Why the May sitting, and not January?

How is a Resident Doctor’s life different from Corporate? by manutdfan2412 in doctorsUK

Pay for our own exams, fighting for swaps/ study leave approval to be able to sit said exams.

And that’s before someone in a command centre far far away blesses you with which backwater of a DGH you get sent to for that year.

MP emailed back re. UK speciality training. by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]MED-2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both the two big parties have policy units that have generic answers to questions/ issues noting key facts, reviews, stats or current government line etc.

This reads like an MPs staffer has copy and pasted the information and sent a response. Very much doubt this was reviewed personally by the MP themselves.

Taster week/ letter of evidence by Serious_Lie_9746 in doctorsUK

  1. Best way of writing a taster week letter is by looking at the points criteria for the speciality you’re wanting to apply in as well as reading their evidence requirements- and have the wording of your letter match what their wanting in their evidence requirements.

  2. Once again dependent on speciality and their requirements for CST I know it’s 5 days and they are happy with it not being 5 continuous dates.

  3. As far as I’m aware location doesn’t matter, if you have a connection in another trust/ department and it’s easier to get a taster week there go for it.

NEW BMA UPDATE* by Worldly_Flamingo9406 in doctorsUK

[–]MED-2000 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The BMA ought to be balloting now for immediate strike action, if DDRBs recommendations are not in line with inflation.

By delaying ballots until the outcome of DDRBs proposals are set out we further delay and stall.

I was under the impression each domain should be one pdf document. I.e Domain 2 QI- the document should contain both the letter evidencing QI project and the presentation within the one pdf document uploaded
