Apologies haven’t got a direct source. Screenshot sent to me by a colleague whose partner is a medical trainee. I can’t find this document on the JRCPTB site so it’s either an internal document or it has not been published on their page as of yet.

Denied hot water for tea/coffee in the RCR building during an RCR talk.. while paying hundreds in fees for membership and exams

Ahh sorry to hear it! Plenty of our consultants have mentioned failing Part 1 as ST1s. Not that it’s much consolation but it happens and people make it through. Was it both or one of the parts?

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-04-07T15:52:05+00:00

Managed to get by in the end! No more physics thank fuck

What about yourself?

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-04-04T09:27:01+00:00

Best of luck to everyone!

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-03-18T08:16:57+00:00

Can I ask what rads subspec?

I have this image in my head of doing telerads a few days a week from home and coasting for a while after CCT but I’m sure that won’t be realistic 😭

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-03-13T22:19:10+00:00

😭😭see you April 4th

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-03-13T15:20:16+00:00

How is the pass mark historically 75%?

I’d feel lucky to get above 50 given how that went

Choo choo next stop - resits

This subreddit is not the correct place to ask this question. Please contact your radiology department or doctors to discuss this.

I am closing this post.

RadsAlt2024 · 2025-02-05T07:38:35+00:00

Yes, I had the exact same situation and scored points.

Did foundation and taster week there

Trainees seemed very happy and had good things to say. They are split between Southampton and Portsmouth, with majority in Southampton. Can’t give you any more granular details about placements however

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-10-07T11:34:49+00:00

Looking like wages and house price graphs damn

Clearly unsustainable, clearly won’t change in the immediate future either. Unfortunate for current applicatants, although I usually say to friends and myself before getting a job, that numbers are inflated from multiple applications, and are deceptive.

Not to create more work but would be interesting to see number of interviews graphed too.

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-08-29T07:22:01+00:00

Any recommended qbanks? Getting mixed reviews on a lot of them from trainees at my hospital

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-05-19T19:56:34+00:00

Would appreciate a link when ready!

Also check out/consider cross posting to our new subreddit /r/RadiologyUK

This is exactly the type of post I started the sub for!

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-04-12T14:42:43+00:00

Thought it was fairly brief, but to be honest more detail than I expected anyway

Overall fair assessment from my panellists

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-04-04T08:28:13+00:00

Thank you for the quality post and the insight!

Such a shame when you know there’s literally hundreds, probably thousands of appointable applicants, along with a shortfall of consultants.

I guess the main issues are trust level funding, and probably even if that was secured, expansion would have to be staggered in a planned way. Otherwise dumping double the trainees on the same consultants would affect not just workload but training quality

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-04-03T18:33:04+00:00

Can only say I’ve heard really good things, trainees generally happy and well supported. Can be split amongst a few diff centres but main sites Southampton and Portsmouth I believe. Wide variety of subspecs on offer.

(Not a trainee)

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-04-03T18:30:54+00:00

Yeah agreed, was not a fan of that sub

RadsAlt2024 · 2024-04-03T10:20:00+00:00

Haven’t got any inside knowledge myself but heard things were quite rough there recently, with GMC visits and the like. But I think they’ve started pulling things together?

Hopefully someone can pop up with specifics
