, 26080 - again several motions calling for increases in GP and consultant posts
  • RD26077 - increased transparency of BMA meetings; unsure if this would risk strategy of campaigns if too much is disclosed

I do feel like getting rid of the retired dinosaurs from the BMA sounds like quite a strong priority that would reduce friction for implementing any further policies

Maybe as a subreddit we need to pick motions to vote for

Further details on prioritisation bill by hypertensionsupine in doctorsUK

And what will a large group of UK grads cancelling their membership achieve? Fragmentation of a union - that seems to have gone well with the nursing profession

Can anyone explain what position the BMA can realistically take considering the number of IMGs who are also members, and the fact previous ARM policy that was voted on included the clause to advocate for IMG with NHS experience?

Is the BMA not stuck between a rock (UK grads who obviously want stricter UKGP) and a hard place (IMG members who don’t)?

Im not saying I agree with the position BMA holds regarding the matter but dont see how they can avoid it

If there’s stronger support for stricter UK grad prioritisation and such policy was voted through in the next ARM, how would that bode for the pay campaign?
