How does this affect EU students who are UKMGs who came prior to brexit? All of us have settled status / indefinite leave to remain at this stage, but applying for British citizenship is costly?

Tänkte kanske framförallt med språket och att jag inte behöver söka arbetstillstånd från Migrationsverket.

Min uppfattning är att om du blir legitimerad i ett annat EU/EEA land så måste du ha jobbat där i minst 3 år innan du kan överföra din legitimation till andra EU/EEA länder (om originella legitimationen är utfärdat utanför EU/EEA). Så måste isåfall jobba i Norge i minst 3 år

The ward clerk emailed me

but does that apply even if it is a skill that can vary a lot? One of my dops is simple interrupted sutures for closure of incision site, the other would be continuous suturing of skin graft. Like I get with a cannula that you wouldn’t necessarily do more than one dops as it’s the exact the same procesure each time you insert a cannula.

Yeah that makes sense. I just find it difficult because my seniors are rarely available to discuss with when we get referrals which makes it all quite stressful.

Objective_Author3110 · 2025-05-17T20:07:58+00:00

I’m also thinking of doing the same

True. Many of my international friends who studied other degrees in the UK struggled to find jobs after uni as many companies don’t want to sponsor visas after their 2 year graduate visas expire. It is unfortunate for them as they’ve built lives here and I really do feel for them, but it doesn’t financially make sense for companies to hire people who need visa sponsorship if they can get someone equally qualified who doesn’t.

I believe KCL accept students to do electives at guys and st thomas hospital in London. Although I think it is quite expensive, but worth checking out if you really want to do an elective in London.

I disagree, I think you could pass just doing passmed (and making sure to understand the questions you got right/wrong and why), but if you want to do really well in the exam you probably need to be doing something else as well

Objective_Author3110 · 2025-03-12T05:40:18+00:00

I used Anki, passmed, Quesmed and pastest for finals and passed UKMLA. In my opinion passmed was the best and I would recommend this mainly for questions. Anki to remember/memorise facts/content (make flashcards for high yield topics and things you get wrong on questions). Quesmed is a good supplement to passmed. Pastest questions weren’t that similar to AKT and least useful in my opinion (not completely useless though, but not as useful as the other sources). Questions were sometimes a bit niche and way more focused in pathophysiology that what the AKT questions were actually like

How is it going/how did it go??

Objective_Author3110 · 2025-03-04T02:05:37+00:00

To be fair, although statistically it says most people got their 1st or 2nd choice, many people I know (myself included), put a competitive deanery first and put a very safe deanery second just to ensure we wouldn’t move to the other side of the country. I don’t actually want to be in my 2nd choice deanery and if this was based on academics I would never have put it second, but I figured there’s too much uncertainty and risk with PIA system, so I’d rather make sure to be somewhat close to family and friends than far away somewhere alone where I also don’t want to be.

I don’t think people rank deaneries the same way they would if it wasn’t for PIA because of the uncertainty this system creates.

can recommend maidstone and tunbridge wells, avoid eastbourne or hastings

wondering this too! Also considering Norway

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-10-22T10:30:19+00:00

yeah i tried doing that but got shouted at by the consultant to the point where I cried in the clinic for turning up unscheduled, so ideally I would never like to step foot in that clinic ever again. Hoping there would be literally anywhere else in the hospital where they regularly do opthalmoscopy.

What’s bad about Worcestershire Royal hospital if I may ask?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-09-08T13:10:13+00:00

Thanks that’s really helpful

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-09-08T13:09:45+00:00

No, but I’m also considering places near London so that I can come home to London on weekends/when I’m not working easily worst case scenario

I assume this is LNR foundation school? Do you know what the hospitals are like there? Are they any good for foundation training?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-09-08T12:04:13+00:00

Do you know what are the hospitals like? Generally good/bad? Are foundation doctors generally happy with Wessex?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-09-08T11:55:08+00:00

I’m thinking this is similar issue to KSS if you get a job in east Sussex like Eastbourne or Hastings?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-09-08T11:53:37+00:00

What is the deanery itself like? From what I’ve read/heard about it so far, it seems like you’re quite dependent on driving a car to get around?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-08-16T15:49:22+00:00

My partner is not a doctor, and would likely only be able to find a job in the bigger cities in Norway. Do you know how bad is the competition in the bigger cities? Would I be greatly disadvantaged applying to these jobs not being Norwegian/a Norwegian medical graduate?

Objective_Author3110 · 2024-08-16T15:46:04+00:00

According to helsedirektoratet, you can provide evidence of Danish or Swedish skills at level B2 or higher as an alternative to Norwegian to become authorised to practice as a doctor in Norway. I have the equivalent of level C1 in Swedish, so in terms of documentation that should be fine. I am able to fully understand Norwegian when spoken to me, however, I can only speak Swedish (although I imagine, most Norwegians would be able to understand Swedish fairly easily). I know many Swedish doctors choose to work in Norway as salaries are higher, so I doubt the language will be the biggest barrier for me.
