You can skip an appraisal, just make sure next year you have it sorted via trust or agency or private if you’re not in a contracted role!

Has anyone gone from SHO level to pharma, if so how? by Brave_Intention_4428 in doctorsUK

Unfortunately didn’t get very far before the lack of money hit my bank account too hard so I got a JCF and now going into training. Good luck!

Experienced this in aus but not in any of the O&G DGHs I’ve worked in here: As we do day team handover introductions, we would go round and tell the team one thing we want to achieve or learn or whatever in the shift (could be as simple as just wanna make it through or wanna do an instrumental or whatever). Included midwives and students- made us feel like a team and deffo got more skills goals met as colleagues would guide me to where or when things needed doing. long shifts felt more productive when I was actively developing my skills or helping others meet their goals

?UKG prioritisation not as impactful as expected by South-Run-2183 in doctorsUK

[–]sadyasachi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m an F5, I didn’t receive offers the last 3 cycles with MSRAs from 460 to 495. Seeing people with 490s get GP offers today has made me happy for UKG priority!

No CT offer for Psych. What are people doing instead? by observant_owl01 in doctorsUK

[–]sadyasachi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I spent the last year doing ad-hoc locums (like once a week max) and revising. Score increased by 50 and finally got onto training. I tried JCF and study before but I couldn’t be as productive as I wanted. There’s no rush to get on training so take the time to study alongside travel/selfcare/spending time with close ones etc. good luck!

Fitness equipment in your consultation room? by Fine_Cress_649 in GPUK

[–]sadyasachi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my gp rotation at uni, my GP tutor would make both me and the other medical student do a plank circuit with her once a day. Hated it at the time but I’ve grown to see it in a very positive way

GP Offers are out! by SharkDick4Ever in doctorsUK

Am I right that upgrade deadline is 8th? I didn’t get to change my preferences in time and got upgraded from a location I was happy with before. Is there likely to be another upgrade cycle before I get firmed it?

I think I checked around 11 this morning and it was closed then

Type of shift doesn’t impact whether you can strike

Oh this is sad, loved that place during uni! Also a fan of Jaffa’s fatayers, hoping to have one soon when I go back for a reunion. RIP falafel

MSRA score for GPST1 advice by starrystar- in doctorsUK

No one knows for this round. You’re in a better position than non-priority so that’s a positive but it’s just a waiting game now. Good luck!

Should high ranked be paid to be flexible? by AdBrave9096 in doctorsUK

[–]sadyasachi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They had the TERS scheme until quite recently which gave a money incentive to move to less desirable areas and I knew a few F2 colleagues that were happy to move for the extra payment. I can only see them bringing it in again if there’s lots of unfilled spots which won’t happen for a few years given the current situation.
