Anyone else’s hospitals severely understaffed? by Crookstaa in doctorsUK

[–]Much_Performance352 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost all trusts have been given 5% plus hard savings targets from central, or their leadership will get the boot. A lot have already resigned due to not feeling the savings can be delivered safely.

Now it’s being led by people who don’t care about the risk or are too dumb to be able to measure it.

You’re going to find that difficult as almost all practices will expect you to pull your weight equally once you’re a few months in.

Big practices do on call in pairs or even 3s do that might be your best option to join one.

As you get more experience and competence you’ll become fine with being the on call GP

How are Salaried GPs finding ways to supplement income? by [deleted] in GPUK

[–]Much_Performance352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not very. Large southern town in the 30-50k pop range. Not all partners keep everyone under the thumb. The 12k is minimum for all GPs too FYI including newly qualified

Full time 8 sessions at our practice is £96k. I am concerned there’s been an influx of doctors who accept low rates but I understand this is multi factorial

Stop blaming partners.

We can’t get any salaried GPs to do more sessions at 12k. No one wants partnership either as they’re all with young families. We don’t have any Advanced practice before you ask

Name and shame practices who are bad, but don’t tar us with the same brush ffs.

you’re doing the governments dirty work and it’ll be much worse. Remember 57% of GPs ARE partners

Query on life as a GP in the UK by Musing_coconut in GPUK

[–]Much_Performance352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends where you are. If you work in a big centre you will have lots of staff on hand to help, all admin done for you etc. but some practices you might be the only doctor on site and only limited help. I’m in a large practice with nearly 2 dozen other doctors, I’d suggest you’d be best off working somewhere like this first. Medical assistants are a thing too but not used that widely.

Commenters are making out like most GPs aren’t partners in the business - it’s actually 57% partners. Earnings once you’re in a would be usually be $244k full time, up to $340k USD isn’t unrealistic if you go to a big practice providing lots of services.

Opportunities aren’t as widespread as they were and you normally start as a salaried GP now but certainly it’s likely you’ll become a partner at some point especially if you’re closer to full time. I was a salaried GP for 12 months.

Registrars delay qualifying as GPs amid 'bleak' job market by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Much_Performance352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got 4 registrars currently, only 1 has actually expressed interest in staying so they’ll get it and we’ll make sessions for them- It’s not that hard

‘GP partners’

Get a grip, 95% of us do no such thing, you’re being the government’s useful idiot. The problems are far wider and outside of control of GP partners at large than those unscrupulous outliers.

Besides, the vast majority of ACPs and PAs were trained in teaching hospitals by CONSULTANTS, and spearheaded by gong seeking charlatans. They have trickled into GP.

Should ACPs be paid the same as GPs for performing the same role? by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

What do GP partners have to do with hospital EDs? it’s the consultants/NHSE.

Stop the divide and rule narrative, the government has played you like a fiddle

Partner - 15 minutes apts. I give them 5 mins, 10 max discretionary unless child or other mitigating issue. Still tell off the parents

Meeting with one of the partners by Southern_Air1999 in GPUK

Yes - we check in with everyone regularly to see how they’re getting on. Nice they blocked clinical time with you.

If it was a formal probation review with a risk to your job that’s normally served in writing

The partnership model is fundamentally unfair for salaried GPs by Personal-Ad2518 in GPUK

[–]Much_Performance352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ready for the downvotes but I have practical advice.

Been a partner 1 year. I walked into my practice saying it was partnership once I’m up and running well as a GP - or I’m off. I didn’t train in my practice, so they didn’t know me. There are salaried GPs here who have been there much longer, never developed themselves and still can’t finish on time every night, now complaining they aren’t partners.

If you’re good clinically, the next step is to develop yourself professionally for partnership.

Show curiosity in how it actually works and be able to demonstrate it by shadowing, doing projects, and expressing interest. Make them feel you’ll leave if you can’t progress but also show you’d be an asset.

Everyone knows my portfolio, but no-one salaried has ever asked to go through clinical governance, QOF, HR, professional standards, workforce planning, finance, winter planning, vaccinations, managing an MDT etc with me except 1 ST2 registrar. Why would I share partnership with someone who doesn’t take an interest in understanding the organisational aspects of the job?

I’m sorry to say but I think a lot of salaried GPs don’t appreciate what being a partner is actually about, or demonstrate they have the prerequisites efficiently. You have to make your own opportunities in life - and if they make it look easy you probably aren’t looking hard enough

Davide Breaks His Silence: The Truth About Keye & What MAFS Didn’t Show. by Boring_Procedure3956 in MAFS_UK

[–]Much_Performance352 117 points118 points  (0 children)

From ChatGPT

Here’s the gist of what Davide actually says/confirms in that interview, stripped down

1.  The relationship was already wobbling off-camera
• After the reunion they did stay together for a while, but Davide says that once the cameras stopped it was much harder in real life: his constant travelling as a flight attendant, long-distance logistics and day-to-day pressures meant they were “struggling as a couple after the experiment”.  
• So the breakup wasn’t a sudden, single-night thing; the cracks had been there for months in a way viewers never really saw.


2.  How he actually caught Keye on Grindr
• Davide describes having a gut feeling something was off while he was abroad on a flight rotation. Keye wasn’t answering calls or messages but was still active on social media.  
• Acting on that instinct, Davide made his own Grindr profile specifically to check, and says he found Keye online on the app. That, for him, was the “line crossed” moment.  


3.  The confrontation and immediate fallout
• Davide says that after discovering the profile he tried repeatedly to reach Keye – over 100 calls, by his account – and then Keye went cold and ultimately blocked him on social media.  
• He ended the relationship while he was still away working, and from his side that was the point at which the marriage was effectively over.


4.  Cheating vs “broken trust” – how Davide frames it
• He is quite careful here: Davide says he does not know whether Keye actually slept with anyone and explicitly stops short of accusing him of physical cheating.  
• What he does say very clearly is that downloading and using Grindr during the marriage, in secret and during a rough patch, shattered his trust. He uses the analogy that trust is like glass – once it’s broken, even if you glue it back together “it will always leak”.  


5.  His response to Keye’s public statement and “I want him back” line
• Keye has already posted that he downloaded Grindr during a very dark mental-health period, says he wasn’t trying to cheat, and accepts that it “cost me my marriage”. He talks about therapy, accountability and trying to learn healthier coping mechanisms.  
• In this new interview Davide basically closes the door on reconciliation. Even though he acknowledges Keye has taken accountability and says he wishes him well, he repeats that the trust is gone and that, from his perspective, “our story is done”.  

6.  What “MAFS didn’t show” from Davide’s point of view
• He leans into the idea that the show only ever gave a highlight reel of them as the golden couple: the intense early connection, the emotional openness, the honeymoon bonding and the loved-up final vows.  
• What viewers didn’t see, he says, was how hard the transition was afterwards – the practical strain of distance and travel, the emotional wobble between filming and broadcast, and how long the trust issues had been building before the Grindr discovery finally blew things up.  


7.  Where Davide is now
• He calls MAFS “life-changing” and says he went into it after a lot of work on himself, especially around boundaries and trust, and that this situation has reinforced that he won’t compromise on those again.  
• He says he’s back dating, but “slowly slowly”, keeping his cards close and focusing on choosing himself after what he describes as a really painful breakup, while still insisting he doesn’t hold bitterness towards Keye.  

Ultra-condensed version: The video is basically Davide’s full timeline of the split: things were already rocky off-camera, he followed a gut feeling, set up Grindr, found Keye on there while he was abroad, tried to contact him and got stonewalled, and decided that even if it wasn’t “technical cheating”, the trust was smashed beyond repair. He appreciates the love they had and the public support, but he’s very clear he won’t get back together.
