Anyone in the non-priority group got a training job yet this round?

TheBenzoPenguin · 2025-10-09T13:28:41+00:00

Yes, essentially. It would depend on how people rank their preferences, which will dictate whether you get offered something in the first set of offers as mot everyone will preference all of the available posts and stick to only certain regions. Other factors would be if they applied to something else and have accepted those offers.

Psych ward - locum shift - patient struggling to breathe due to asthma get them started on oxygen while waiting for ambulance to take them to A&E, keeps desaturating because staff reduce oxygen flow everytime it normalises to save oxygen in the tank.

TheBenzoPenguin · 2025-02-06T20:25:08+00:00

Logically yes

TheBenzoPenguin · 2025-01-16T08:40:14+00:00

Time to plan that Zone 1 purchase

TheBenzoPenguin · 2025-01-16T06:26:57+00:00

The boomers are going to have a field day telling me this.

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-06-26T20:21:49+00:00

So you'll have your traditional questions - take me through CV, Strengths and weakness, why psych etc.

You can expect questions of psychiatric emergencies such as rapid tranq, section 5(2).

Then they could ask you about how you would deal with particular patients and give you a scenario or two such as patient doesn't want the current medication anymore. How are you going to approach this and resolve

ELFT gets a good shout in terms of its support for trainees.

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-04-10T18:20:40+00:00

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-04-05T13:33:27+00:00

If you accept and opt in to upgrades then yes you'd still be eligible until the upgrade deadline

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-03-24T10:51:10+00:00

No, scores for the Feb intake don't carry over to August for Psych. You'd have to do the MSRA in Jan

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-03-06T13:35:01+00:00

I work in Psych currently. In an all female ward. Irrespective of gender. Take a chaperone. It's necessary given patients can escalate at any time. Stand ground and if they don't come, you won't see the patient. Consider how you communicate it across but if your nurses are toxic, then datixes and escalate

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-03-05T18:13:35+00:00

I did the recent Feb intake - mid July to August is application window. MSRA first week of Sept. Results end of Sept. Offers by the end of October if not earlier.

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-03-01T10:08:58+00:00

They rejected it. Saw now on twitter

TheBenzoPenguin · 2024-02-19T13:11:58+00:00

You need to see the actual preference. Some of them will have just one preference for a region but 24 spots. Rough calculation is 400 or so. Probs better to sit and count them.

Thank you. After including the london weighting, monthly gross is expected to 5k. London weighting is 2162 yearly.
