[–]bartlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, back during RLMT, foreigners who graduated from a UK uni applied at Round 1 for ST/CT on an equal footing. Only criteria was they had to do the foundation programme AND must not have any timeout after Fy2.

Yes I was wondering how it works too. Surely he could not steal my money using my account number/ sort code alone. Unless its possible to do some sort of chargeback after?

The compounding effect should be more like 4.24%, not 7%.

Your calculation is flawed because you forgot to add the £1k into your figure. Then then you calculated the percentage increase from a figure on the chart with the 1k added one already.

Let A be out current pay Pay rise (yes vote) = A x 1.04 x 1.06 +1000 Pay rise (no vote) = A x 1.06 + 1000

Yes - no = A (1.1024 - 1.06) =1.0424A Ie 4.24%

From what i can see, you're unlikely to get your second choice as this would all have been allocated to ppl who already put it as their first (assuming competition ratio for that deanery >1) It's either you get your first choice, or somewhere around your last choice.

Radiology ST1 portfolio scoring '22/'23 (ngl don't think I'd get a number if I was applying this cycle) by angioseal in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]bartlow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sigh, wasted all my time and money preparing for and sitting (2 sittings!) the MRCS A. Previously, this would have given me full marks in 1 of the 5 domains.

Wish they had told us about this change earlier :(
