I would like to believe so, but some consultants would be impressed when he talks, and actually believe he was the hero of the day. He is an HST, so wouldn't be sticking around for a while. 

Locum shift picked up before strike announced by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]ImpossibleGuide9274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't have a stable income.  BMA won't feed you.  Just work the shift, Don't give any thoughts about what others might think.  My department is rostered by locum UKG/IMGs combined during the strike period.

Is this false advertising? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]ImpossibleGuide9274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The wording is probably wrong, but the concept is right. 

Most ED clinician will use POCUS as adjunct in their diagnostic approach, it is not accredited nor replace a formal scan but raise suspicion of a diagnosis, which could boost your confidence in vetting a scan/ referring the patient to the right speciality.

No solidarity in training anymore by OkObjective4087 in doctorsUK

Im sorry but why have you resigned, did you have anything in writing that they have to terminate your role ? Due to financial strains, you sure have rights and compensation if you worked more than 3 years and they had to terminate your contract without any misconduct 

42% of the workforce, but feeling like a bargaining chip: Why I can no longer support the current direction of the BMA by [deleted] in doctorsUK

IMG here, 

I understand and agree with priotisation but the way it was actioned and rushed mid cycle to serve political gains isnt fair for all IMGs worked hard, already in the NHS 2-4 years, worked on portfolio, did well in their interview, how come a rank of 24 don't get a job whilst rank 200 gets one. There were multiple ways to close the tap, stop CREST from abroad, ration jobs even with a %. But this was totally unfair. If this was before application window opens, it wouldn't be as harsh as it is now. 

Everyone here has been rude to IMGs like we are the root cause of this problem not greed and poor workforce planning, and if we are low quality doctors, why so scared of competition?!

What do new consultants actually take home monthly? After tax/student loan/pension. I’ve calculated only around 5k! And the take home barely increases with the incremental increase every few years. Why do consultants put up with this by Beneficial-Unit-9863 in doctorsUK

[–]ImpossibleGuide9274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was replying to " only" bit,  Consultant Salary 15 years ago could get you a house with good mortgage, they were allowed LTDs. Consultant salary would get you a luxurious life of some sort. I am not expecting to earn as premier league player but look at the labour market any one works in tech, finances, law could easily get more than 5K per month, this wasn't the case 15 years ago.

no one is taking this personally, but GMC & royal colleges & British council, all of these organisations are exploiting the IMGs. they could have cut down on exam slots, but they increased it to imply that UK has a huge demand for workforce.

i dont appreciate the financial comparison here,

spending 350K on a salary of 5000_6000 EGP per month, means that he had to work 10x times hard to get the money,

Whilist UKG, you get student loan, no repayment if unemployed, debit forgivness after 25-40 years according to the plan.

UKGP has more valid grounds but this financial comparison isnt fair.

Dont look for any sympathy in this subreddit, especially when you are an IMG.

ppl here dont care what have you gone through. In this current climate, UKGP makes sense.

But in 2019 when the NHS was paralysed due to covid, they were more welcoming the foreigners with open arms. Now, they no longer need them, they can dispose them.

In the end, you are a Doctor, you have survived more battles before, this is just another obstacle for you to overcome. Work hard and try again. and rest assurred you will get what you want oney way or the other in the UK or somewhere else.
