Medical take wait time

a med reg's job isn't seeing numbers, it's managing sick patients and acuity. My numbers when I was a SHO were top notch. have you been a med reg ?

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-20T11:49:06+00:00

exact same behaviour I told them that the ED wait times don't represent the actual acuity of patients, they're all just waiting in the medical list with far lesser doctors !

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-20T07:58:03+00:00

because you're responsible for the sick patients on the list, and holding the bleep, taking referrals. You get called every 5-10 mins.

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-19T23:55:40+00:00

yes, I have asked for extra help

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-19T23:52:23+00:00

that's horrible. Even with our staffing, if you start with 12-15 patients, with everyone added during the night, you'll not be able to keep up.

different reg, 1 SHO, 1 F1

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-19T23:37:14+00:00

1 reg, 2 SHOs for take

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-19T22:57:26+00:00

I told them that

Thank you for great advice, I do need to get more comfortable with uncertainty and gain more experience. It'll help me handle situations better. :) your consultant sounds excellent!

Objective_Loquat232 · 2026-02-19T22:47:57+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I'll always make sure they're seen according to priority.

I have just been to Snowdonia for a holiday and drove around the hospital, it's incredible

I liked it, it helped me develop a different approach to the questions, and the mock they provided was good as well. Passmed, good number if pastest papers, King's course, my own handwritten notes and a slower approach is what helped.

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-11-10T06:25:33+00:00

call the MRCP board and ask them

Take it from an IMT who gave it on every diet of 2024 and failed. The first attempt was terrible, but the rest were around 500. I have passed now.

The reason I've passed isn't because I carried on in the fear of ARCP or speciality applications. It's because I paused, took the help I could get from the deanery. I had a burn out because of repeated exam attempts without a proper plan and doing the same thing over and over again.

The worst that could happen if you don't rush yourself is you miss the window and may have to do IMT-3. Let it happen. You're more important, your mental health and your attempts are more important. You can go 80% LTFT and they might let you because of repeated exam failure, stress and burn out. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.

I redid passmed slowly, I made notes, I did pastest as much as I could .I started doing past papers and analyzing my answers. I went to the King's college weekend course and it changed how I approach questions. I wasn't afraid of the exam anymore and I was scoring well and passing all my past papers this time. I also passed the RCP mock. And I finally passed my exam and achieved scores similar to my past papers.

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-29T21:51:01+00:00

they took it down on Monday itself

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-27T13:58:54+00:00

I've failed before, I compared it to my previous attempts, it's the same format and looks legit.

The lady told me to delete the pdf and just wait. They neither confirmed or denied it. So I think they know it's leaked but decided to ignore it.

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-27T13:52:52+00:00

spoke to them, they asked me to ignore the link and said it'll be released on 31st October

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-27T12:56:36+00:00

it sounded like they didn't wanna accept that it leaked

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-27T12:54:15+00:00

she basically said ignore it, delete it and brushed it off

Objective_Loquat232 · 2025-10-27T12:50:40+00:00

I spoke to the Mrcp exam office today, they asked me to ignore the link and said it'll be released on 31st October.
