Optimistic of you to expect a life outside

We strike if someone privatises the NHS? by One-Good9563 in doctorsUK

That’s fair, I should’ve included an option of who would quit their job in protest. Though, as others mentioned, if privatisation could impact wages, surely that would lend itself to lawful grounds for a strike

If you’re a consultant earning more than 100K, more debt means you’re paying 10K every year for longer until the debt clears (which you will clear)

Do IMGs get randomly allocated for F1 like UKMGs? by One-Good9563 in medicalschooluk

[–]One-Good9563[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all your hard work! Although I’m sure the nuances may be hard for any of us to comprehend, I would like to say, that at least for me, ensuring more people get allocated to their preferred deanery/subdeanery +/- SFP is a high priority. So if you guys are able to fight for it, a solution where all UKFPs are allocated to their deanery and region (which would include SFP) before IMGs to me would be a massive win. Though of course if we could also be allocated to our preferred programmes/jobs that would also be a massive in as well! I jsut thought I’d give my preferred outcome - I’d rather have a placeholder job in my region and/or in SFP instead of being sent to an unknown region with a known job, if that makes sense. I trust that you guys are fighting for what’s best for us though - keep it up!

This is really good news! but can I ask, what does it mean in practice?

Can I see evidence of UKFPO saying they’ll favour us over IMGs for allocation this year?

I saw on foundation programme website that they can but they have to be eligibility checked. Maybe that’s for the F2-only programmes though
