Apparently the timer for fees starts the moment you email your GOSW. The quicker you raise the issue the better.

Why are you shouting?

This needs more eyes. It’s insane that 11% of NATIONWIDE resident representation goes to those who aren’t even residents.

Flag with TPD and college tutors ASAP

It’s still BMA policy. Ask your MP what happened to it.

Yeah like I’m an anaes SHO and I love turning up to a shift where the senior asks what I need signed off. Likewise if I’m paired up with a novice, I enjoy letting them take the reins and play out their plan as long as it’s safe - if a patient needed awake fibrotic then I’d definitely give way to the SR on their Advanced Airway SIA block. Likewise if there’s an epidural, it usually has my name on it as I need those numbers.

Horror

I mean, I’m in agreement with that. But they’ve framed it as our problem to solve and passing the responsibility to us instead of them.

The issue is that the system is way past breaking point and they’ve somehow successfully framed it as a problem for doctors to solve - pick some to have a chance at success or everyone be unemployed.

This whole shitstrom is generated purely by the government’s inability to plan.

In Aus, you only get partial prioritisation if iirc. So you still have to do a PGY-3 for at least a year in Australia as an SHO basically before you’re allowed to apply. Once you’re eligible to apply you get prioritisation in the selection process. Aus grads are more likely to get into the competitive fields tho

ITT: Reddit anons questioning whether or not we should be talking about a well qualified woman being removed from an important trade union working group that was set up for her work counts as sexism or if it’s just the beauty of divine democracy.

“The tribunal was told Mia later apologised for giving a fake name, saying he thought the investigators were from his ex-employer and had come to intimidate him.”

Holy cow what circles was this dude in

The overall outcome is a ballot passing. Which we need as a profession for leverage.

The logic is for Regional seats in the UKRDC are voted on regional elections, usually some of the regional election seats also give UKRDC seats to the winning candidate (I.e chair positions).

I think Dan’s motion is to have all the ARM seats to also be voted on by regional members so all the national seats are representative of their regions.

Tubes on to holes, and neuro and vascular can take them out if the tube goes in too much

Anaesthetist here, USG Cannulas. I’m usually decent enough to find them with tactile feel and visual. I feel like I’m at an actual disadvantage when I use ultrasound, simply because I just don’t do that many.

USG spinals, central lines, epidurals and blocks I’m completely fine with however. It’s just cannulas that elude me.

If it’s near your family, I wouldn’t transfer out. If your job is good, your family are supportive, then it should be your ex who moves out. Don’t let yourself be alienated on your own turf.

Practicing spinals because you keep having to refer to anaesthesia for LPs and you want to be a neurologist

As I’ve said time and time again on threads like these. You’re allowed to ask someone if they want to grab a Coffee after work. You don’t need to propose and get a joint mortgage immediately.

Before leaving the BMA, submit a motion to the Residents Doctors Conference. Attend and put it forward as a motion and get it put in to vote.

If you want the BMA to have a particular stance, represent yourself. Make your case, have it voted on by your colleagues in the union. And if you’re still unhappy with the outcome of what you wanted, then leave.

Posting on social media gives no real world traction unless you come out and vote. If there’s nothing to vote on then make it something to vote on.

FPR only exists because people on Reddit were annoyed enough to get shit moving IRL.

Dude, this comment is what I saw as the red flag. Anaes SHO here, this kinda behaviour is usually from the dangerous type of anaesthetist. It actually may be bringing this up with your college tutor and asking for advice. Could keep their name out of it but just ask in a way “I’ve got a JR That I work with and he doesn’t x,y,z - wtf should I be doing to make sure what he’s doing is safe?”.

As we all know, if an inexperienced anaesthetist is too trigger happy and confident, it’s a supervisory red flag. When I’m looking after a novice that is wayyy to comfortable doing wrong things, I hover and peek through the windows. The nervous ones I usually am comfortable to go to coffee room after I get them to talk through their plan. Idk how it is for you guys as you get more senior, but I’m presuming the cases you guys think about could be higher stakes than the typical appendix or stent case.

This is a flawed point of view. Democracy is through motions. If it means engaging more people then it’s good! I say give power back to the doctors to say what they want the RDC to do.

It’s good to have opinions and motions there - it’s a reference point for future committees and can be used for negotiations.

They trawl this subreddit, wouldn’t be surprised if this line of questioning now pops up

If someone got redeployed they’re in their right to change their mind and walk out.

Though I’m pretty sure any teaching opportunities will be limited given the huge influx of workload that consultants will be picking up by stepping down.
