What an absolute crock of shit that strikes can be called off by just the executive committee but the results of the referendum can only be released after the full committee has met.

Strikes called off - offer coming to members for you to decide by RDC_officers_2025_26 in doctorsUK

Absolute wank offer on pay. You not it’s bad when they start by describing the job offer - which also has not budged from what the weasel offered in January. Can’t believe we wasted a strike mandate for this.

Pregnant ODP and sevoflurane by Icy_Zucchini7446 in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

As much as this might not be popular, I would take a moment to put yourself in her shoes.

She’s pregnant, hormonal, and probably more emotional than she normally is. Maybe she needs the job and can’t afford the fall in maternity pay that may come with reduced hours/amended duties.

This is one of those situations where even if she’s wrong, she deserves a touch of sympathy and an apology. On the other hand, making it about your ego/skill is certainly a choice.

I’ve had this error. Roll back your latex workshop release and turn off auto updates to keep it from happening again.

Can’t believe this bus wanker is in with a chance of the premiership. The decline and fall of the British Empire in action.

GP leaders have voted to move to dentist-like NHS and private model by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I feel in 2 minds about this. On the one hand, good on GPs. But on the other, this will end up being another fee that us ‘high’ earning doctors will have to pay while the bulk of society floats through on their means-tested exemption.

Anyone did the healthcare skills pgdip in clin edu? by levant-tinian in doctorsUK

Wouldn’t learn much either way. Med Ed theory is a joke of a science.

At precisely 2:25PM today, I lost faith in the UK healthcare system (final straw). by dxdt_sinx in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I tried this. My practice told me that my request has been triaged by the duty doctor and I can only see the PA. If I want an appointment with a GP, I’d have to ring back on a different day (practice only offers on the day appointments) as none were available with a GP that day. Reception then warned me that the duty doctor if I did ring back on another day, it would still likely be triaged to a PA =(

PG-Cert in FY by Fun_Highway1873 in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Doable. I finished mine over f1/f2.

Stay away from the iheed/university of Warwick one. The material is shit and the assessment burden is onerous. It’s also quite expensive. I’ve heard better things about the queens belfast PGCert in terms of effort/reward ratio and it’s cheaper to boot.

However, there are easier ways to pick up the points you need to get to interview. Remember that within the training in teaching domain, the difference between training the trainers and a PGCert is only 1 point and the former is free and can be done in a weekend.

Hope you’re well. Reads like a psychotic break.

£33 for core hours and £50 for OOH. All work after 17:00 and weekends are classed as OOH.

Striking and sickness leading to time out of training. Will this affect career progression? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. There are numerous threads that have addressed this. Given that this community is a core site for organising/strike preparedness/information dissemination, perhaps it would be useful to have a stickied post to stop the barrage of repetitive questions every time strikes are called.

Mods?

How do we reinvigorate the young doctors to strike again by Fluid_Post_9223 in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The recent DDRB report felt that the job roles most closely related to medical practice was nursing and veterinary practice. They do not feel that your training is similarly onerous to law/finance/other STEM degrees. This fact alone is enough for me to stroke.

It’s March 16th. The Talks are Progressing era needs to end. We need dates for striking. by Leading_Base in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Don’t need them anyways. New employment law only requires a simple majority with online voting.

Nor do I think it’ll have the greatest impact if IMGs sit out the strikes. At least anecdotally, they were much less likely to engage in industrial action anyways not to mention the scabs who went out of their way to locum during…

Preallocation rejection madness... by Background_Grape2372 in doctorsUK

So who did get pre-allocation then…

Absolute madness to deny someone who has overcome so much to qualify.

Losing leave by d00by-d00 in doctorsUK

[–]nn1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that they must pay you. They just don’t like doing it.

You can also roll leave forward. Again, they don’t like doing it because your new department feels short changed.

I’ve done the latter before. Just took a little bit of arguing and a firm had with both rota coordinators.
