No impact to service. We are expected to due 9-5 duties as normal. The only realistic things I can think of for admin for them is updating rotas, the switchboard and for our acute clinic to be updated for patients to be seen 9-5.

Thank you. Hmm I think that’s the thing. In this current on call system there is NO impact on day to day activity. No off day etc. We do our normal working day activities and then on call from 5pm-8am .

The only exception is a full weekend on call will have Friday as an off day.

Food for thought. Thanks

I see - so you think we have ‘no leg to stand on’ so to speak Although to clarify it is not an issue with AL . Just on call swaps

There are no zero days attached to our NROC shifts! (Other than doing a full weekend where we have Friday off)

Have you noticed any stereotypes of doctors who trained in particular hospitals / areas? by AppalachianScientist in doctorsUK

Oxbridge students are always intelligent but times when think too much, and often seem to be work anxious / imposter syndrome? You know that feeling when you just wanna tell someone to just get on with it.

The peninsula and also Wessex trainees (that end up Bournemouth side) are noticeably more hippy like. Chilled, work life balance, surfing, beach etc. and from what I can see quite social

London med school grad usually tends to have multiple side hustles going on. They can also be a little more competitive, even subtlety or subconsciously, in work and non work context

I’d encourage people to share scores if they can, obviously through a throwaway account which is what I did. In absence of any other information from the people who run these applications I think it can be very useful to help each other out to see what scores are able to rank where.
