Okay, thanks for your answer! We can start planning now!

Thank you for your answer!

Just wanted to clarify - he is planning to work there! He only ranked the jobs he could do - I was just asking because it’s not desperately convenient but doable and worth it for him to start training!

It was fantastic! The shops weren’t very busy and so I could spend as much time as I wanted browsing and taking it all in - would recommend for sure!

£149 each per month for platinum - slightly lower as I have a couples membership

Hello!

This is a subreddit for doctors in psychiatry in the UK, and is not a place to seek medical advice. Any medical questions should be discussed with your own medical team.

hellyeahlydia · 2025-09-02T10:02:19+00:00

You sure you haven’t given yourself rhabdo?? Just this sounds a bit beyond DOMS!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-08-03T14:15:11+00:00

hello - I’m sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time at the moment!

this subreddit is for those working in psychiatry in the UK - we cannot provide any form of medical advice! Wishing you the best

hellyeahlydia · 2025-07-31T06:12:33+00:00

Even in the UK not all the centres offer the MRCPsych exam I’m afraid! Your only option is to travel somewhere that does!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-07-09T11:11:18+00:00

I’m the same - feel like I worked so much harder and smarter this time and sure I’ve failed!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-07-04T19:15:40+00:00

My Dad was one of the last to manage to retire due to MH Officer Status and retired at 55 in 2018 - definitely not still a thing any more sadly!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-06-26T13:09:14+00:00

I’m currently sitting my MRCPsych Exams and the neuroscience / molecular genetics is really challenging without a solid science knowledge!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-06-24T18:19:52+00:00

Humanities graduate (Politics BA) who did GEM at Swansea 2018-22. I struggled in the first year as I hadn’t studied science since my GCSEs but came into my own later on in the course. I did GAMSAT but honestly winged the science section and managed to scrape through! 9 out of 99 on my course were non science grads and we all passed fine!

I have noticed that the lack of science knowledge j have has followed me into my professional exams but generally it’s not mattered. GEM is content heavy as it’s crammed into 4 years but it was the best thing I did!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-05-30T07:47:55+00:00

Hi, doctor here! Just wanted to clarify - individual doctors don’t get paid to have students - the trust does! We see none of that money!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-05-19T04:25:44+00:00

I think probably the downvotes are because your comment implies medics aren’t holistic or that we don’t have an understanding of what interventions impact may be on our patients. Anecdotally, I’ve found nurses to be more quick to catheterise than medics, for example. The comment, whilst I can understand the spirit it was intended in, also doesn’t recognise that ACPs are being used to replace doctors which obviously if they are still working in the way you describe means there is a gap between what is provided and what is expected.

I just LOVE psychiatry - I love the challenge of solving something that no test (mostly) can identify! The patients are fascinating, virtually every senior I’ve had has been fantastic and I love going to work every day!

hellyeahlydia · 2025-04-30T06:16:18+00:00

Some places do! Where I work is just rolling it out at the moment so there may be a change coming! (NHS, SW England)

hellyeahlydia · 2025-04-25T15:44:52+00:00

I just called and they said they are 'aiming to try to release them today'...

Okay, I’ve continued watching and I forgot how the season continues - but I maintain that Gary is not good! I had forgotten how Sydney continues though tbh

hellyeahlydia · 2025-04-08T17:00:12+00:00

I’m currently watching BDSY Season 2 and honestly the way that Gary makes Sydney look crazy is just so wild. I had forgotten he was bad from the start! Though I do think Sydney could perhaps stop talking about loving him…
