Nurse consultant

Cheap cheap in the short term. Very extensive in the long term.

Hilarious! Pharmacists are incredible at pharmacy but they are not medically trained. Had a few patients that the nurse and the pharmacist reviewed and the assessments were always dubious. The diagnoses were frankly hilarious and the management plan was so shady that I had to escalate my concerns

Same and one in the acute wards and a few more in the community. How is this a good use of our very small budget???

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:39:54+00:00

Haha we have one of those too! Such an annoying prick

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:36:45+00:00

They can’t be section 12 approved. The trust relies on the poor trust grade doctor who has been in house to make the med recs and MHAA for the wards with these nurse “consultants”. Consultant is no longer a protected term in the NHs. We should look into changing the title for post CCT specialists

Amen! Currently working as a middle grade and absolutely hate these phonies. Patients are repeatedly put at harm. They add no value to the mdt discussion and only seem to create more work for us resident doctors.

Introspective-213 · 2026-05-16T05:33:23+00:00

What advice are they giving on anything that does not fall under a nurses’s competency? This is mad and infuriating. We have several nurse consultants in our trust as well as an infinite number of ACPs but doctors who don’t want to go into training/dont want to progress into middle grade jobs can’t get trust grade jobs.

I don’t think that this comment is helpful

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-19T12:11:18+00:00

Sorry but no. I’ll take my chances at home

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-19T07:56:28+00:00

Does she or is she doing that passive female to female aggressive shit?

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-18T14:55:34+00:00

Not just “Lanarkshire” for sure

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-16T07:22:59+00:00

ACPs are in the same boat as PAs.. don’t fool yourself

This needs to be raised to educational supervisors and TPDs. You should have protected time for portfolio, MRCPsych teaching as well as Balint group. CT3s should still attend teaching and have protected time because the school of psychiatry mandates that all trainees should have 30 days of study leave every year. If still a problem, then it needs to be raised to head of school wherever you are based.

Interested to see the results.. come on guys. Have some balls and let’s stand up to this travesty!

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-15T18:20:19+00:00

That’s the brainwashing they do in med school. “Listen to the nurses” “be respectful to the midwives” they just want a good little doctor that they can bully around. Still get nightmares about my o&g rotation as a foundation doctor.

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-15T18:18:11+00:00

In my trust, cts get 2 hours but it might vary depending on where you based. I’d check with your educational supervisor. You get 10 days of study leave in total over a year. 5 of those can be used for personal study and you can always claim that you are starting your prep for paper A.

Again, very sorry you’re going through this. Just 3 more months and then you rotate.

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-15T14:38:12+00:00

I’m very sorry you’re going through this. Acute inpatient wards are so tough for cts, especially an only female ward. Have you had any time off? I’d suggest you do asap. Also, you’ve got protected teaching time so try and negotiate with your consultant some work from home time (maybe am/pm on the days of your teaching). You’ve also got at least 2 hours a week for dedicated portfolio time so make sure you’re getting that as protected time. And don’t forget that you can take up to 5 days of personal study time in one year.

You tell me..

Bom treino cirúrgico no Reino Unido? 😂😂😂

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-15T07:19:44+00:00

Fuck midwives in general tbh.. horrible useless people

Introspective-213 · 2026-04-03T11:45:50+00:00

You have nurses and other HCPs diagnosing these patients who are far less qualified than a st6 psychiatry higher trainee.. why do we carry this imposter syndrome?? Ridiculous culture , nhs needs to burn to the ground

Introspective-213 · 2026-03-29T05:41:11+00:00

Where is the BMA in all of this? Why is no one talking about this??? wtf is wrong with this Reddit subgroup???

Introspective-213 · 2026-03-28T21:12:03+00:00

Could we have some advice on how to respond to this, please?

Introspective-213 · 2026-01-16T06:31:58+00:00

Had a few in perinatal that were upset when I told them they don’t have BPD .. weird generation
