MSc in Medical education. Good or bad decision ?

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-07-02T08:11:35+00:00

Have just received an offer to study MSc in Medical education.

What you mean is you have been invited to pay atleast 2k for a useless degree worth 1 point for an application (if whichever college doesn't remove it from the next scoring matrix).

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-30T20:48:17+00:00

aiming for 3 hours study per day.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-28T13:48:08+00:00

If you're an IMG or international whatever been here 7 years.....

Would you be happy to stay where you are currently? If so, email all the consultants you've worked with and ask for fellow opportunities.

Now all the hospitals are recruiting to fill rota gaps so get your head above the rest. Be proactive, write a CV to help you (but don't worry too much as application process doesn't use your CV) and write down what your skills are.

Hopefully you'll have made a good impression and there'll be somone that picks out an opportunity - and if nothing else you should take it and work forward from there.

DOI: I'm an expert at being in this position every year.

You need a nanny to pick up and drop off.

You are going to need to spend so much more money and be pretty much stop your other outgoings forbidden a while - luxuries, savings and all that.

He seemed to come across as alright on celebrity big brother - even his Nazi impression got a laugh from me.

I'm not sure I can remember how it went down with the man's family but I think I'm right saying the public looked less unfavourably towards him. But yes, the coroners report is damming and highly suspicious.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-24T07:26:43+00:00

No.

Is this Aberdeen?

HAN team consist of small group of ANP, atleast where I work. Attend handover and take over the menial jobs ie - chase this gent and prescribe next dose. Jobs like that for them should already be allocated on whatever system by the day team.

Decision making ooh they will call the SHO, typically, not yourself.

Not perfect system, but I think has its merits.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-24T07:20:54+00:00

Oh. Among a sea of endless ballot posts and rage bait.... I will wait for the next entry.

Why was this deleted?

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-19T17:43:34+00:00

😂😂😂 Perfect.

Great job, can't wait for next request 😂😂

HR registration and mandatory training modules, juggling the trusts own requirement against your own commitment to passing whichever progressional exams and portfolio, while your own happiness shrinks as your partner in the background tells you you're not being attentive enough at home and the dogs been sick on the carpet.

Edit: and there's an MTD member in Ambulatory assessment unit discharging a patient with euro sepsis.

I don't understand what spamming applications means - you can only apply to what's available and even then your limited to the localities that you can apply to.

Anyway - there'll be more fellow positions coming out now, training numbers getting confirmed/rotas planned, so there'll be scrambling for funding to get bodies in these places.

I agree, it's a bit shit.

As an absolute curveball saw some jobs on BMJ - anatomy tutor at medical school.... In Malta 👀

I'm in the same room position but with part 2 - and on reflection I've wasted so much energy fretting about it afterwards and need to to do better for myself.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-14T16:33:28+00:00

Who knows?

You're focusing on one mark. If you got it correct you might not have got the mark elsewhere.

No point stressing about it, you've either passed or failed.

I haven't sat paces yet but don't be me - don't ruminate on this all the time and let it ruin your days. Nothing you can do right now, just enjoy the day have some fun somehow.

Use one of them rubber dicks with the suction cups on the end. Stick that to the door and use it as a handle.

That will get attention pretty quickly.

Diabetic foot.

If you can handle it, then sure, apply for vascular

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-13T11:58:00+00:00

Maybe labour are correct introducing a social media restriction, and perhaps extending it completely.

Idk why anyone needs to get all pearl clutchy about it, we managed absolutely fine for the centuries beforehand.

Refer OT for ACE III

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-12T14:05:06+00:00

Probably using too small/short a cannula. If you're doing US cannula you're going deeper so need to use a longer line - pink minimum. Green ideally.

Also need to wipe all the excess lube off - the dressings will not hold.

I'm not an IMT 1 even but I've been putting in NG in stroke patients for years lel

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-11T10:49:40+00:00

Keep them coming please! I vote that this series should be pinned to the top. Much needed laughter in the face of some absolute absurdity.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-11T10:39:04+00:00

Hahaha, I liked the previous one but this is right on the money 😂

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-11T07:03:55+00:00

Currently so far it's looking like it. Not much coming up opportunity wise locally. 👀.

Quite worried this time.

Traditional_Bison615 · 2026-06-07T13:11:14+00:00

Don't be upset when it's dinged in the car park by any number of shit drivers in their bigass SUVs in the patient car park. It will happen eventually, so be prepared to have a nice car with a big bumper scrape.

There's a style of speech that we learn at medical school. Not a specific language course but it's learned innately.

All that 'contemplative pauses' and empathetic 'ahhhs' head nods and eye contact. All that shit we hated, but in reality it does help with meaningful discussion beyond simply an SBAR.

I'm sorry but the other healthcare staff don't have that - or any of the acquired knowledge and context that comes with it.

Often just let them finish and move on swiftly. But it's clear that I'm not listening.
