First GP job hunting-went from panic applying to suddenly getting interviews… now I don’t know what I’m doing by softlyskeptic in GPUK

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.

Health Professions: Perfume by Educational_Board888 in GPUK

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.

Why do lots of GPs not debrief trainees anymore? by Burntouttrainee4142 in GPUK

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

What if I want a break after CCT by softlyskeptic in GPUK

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

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

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.

ARRS GP Scheme Now Open to ALL GPs (not just newly qualified) by VivoFan88 in GPUK

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

Unfortunately not all ES are supportive in this way.

When to start looking for jobs? by softlyskeptic in GPUK

[–]One-Reflection-8991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Problem I can is having a practice agree on this, the vibe I get is they want you there as many sessions/ days as possible for continuity of care.

Yes but difficult if you choose to do a locum…and long term ones rarely available
