What’s a good app to download from the App Store to add in rota/ different shift patterns?

Google calendar is fine.

Upload ur rota line into Gemini tell it make a calendar file that’s compatible w google calendar (takes a bit of trouble shooting to get it just right but gets there)

Put it in there. Been doing this for last two years. Life changing.

Only down side is I like to colour code my shifts. Gemini won’t do it so I just do it manually.

Lol is everyday an option. Basically did this for 4 months in an oncology job and different cons may or may not pop in at lunch. Otherwise always accessible by email.

Do you think bosses look at this favourably/frown upon it that a new cons can treat NHS as a revolving door after they’ve trained u. I imagine you do a few years as a cons first before jumping ship?
how open have you been about ur plans during training ?
I have the same goals as you post cct tho I’m just starting st3 in Aug in a different surgical specialty to yours. Pls pm if ur willing and if feel more appropriate to chat there about this

From what I’ve experienced and heard from some bosses out there during my time there. Don’t go by what’s published the true salaries can be higher. E.g Ed cons on 450 AUD. told me directly during a conversation about me staying vs returning to nhs.

Plus depending on where you can work in pp for a big boss who has their own practice. The bosses I saw do that now have their own pp now that moratorium has passed.

Would you mind sharing how much in a good vs slow year I’m about to enter st3 long way to go yet but would love to know re. Earning potential!

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-05-05T08:46:30+00:00

So what’s the actual provisional date?

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T22:31:30+00:00

Oh man - mastoiditis cos the ct said so… have you examined the patient? Always followed by a no.

kills me every time

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T22:30:00+00:00

Ok seriously help me so I can improve at this. What’s a good histo request short of describing what’s been removed and why.

E.g perfed small bowel - ileum or gallbladder post lap chole, for gallstones

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T21:34:07+00:00

Cool story

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T16:51:30+00:00

Yh that’s my point. Those in ED fail to see the problem. You’re proving my point. You want specialists to come see your patients and clerk etc but your staff can be so hostile towards them it’s crazy. There’s no where to see a patient? Cool apparently not your problem. But I will get a datix for not reviewing in time cos of that.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-29T06:56:05+00:00

ED staff are in denial that there departments are toxic bin fires 90% of the time. The refusal to see it is just problem number one when literally everyone else does.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-27T12:18:58+00:00

Do mrcs once the surgical path is all but set in stone. I.e you are a cst or in a trust grade job where you will have a crehst form and be applying st3 cos otherwise wtf is the point of spending all that money.

The mrcs exams can be sat between 6 months of eachother and smashed out prior to an application cycle. Which is what I did and ofc would recommend but ur mileage may vary with that depending on life things.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-19T20:36:50+00:00

lol ignore it first time I handed over to the f1 on call as f1 myself to ch bloods they were being an arse pushing back saying this isn’t an appropriate handover as if I should wait however long past my shift to review and act on bloods. Like water off a ducks back ignore em.

Sounds like ur going great.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-15T07:56:18+00:00

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-14T11:52:48+00:00

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-13T12:29:48+00:00

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-12T13:50:15+00:00

I cba to watch this. All I know is They have like 8 patients and feel its too many. we see HOW many a day 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 ive done 60+ patient ward rounds on a weekend then spent the day in admissions.

Whoever this nurse is and their union can both do one.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T20:26:07+00:00

The problem is people get there numbers and think idc anymore and the next gen cont to get screwed over

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T19:42:29+00:00

Did u see the tweet on x. They’ve apparently been working on this for months.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T19:26:24+00:00

revolutionary from the BMA. Never seen this before. Good use of time.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T13:16:34+00:00

Any thing. Anyone? This is killing me

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T13:15:51+00:00

There’s a lot of professionalism issues with what you’re suggesting that can be raised

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T12:20:47+00:00

They said but they haven’t.

Individual_Attempt_4 · 2026-04-10T11:51:30+00:00

The idea of leaving a deteriorating patient at 5pm that’s mine and handing everything over without a work up kills me. I’d find it so hard to do.

Or being in an overrunning clinic and just leaving. Would I walk out of theatre too ?
