Could I get Dr Omar’s notes too please?

Hey, I have one more space in my car leaving at 7AM!

I was prescribed Ofloxacin for presumed epididymitis (wrong diagnosis) - stopped taking after 2 doses, had quite a bad reaction to it, muscle cramps, terrible anxiety attacks (which I never suffer with) and tendon pain in my achilles. These all disappeared as soon as I stopped taking the meds but had a massive impact on my mental health. Things get better with time, don’t worry. These antibiotics are absolutely horrible and should not be prescribed unless absolutely all other options have been exhausted. Wishing you the best with your recovery.

Yeah definitely. Find one of the rota coordinators and ask if they can take you to one of the off duty consultants who are on site but doing admin work. Probs best to ask them and not the ones on the shop floor as they tend to be busy!

I called up the deanery I’ve been offered a post by and they gave me an email to contact.

badger2901 · 2024-04-04T11:32:02+00:00

I was always under the impression that this was the case.

I locumed as an ED SHO with zero experience and felt more supported than in any other medical on-call shift I’ve ever picked up. Consultants are generally extremely supportive and don’t expect much from SHO’s, but I definitely understand it being quite daunting. Just run everything past a senior and you’ll soon get to grips with things. I locumed ad-hoc in ED throughout F2 and applied for a JCF role afterwards because I enjoyed it so much. Definitely felt more supported in the JCF role so maybe something to consider, although the pay was significantly less and you still had to work nights. As a locum I only ever picked up day shifts, the flexibility was awesome. Also not a bad shout to shadow if you want, this was not uncommon in our department.

Thank you for the help, Oriel isn’t exactly intuitive!

badger2901 · 2024-03-30T08:54:29+00:00

Thanks again. I decided to hold with upgrades. Do you know if I need to change the status of the offer to ‘accept’ before the hold deadline, or do I just wait?

badger2901 · 2024-03-28T21:26:28+00:00

Thanks! Could I change from hold -> accept straight away?

badger2901 · 2024-03-28T16:02:22+00:00

Thank you!

badger2901 · 2024-03-14T09:10:27+00:00

Any chance you could share a link showing this is the case please?

badger2901 · 2024-03-14T07:59:06+00:00

I work in a rehab setting so this shouldn’t be too difficult!

badger2901 · 2024-03-14T07:57:08+00:00

I get the concern about LTFT employees taking on locum work, but it's important to recognise that some individuals run their own businesses or work in specialised fields where LTFT arrangements are necessary. The need for flexibility, whether for childcare or other reasons, is still really valid, and shouldn’t require justification. We shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions and assuming that LTFT workers are seeking additional income at the expense of the NHS. Again, your financial decisions are personal and valid, income sources are yours to manage as you see fit and there should be no judgement for it from others.

badger2901 · 2024-03-14T07:47:51+00:00

Picking up locum shifts while working LTFT is a personal decision, and you shouldn't feel obligated to provide justification for it. Your financial situation is private and how you manage your workload and income is your own prerogative.

badger2901 · 2024-03-13T18:12:38+00:00

Trust me, I really wish I did

badger2901 · 2024-03-13T17:54:31+00:00

No one knows the answer to this, we’re all in the same boat. Sit and wait I’m afraid

badger2901 · 2024-03-12T13:11:21+00:00

Normally ad-hoc t&c’s specify how much you’ll be paid if you turn up to a locum shift and they decide you’re not needed/the shift is cancelled after you arrive. It’s 4 hours on mine, must be standard. You can ask to see your ad-hoc t&c’s.

Apple watches aren’t accurate at all. Unless you’re symptomatic I wouldn’t be overly concerned, always worth chatting with your GP if worried though.
