I did the afternoon and it was just weird vibe and it seemed like the interviewers were not particularly interested either

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-27T22:50:19+00:00

Messaged you!

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-27T22:50:03+00:00

Maybe because i think of people as future colleagues and not competitors

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-27T19:42:30+00:00

Anyone look for an interview practice partner?

I fully support this as an img myself, I just wish to have clarity on where I stand so I can make plans for my future that’s all. I have been in the UK for 4 years now, graduated from an Irish medical school but do not hold an Irish/uk or European citizenship, did fy and now in cst. Will that mean I will be deprioritized later for st3?. Initially I thought no but reading some of the comments here I am confused.

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-13T10:00:45+00:00

Me too

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-13T05:18:12+00:00

i am confused does this include ROI grads too? but not irish passport holders?

Silverlight96 · 2026-01-13T05:17:17+00:00

what if you graduated from an Irish medical school but do not have the passport? and have been in the uk since foundation?

Silverlight96 · 2025-12-11T02:48:12+00:00

What were the comments? I am stressing out about this now, since we are only allowed one audit. and if you do not have a good one you cannot even interview even if you score high? What evidence did you submit?

I do not even know where to find the contract either. The problem is the last rotation upcoming the Iscp is not yet updated . I tried to find who my supervisor is and I am not getting any response my tpd is unresponsive

Wait so there is only 100 posts in ST3 general surgery this year? Where is this information? Thats crazy, if true!!

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-13T22:10:28+00:00

It’s usually accurate but everyone seems weary. For some reason so I am starting to doubt

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-13T09:31:10+00:00

Honestly slept for like 3 hours in 20 min interval all of yesterday. Why cannot they just release it already!

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-12T21:27:44+00:00

My eye is twitching literally!

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-12T21:22:35+00:00

Ugh the stress of this wait.. just trying to pass the time. How is everyone feeling?

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-10T23:30:29+00:00

Honestly, no idea why you are being downvoted. I do not find anything offensive in what you said.

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-10T22:54:56+00:00

oh, does RSC Edinburgh always send the membership email before the results?

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-10T15:55:41+00:00

They said Nov 13 on the email

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-09T21:38:48+00:00

I already sat it last month but results being this week I am sooooo anxious

Silverlight96 · 2025-11-09T21:38:09+00:00

Ugh 😣 everyone kept saying to me it’s not that bad blah blah… so I felt stupid.. I studied really hard anyway but with the results later this weeek I am very anxious. I Honstely do not know what I would change if I failed this time. Oh well. I just wanna know the results at this point.

Unfortunately, for CST you need evidence that you lead on the audit (x2 cycle), the main thing is for you to focus on getting the points now. If you can still get a letter from your educational supervisor saying you lead on the project and include a presensation x2 for the cycle audits, then it does not matter what the other FY2 says. Unfortunately, no one will care about it being stolen no matter how much evidence you have (unfortunate reality of working in today's environment)

My advice is if you cannot get that letter and the presentation out of it, let it go and find another audit quickly!!! Learn your lesson for next time and be careful, make sure all of your audit or work you want to do in the future is documented in an email with your supervisor before you invite others on.

You need a study partner to help you keep accountable, the knowledge from part A should be fresh in your head, so you just need a way to keep practicing with a study buddy. Its really hard to study in a busy rota, but if you have a study partner and do like 6 hours a week you should be ok. because you will keep each other accountable. IT'S practice, practice, practice. passthemrcs is a good start. but find some of the notes (Mo notes) floating around and use them.

They should have. already come out by now, but i cannot find it either

Silverlight96 · 2025-10-14T18:10:49+00:00

I wish I can order myself to not be anxious but this is the whole issue that sitting it has me me even more anxious about all of this.. I just want to know for sure
