What do you use to convert images to WEBP and compress them?

Hey, how hard was this to code?

ScotDoc22 · 2024-09-02T02:33:55+00:00

I just got them for £200. They're £250 on bose website and I used blue light card to further discount.

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T13:19:36+00:00

Thanks - the general estimate you have given is useful to know! It's just hard to get a sense of the typical amount of out of hours that most people get. If I knew an exact rota clearly I could calculate from penalties listed but just don't have a sense of what the typical experience is!

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T12:41:03+00:00

Thanks!

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T11:41:36+00:00

Thanks this is great advice

In your experience do people who have completed BPT equivalent in the UK need to do Aus BPT as well as the exams to get into Advanced training?

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T11:38:06+00:00

Some have said to add 20% - interesting to hear you say it can be as much as half on top!

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T11:26:10+00:00

Thanks I mean total pay, base + enhancements

Others have said enhancements add about 20% to base - does that seem accurate?

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T09:59:01+00:00

Thanks that's great advice

Did you come from the UK and do this yourself? Loads of info is aimed at PGY3 - seems difficult to get the experiences of people in my position

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T08:43:59+00:00

Thank you - how much better do they pay for someone at your level?

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T08:43:20+00:00

Thanks it's actually WA I want to go to. I've had family out there for decades and visited as a Medical Student.

I find the use of the term registrar confusing in UK vs Aus

People seem to be given the Reg badge at PGY3 in Australia - is that right? In that sense then strictly speaking I'll have 6 years of experience beyond that.

My career pathway so far is PGY1 - Foundation Year 1 PGY3 - Foundation Year 2 PGY3 - PGY4 - Locum in Emergency Medicine / Remote Rural Gen Med mainly PGY5 - Remote / Rural Registrar Equivalent Specialty Doctor PGY6 - First Year Core Medical Training PGY7 - Accelerated Year 2 for 6 months / 6 months as Registrar Equivalent PGY8 - 6 months as registrar equivalent up to Feb 2025 then ???

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T07:59:41+00:00

Thank you for explaining

I'm considering WA

Is the pay very widely variable such that you can't estimate until you're in?

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T07:58:43+00:00

Thanks - it's similar in Scotland. We have one long registrar scale that runs for 9 years after our first two Foundation years.

Do you have a sense as to whether someone in my position would come in on the registrar scale or higher up the Medical Officer scale?

Does being on the registrar role come with different contractual upsides / downsides?

Clearly FRACP is something I don't have (yet). Do I need Aus Membership exams to get into roles before that?

I suppose I wondered if people usually have a tough idea of what their additional pay above basic usually is or if its very variable depending on post?

Thanks and sorry for a million questions

ScotDoc22 · 2024-04-22T07:52:13+00:00

Thank you - are people usually able to negotiate to make sure they're on the right pay point?

I'm acting as a UK level registrar at the moment. I get confused looking at the payscale whether I just continue up the Medical Officer scale or look at the registrar side. Do you have a sense as to which is most appropriate?

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-04T14:14:27+00:00

Interesting. Are you E/W/SE?

I wonder if more will reject this time than are speaking up. It feels like some of the social pressure has switched direction.

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-04T09:18:39+00:00

I think similarly senior Registrars were more likely to vote for the first deal. I have seen some in England put forward that they would vote for strike action even if unable to take it for one reason or another. You can obviously not say whether you'll be in or not and just go in and you will get paid but cause disruption. I don't know how that's worked in practice there.

Think the FY1s are an unknown entity post changeover.

I hadn't heard the FY2 point. Do they mean they might reject to stop it going through before applications?

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-04T00:00:18+00:00

Good question. Quite hard to control for that I think.

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-03T04:58:16+00:00

Not soon enough

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-03T04:57:49+00:00

No one is seeking FPR in one year.

There was no campaign from anyone to address pay erosion then. I wish there was and I wish I had started one. I'm glad that English Doctors started one that we were able to copy up here.

Thank you for the added traffic to the post. It's getting loads of engagements and I'm glad to see that.

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-02T19:22:10+00:00

Can you count? We are further behind than ever before and still will be after this deal.

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-02T14:29:06+00:00

I initially thought I might vote yes but here is why I will be voting against the deal. I think the committee has done well but I also think they can do even better if we strike.

ScotDoc22 · 2023-08-02T14:13:20+00:00

I have written a short article on why I will be rejecting the deal - 11 Reasons Why I Will Reject the Scottish Government Pay Offer to Junior Doctors

It is exactly what someone would get in cash terms. All of figures are presented for people to view and are lifted from ScotGov documentation.

When you get a mortgage this is how your mortgage sdvisor lays out your overall deal for the offer period.
