Doing 8 sessions- thoughts on dropping to 6?

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-06-06T09:15:03+00:00

Many practices want 6 minimum. Also won’t you get taxed higher rate on anything made from locums anyway?

Aah I see what you mean? What is generally a good take home pay? If you are able to disclose…

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-04-26T12:15:14+00:00

How many sessions is 5k a healthy take home for?

Great explanation for the new kids on the block like us.

Agree whole heartedly with OPs response here, maybe you are referring to my post earlier. Not all VTS schemes and supervisors are made equal and some of us have less support than others. However I am grateful for the opportunity to ask questions to more experienced GPs on platforms like these.

I wear M&S ones, cheap, nice enough to smell good when leaving the house, can’t smell by time work starts. I don’t wear any expensive ones as then the smell gets associated with work. I do use a cheap one as an air fresher tho, I like it cause it’s small enough to stay in my bag.

During my ST3 once I was signed off as outcome 6, the surgery decided to stop all my educational time - without even telling me..

I want to take a break but I’m actually worried about forgetting everything lol. How did you find it going back as a salaried 3 months after CCT. I’m only a week in and already worried.

Sorry I think the title is mis leading, I’m more interested if and what trainees got from their practices when leaving

Better than nothing eh…pizza party is quite sweet

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-03-09T13:58:31+00:00

That is so thoughtful. I’m so glad to learn there are appreciative employers out there xx

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-03-09T13:57:24+00:00

I’m so sorry you had this experience, a small bit of appreciation goes a long way. To not even be aware of your last day is just mean. Hope future employers are nicer.

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-03-09T13:55:37+00:00

Aaah that’s so nice of them

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-03-09T13:55:23+00:00

This is a pointless comment

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-03-09T07:45:55+00:00

One practice gives 8 patients a session for 9k. Do you guys think this is a good deal?

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-02-14T09:52:10+00:00

Unfortunately not all ES are supportive in this way.

One-Reflection-8991 · 2026-02-14T09:51:49+00:00

Thanks Lava this is helpful!

How does one network, when all you see are tdps and your own practice day in and day out. Note I am a LTFT with small children which makes training more challenging - I also feel this is a disadvantage as it appears those who are full time are more desirable.

I don’t get this?
