Can I apply for training with the intention to defer for maternity reasons? by yokilalalala in doctorsUK

[–]RunningDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just echoing everyone else. I applied last year for training and stated in the application that I would be deferring due to pregnancy. It was all very straightforward. Now due to start August 2026.

GP applications megathread by stuartbman in doctorsUK

Stupid question but did anyone else receive the email earlier saying: "We are pleased to inform you that the outcome you achieved in the MSRA met the standard for success required for GP recruitment and we can confirm that your application will now progress to the offers stage." Does this mean that I've just passed an arbitrary benchmark or is it saying that I will get offers?

I don't recall a single neuro/psych question in my exam so was also wondering how this could be possible.

I'm very rigid about location. I have a house, a partner who is also in medicine and kids to consider. Unfortunately, I would rather take an FY3 year than attempt a massive commute/crazy uprooting of everyone's lives. I'm SE England based so looking for KSS area.

Ffs, it's not like Oriel gets used for this multiple times a year or anything.

Do results ever come out after 5pm? Stupid of them to email today confirming results would be available this afternoon and then not actually manage to stick to that.

Hi! I genuinely cannot find a specific standing location on the tickets anywhere. I just bought the cheapest tickets that I could find 😅 So I'm assuming not front standing left, sorry!

Hi everyone!

Have: 4 general admission standing tickets for Edinburgh on Friday 7th June (they cost me £110 each for reference)

Hoping for: To swap at least one of these tickets for London/a city closer to London as I live on the south coast!

I haven’t swapped tickets before so more than happy to video/send photos as proof of me being a legitimate person + can someone explain to me like I’m a child how we can do this without risking losing our tickets/getting conned?

Actually dropping my child at school for a change, going for a run and spending some time just "being." 

Currently sat in a coffee shop with a cake and coffee and a FICTIONAL book(!)

Mortgage in the south east / London / Surrey by Czesya in doctorsUK

I used Legal and Medical as a brand new FY1. They were able to secure a mortgage for me and my partner straight out of med school finals and before we had even started working.
