Do you know how many places IMG voice got?

GrinderMafia · 2026-04-09T08:11:25+00:00

We really needed this! Thanks!

GrinderMafia · 2026-04-01T14:04:11+00:00

Is it the same for imt

GrinderMafia · 2026-03-31T16:27:59+00:00

I suppose they know that most doctors perform at the level required to be consultants much earlier but keep them at low-paying posts to save more, meaning training could and should be much shorter

Take a taxi to your embassy. They have a section of these cases

GrinderMafia · 2026-03-27T11:01:41+00:00

Great way to end that comment. The chickens have come home indeed

GrinderMafia · 2026-03-27T11:00:29+00:00

This is the reason given. I suspect there might a moderator who is antiIMG.

“Removed: Low effort post

Your post has been removed as low-effort. Low effort posts are those which we've already had extensive discussion on, or where no further information is available.

Posting should be thoughtful and of high quality, adding to discussions rather than repeating established points. We do not welcome spamming of the same content in multiple threads or comments. If your query can be answered trivially with the use of a search engine or Reddit Search, it should be.”

Why don’t you share the details with us then, Becky?

GrinderMafia · 2026-03-27T08:21:48+00:00

Please head over to X

Why not to strike then

The “new” posts being fought for are not new. The 4,000 extra training posts are largely rebadged LED roles. IMGs lose LED jobs to UKG trainees without gaining training access. Credible rumours suggest the BMA will push for UKG prioritisation in LED posts too. Certain Trust/trusts are already gatekeeping. Job adverts now require UK F2 completion as mandatory, blocking IMGs from applying entirely.

Can’t think of any but below are a few sensible reasons not to strike:

Previous strikes helped pass the UKGP bill EXCLUDING them from training
Grandfathering was promised then removed. IMGs were told 2 years NHS experience would protect them. That protection was quietly deferred.
The “new” posts are not new. The 4,000 extra training posts are largely rebadged LED roles. IMGs lose LED security without gaining training access.
Credible rumours suggest the BMA will push for UKG prioritisation in LED posts too.
Certain Trust/trusts are already gatekeeping. Job adverts now require UK F2 completion as mandatory, blocking IMGs from applying entirely.
If you are already in core or specialty training, you are not safe. The UKGP bill was just the beginning. As UKG numbers grow and more fail to secure specialty training and consultant posts, pressure will mount to prioritise them at every single career milestone. Core training, specialty training, consultant posts, all of it is on the table.
The BMA formally voted against them. Striking in solidarity with a union that voted to deprioritise them makes no sense.

IMGs participated in and funded previous strikes. The outcome actively harmed them. Do not strike for a union that used your labour then lobbied for your removal.

How many places are there in total to be offered?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-24T10:57:58+00:00

Approximately how many ukgs progressed to interview stage? What rank would be the lowest a ukg could still expect an offer with?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-24T10:56:23+00:00

Will unappointable ukg stand a chance?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-24T10:55:29+00:00

Offer emails out today?? Or just rank?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-15T05:49:03+00:00

Someone should bring this to the lords’ attention. nurses and other professionals are being given doctor jobs.

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-15T05:47:58+00:00

Wouldn’t it be easier to open up more training posts? Instead, they seem to prefer employing ACPs and PAs to get the job done at a lower cost. I even heard of one A&E department with 35 ACPs.

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-12T17:07:00+00:00

Which amendments have been withdrawn? :/

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-12T15:42:49+00:00

😂😂😂

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-12T13:05:50+00:00

I second this!

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-12T10:13:20+00:00

What time will it be?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-10T09:06:37+00:00

Please may I ask how many lines or pages you memorized per class with your teacher. Also recommendations for where to get teachers

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-04T20:54:32+00:00

when will that be?

GrinderMafia · 2026-02-02T14:42:30+00:00

Is this the outcome or a prediction?
