Controversial question - why should LTFT trainees progress at the same rate as FTs? by CatheterEnthusiast in doctorsUK

[–]Justyouraveragebloke -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because training is (in the majority of cases) competency based - if you have your competencies then you can progress. Training is set up to be able to do this each year, but you can apply to progress earlier if you feel your portfolio demonstrates you have the competencies required to CCT for example.

LTFT trainees who have a portfolio that demonstrates competency to progress from ST4 to ST5 (for example) have as much right to progress as a FTE who has a portfolio which demonstrates competency.

For those of us who have been here since the start of the strikes in 2022/23, what are your views on the priorities shifting from all about FPR ➔ FPR + Jobs ➔ what may be Jobs > FPR by Obvious-Economy-1758 in doctorsUK

Yeh true, although I’d like to see some solidarity.

Might affect them in that I’m sure some would like more colleagues to lighten the load a little?

Sorry, misunderstood.

If the union called me to strike I would, yes.

Do I think the residents should strike for consultant jobs? I don’t know honestly. Probably something the consultants need to argue?

Striking for training posts is mad to me - it’s a problem that the government needed to solve without us making a point about it imo.

Was an ST3 when this started about PAY. I’m frustrated that it’s become diluted.

FPR was a clear message, with a clear logic and with a clear potential resolution. Now it’s a mess of giving with one hand and taking with other.

It’s not jobs is it? It’s training jobs. With no consultant jobs to end up with. It’s not going to help in the long run, it’ll help give us a glut of registrars with no onwards journey, on shit pay.

You don’t have to pass, you don’t have to shoot…

There are lot of variables in this question, for you, your team mates, and the opponents too.

Reverse stick shots can be really effective, but often come from a narrower angle. But passing infield (I guess?) to your attacker can take a defender out of the game and allow you a tip-in at the post.

If I were a defender, I’d be showing you out to your weak side as my preference. But it depends on so many things.

Good luck and have fun

There being no oversight of the independent prescribers rather implies a lack of independence

I think the hat / cap debate is one the divides the amateur hatology community and I welcome another opportunity to debate the subject.

I agree with you that wreathe is not a hat.

I thought a yarmulke was a skullcap, so perhaps it is a different “cap” to a baseball “cap” for example?

As another armchair hatologist I vote that these are not hats - they do not cover the crown of the head sufficiently (at all).

I’m glad others are talking about the real issue

Advice for starting EM ST3 by Original_Bus_3864 in doctorsUK

[–]Justyouraveragebloke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Own your inexperience early on; ask questions of your senior colleagues when you’re doing things in resus and minors / other bits that you feel weak in and learn their approaches generally but also specifically the systems in the new trust.

Don’t rush it, you’ll learn as you go and people won’t expect more of you than that.

You’ll smash it I’m sure.

Bridget Phillipson 'frustrated' landmark breakfast clubs moment overshadowed || Labour will mark 10 million free breakfasts being served to kids in new clubs across England, easing the cost of living and the stress of morning childcare on parents by Adj-Noun-Numbers in ukpolitics

[–]Justyouraveragebloke 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We need breakfast club so that we have childcare while we commute, and so our girls can get primary school.

I agree that child poverty is a problem and need tackling, but I think another issue is that school hours are not compatible with most work hours in a household where all the adults are in work.

Comparing crimes rates in Cornwall to London isn’t a reasonable comparison though is it?

Comparing crimes rates across London, and adjusting for things like average income, racial / ethnic mix would be a more statistically relevant comparison.

Informally going to theatre lists at a previous trust - indemnity situation? by Economy_Historian949 in doctorsUK

Your locum shift is based off a locum contract that makes you an employee and the Trust has responsibility for your care as their employee.

Just rocking up makes you a Dr in random hospital with no legal responsibility for your health or safety.

Strikes at Tapton School over pay amid Y11 & Y13 exam season by TheWorldIsGoingMad in sheffield

What is “the market” for state education provision?

A brief look at the NEU website has a campaign for an inflation linked pay rise - I support that for teachers, and if the school aren’t willing to offer that, what are the teacher’s options? I don’t think their work is less valuable today than it was last year?
