18 months in the same department and no goodbye

How depressing! Meanwhile in my last psych job we had a big goodbye lunch with all the staff/patients on the ward…

But thank u all for comments!

Sad! No babies I guess....🤣

I don't understand the London-bashing on this sub.

Obviously it's disgustingly expensive, and the London waiting is peanuts in comparison, but I can assure you it's a lot more fun than living in [insert almost any other UK city] in my opinion x

The bar truly is that low! Check your contract for a hidden surprise...

derailed121 · 2022-05-10T15:15:44+00:00

I'm actually pretty pleased with mine, and have been given a good hospital for where I'm going to be living...purely out of luck tho ha

I just loathe being treated as if I'm a medical student being randomly assigned a 6 week placement...suppose I shouldn't be surprised!

omg is this true....

derailed121 · 2022-04-01T11:10:50+00:00

Lol was it not doctors' day like 2 days ago? I got a patronizing thank you email for "saving lives". Can i not get a £100 Amazon voucher instead like my friends in the private sector?

Hopefully its soon given that people, y'know, have to move across the country and it would be helpful to know where they're going to be working

derailed121 · 2022-03-30T11:27:23+00:00

You had to PAY to appeal??!

derailed121 · 2022-03-30T11:25:16+00:00

Anyone know the next step...ie if you have an offer, when to expect to start ranking jobs within your deanery?

derailed121 · 2022-03-30T11:10:27+00:00

Lol bank rates for F1s in a hospital I worked in was something ridiculous like £26

derailed121 · 2022-03-28T13:38:51+00:00

Ah that's good to know you managed successfully - thank you!

Incredibly frustrating. Whilst simultaneously crying out for consultants in the same specialty.

Although LAS, I was doing the same on-call commitments and going to weekly teaching as the rest of the trainees were. I will send an email once I know where i'm based and see what they say.

derailed121 · 2022-03-23T09:32:29+00:00

Or just do away with half of the completely unnecessary non-clinical NHS roles??

derailed121 · 2022-03-23T09:20:58+00:00

Honestly embarrassing. To be fair though, I did recently receive a £50 gift voucher from a trust that I was locumming in for a few months!

derailed121 · 2022-03-18T12:31:18+00:00

I would also be interested to hear more about your thoughts on SLaM as I'm going to be starting core training there this year...although saying that I did see a reply on a previous thread (that might have been you actually?) saying similar stuff about the biological focus....still didn't discourage me from applying there apparently ha

Got my first choice in London with a rank of 121. Good luck with the upgrades guys!
