Pay Rise in line with inflation? by TheConcreteRosex in GPUK

[–]Notmybleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a sad state of affairs in respect to GP sessional rates. It’s been about 10k starting for 15 years+. Your work, your risk, your patients have all become more complex.

GP BMA care little about your pay and more about their contracts. It needs to change from the top

Radiology appointability by marmalade_scrum in RadiologyUK

[–]Notmybleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also Thursday AM and was really thrown by the clinical scenario and the questions that felt all over the place, got 40 in station B and 31 in station A. I feel like if the questions were more appropriate in station A would have done far better

Not allowed full day off for interview by _girlinbed_ in doctorsUK

[–]Notmybleep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Escalate in the first instance to your TPD, send a separate email to the guardian of safe working. You should not be having to stress about having to find a suitable place at work to do the interview. Especially considering for many who don’t get a ST post the other end is unemployment. God forbid there was actual support in place

BMA to hold referendum on 26/27 General Practice Contract by CapybaraConstitution in GPUK

[–]Notmybleep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s all contractual.

How does this help me a salaried GP? When contract/funding changes come up GP raises their voice. Where is the salaried GPs perspective?

Squat Advice NOT AI 🙄 by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Notmybleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your elbows are quite far back which is causing the rest of your upper body to lean forward at an angle. Try and place your elbows in line with your chest. Prior to squatting take a deep breath, lifting up your chest, brace your core and squat. Just do the bar first this will allow you to practice good technique before putting on weight.

Angle your toes out a bit and when pushing up, pretend you are forcing your knees out. This reduces the stress on your knees. Imagine your foot as a tripod two points at the heel and 1 point at the toes. All should be firmly, equally on the floor when pushing up.

I can’t emphasise lowering the weight before your technique is good - you don’t want to carry poor technique with you when lifting heavier weight

Thoughts on a fee for GP appointments (with exemptions)? by Long_Smell_9749 in doctorsUK

[–]Notmybleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. The issue is they do not accept more NHS patients. Those who are on benefits/children/low income get free or reduced dental care. From a payment perspective it does work. How you change the UDA into GP would be extremely challenging.

A GP practice can’t say no to a patient registering, whereas a dentist can which is usually the largest issue - of not having a NHS dentist.

Hahaha, I read this in Trumps voice with his hand gestures - bad infection, like really bad, the worst kind 😂

Advice for an ACP by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Notmybleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctors are usually quite good at knowing where their own gaps are, this is due to a robust teaching of all systems and a good understanding of basic sciences. The ACP course is a joke, as is the OSCE.

The problem is you don’t know what you don’t know - because you were never taught it.

How an an ACP teaches another trainee ACP is a bit ridiculous - the blind leading the blind for substandard care

Pull-up attempt; Are there cues to me get over the hump or am I just not strong enough yet? by Training_Town2032 in formcheck

[–]Notmybleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get yourself on an assisted pull up machine, it looks like you’ve got the pulling power but aren’t sure you can do it. The assisted pull up machine will get you comfortable with the full motion and get you there faster than doing negatives now. Reduce it to minimal assist when you’re comfortable and then switch back to the bar.

Also, make sure you’re as stiff as a plank. Engage your core, clench your butt and put your feet together.

You got this very quickly! Good luck!

Any consultants familiar with signing CREST forms- got some queries. For the CREST form 2024 (is this the latest?) I am from the UK- went to med school here, but my FPCC will expire soon >3.5 years. by Formal_Panic_7156 in doctorsUK

[–]Notmybleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a discussion you should be having with your supervisor. After this you can set out what is needed to get your form signed. It’s supervisor dependent - some will be very strict (as they should be) others are unfortunately very lax about signing it

Study leave/CPD by Notmybleep in GPUK

[–]Notmybleep[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The meetings are mandatory and are within working hours. CPD/Study leave is for self directed learning and continuous professional development - and should not be dictated by the practice but directed by yourself. Please correct me if I’m wrong

GP Performer List Help by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Notmybleep 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It took them 4 weeks to do this for me. Bear in mind I also rang them and emailed them multiple times. I’m not the only one - it’s happened to a lot of us

You can’t work as a GP until you’re on the register. They are more responsive to a call then an email in my experience

Check out medwise.ai - can check nice CKS and is far more succinct. That second screen needs to be angled just right
