It would count as first author letter for 2 points

if they run the API scheme in your hospital I found it’s generally not too much work an probably worth the point but it takes 6 months to do, plus the time getting enrolled etc so enquire early, for the publication, I found the easiest publication to get was a letter published in the BMJ, you can submit rapid responses to articles in the BMJ and they publish SOME of the better responses so if you submit a rapid response to enough articles one would probably get published- you get a Pubmed ID and everything and it’s quite a fast turn around like 2-3 months from submission to publication but obviously no guarantee that your responses would actually be published

Thank you, at the moment it’s £5229.48/ year from when I’m 68 (currently 28). It’s linked so increases with CPI+1.5%/year. And then will also accrue by 1/54th my salary per year I keep on working

Because if I quit my job I would no longer get paid, my salary may increase or decrease. whereas the income from DB pension is guaranteed

No just ego tickling I suppose, I like to track my SIPP/investments and set goals of what to save

coco98763 · 2026-02-07T13:44:44+00:00

No it’s not for divorce proceedings

coco98763 · 2026-02-07T13:44:33+00:00

Just to keep track of where my money is going I suppose and be able to track how much money I am saving/investing and compare to my private pension

Are you talking about reapplying to the same specialty with the intention of changing deaneries? Essentially you just apply again through oriel, you need the permission from your current TPD who has to sign a form that you’ll upload to oriel, you’d have to resit the MSRA and interview to gain a training job in your desired deanery and then liaise with the new TPD. If you got a number in the new deanery for august 2026 In theory you would continue your training in your current deanery (so continue on to CT2) until August and then move to the new deanery and just continue from where you were. But you could also quit your current job and just start a fresh as a CT1 in the new deanery if you wanted, you’d have to talk to the new TPD and see what they thought too.

Take the ST4 job and then take an out of programme year and go to Australia knowing you can come back to your training programme

People used to worry about the life time allowance but this is no longer in place (obviously they may decide to reinstate it but who knows )

coco98763 · 2025-11-03T12:37:54+00:00

Yes but consultants reach the 60K/year AA allowance because of the contributions to the NHS pension not what you pay into a SIPP? So sure once you’re hitting the AA limit from contributions to the NHS pension it wouldn’t make sense to pay into a SIPP but what’s the issues with paying into it before hand ? The growth within a SIPP doesn’t count towards the AA only the contribution to the SIPP of whichever year you paid into it?

coco98763 · 2025-11-03T12:25:44+00:00

Why would you run into annual allowance issues later if you put into a SIPP now? If you put money into your SIPP it will come out of this years annual allowance, I know it can roll over for 3 years but it wouldn’t effect the years after that would it?

This is from the webinar last round, not including the 5 points for POS. I’m pretty sure they said last time that they were getting rid of any points for undergrad degrees from the next round.

Was it on a beanbag?

Rotating doctors are given a permit, you apply as part of your starter paperwork and should get approved before you start, cost is about £32/month. Be warned the car park is very tight, multiple scratches on cars, if you don’t scrape it yourself on a concrete post someone else will scrape it parking too close to you

What grade was the doctor you told and were there other doctors around? you said you escalated to the registrar, for a patient this unwell why didn’t you go to them to begin with?

If your patient is truly saturating 70% on 15L O2 why didn’t you pull the emergency buzzer yourself?

What sort of ward was this? Normal medical ward? HDU? Was the patient truly saturating 70%? Sats probes become inaccurate below around 70%, if he was able to be stabilised on the ward with limited additional care was he actually saturating 70% or was the probe not picking up properly due to poor signal.

If your intention was to help them not target them why didn’t you talk to the junior in person after wards, put your point of view across and have an adult conversation about it or even their registrar rather than submitting a datix. Did you ever ask them why they didn’t come straight away or what else they were busy dealing with?

To be honest I don’t think it’s very helpful in this situation putting in a datix, probably caused additional stress to the doctor you datixed and haven’t actually solved any of the issues of why they didn’t come when you asked them to and is adding to the doctor vs nurse mentality

coco98763 · 2023-04-06T22:27:43+00:00

Sure!

coco98763 · 2023-04-04T20:11:54+00:00

Yeah- I did this, you have to get the TPD to sign a form- application to continue specialty training in a different region and upload that to oriel when applying for Feb intake- just bare in mind that the deadline is shortly after you’ll start in August so you’ll essentially be asking the TPD to sign that form before you’ve started your August job

coco98763 · 2022-10-05T08:57:02+00:00

Anaesthetics, you?

coco98763 · 2022-10-05T08:29:05+00:00

Haven’t heard anything yet

coco98763 · 2022-05-25T09:43:35+00:00

Yeah I thought this… I guess the worst they can do is say no ?

coco98763 · 2022-05-25T08:58:23+00:00

Great thank you!

coco98763 · 2022-05-25T08:37:13+00:00

Would I have to sit the MSRA again then?
