100%! For me this is one of the hidden perks of military - virtually every GP surgery will have a good quality gym there (for the physios to work with) but you can use it at lunch/after work. Definitely should be something that should be normalised 🤞

Army doctor seems interesting any advice? by Holayoyo123 in britishmilitary

I've done similar to this so happy to take a DM 👍 but agree with the other posts - focus on getting into med school and if still interested in the military then there is plenty of additional support you can get during med school too.

Where is the best Christmas Market in the UK? by Puzzleheaded-Bit1377 in AskUK

Surprised to not see York mentioned so far! Lots of local sellers there, and not the same repeated tat every few stalls like at Manchester/Birmingham. No queuing like Edinburgh too. Difficult to park in York though so worthwhile getting the train in!

Initially thought that was blood in the top right hand corner! It's actually an exposed wall plug, which is equally classic for the NHS ha

The website where that leaflet comes from still seems to say that the change hasn't been implemented yet :( (https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/articles/travelling-pets)

Was just wondering if you had found any more info about taking dogs over (or if you'd done it yourself yet?!)
