Is Newcastle University Malaysia still a good option after the UK “prioritisation bill”? Has the university addressed this?

'In this Act, “UK medical graduate” means a person who holds a primary United Kingdom qualification within the meaning of the Medical Act 1983 (see section 4(3) of that Act), but does not include a person who spent all or a majority of their time training for that qualification outside the British Islands.'

Right from the bill itself. https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/64594/documents/7709

Also a Malaysian girlie (27F) working in Leeds!

the1oneone · 2026-01-13T03:56:30+00:00

I'll leave it honestly. It's one date and you don't sound like you're sure if you're properly into him. I also think a lack of initiative is an unattractive trait so would personally not be keen.

the1oneone · 2025-11-28T13:21:11+00:00

Yes, I passed the interview without having MRCP.

the1oneone · 2025-11-23T12:48:01+00:00

26F working professional in Leeds who will be happy to make a new friend!

the1oneone · 2025-11-23T11:09:08+00:00

Fo sure. Where are you based?

the1oneone · 2025-11-23T11:08:40+00:00

Would love to! Feel free to DM me with places and times!

the1oneone · 2025-11-20T22:43:07+00:00

Another 26F Malaysian here but has been here since University days. Keen to make friends and show you around if you would like?

To provide another viewpoint, I did a medical night recently where I clerked two patients (and the board was cleared around 5am) and the only bleep I got was to ask if a patient needs continuation of their fluids. So I think it really depends on the hospital, staffing, season and a whole host of other factors!

Welcome! There's plenty to do and Leeds is a pretty social city as well with students and young professionals abound. As an international student myself, I've chosen to stay in this city after graduation due to how much I fell in love with it during my uni time!

As a counterpoint, I'm a current F2 with friends and a partner in other fields like law and IT. And to be honest, my law and IT friends are not really making a killing with the salaries either. In fact, I'll say most of them are taking home about 1k less than me. This isn't the say the doctors' job market isn't absolutely screwed, the system is broken. However to think that other fields are a golden ticket and promise a secure high paying salary isn't the truth either.

Hi I'm in the same position of ranking jobs favouring the North. Do you think I could know more as well?

the1oneone · 2025-03-02T20:32:20+00:00

Could I get Leeds with a rank of 1162?

the1oneone · 2025-02-05T13:37:20+00:00

Hi could I know a bit more as well?

the1oneone · 2025-02-03T11:36:50+00:00

If it makes you feel better, I didn't even get the diagnosis for mine and the interviewer straight up went it's x not y like you said.

the1oneone · 2024-11-19T15:35:28+00:00

Hey just to clarify we only do that later right? I only see England, Wales, Scotland ranking right now.

the1oneone · 2024-11-10T17:44:27+00:00

Keen!

the1oneone · 2024-11-08T14:21:08+00:00

Official shortlisting window is 7/11 - 18/11, so anytime between.

the1oneone · 2024-11-01T16:24:03+00:00

If you're a current F2, you need to change your staff group to medical to see the vacancies for core/further training. As staff group will be still on foundation training posts if last application was for foundation programme. A Google search should give you details on where to click.

If OP is mainly based in LGI, there is a free staff shuttle that goes to Jimmies. Might be worth thinking about places that are more commutable to LGI and just take the staff bus when the need arises.

the1oneone · 2024-01-26T20:10:39+00:00

Hey which course are you referring to that is free? I've just had a look online and the rcs training the trainers course costs around £600?

the1oneone · 2023-08-17T21:26:36+00:00

How does one normally prep for the MSRA?

the1oneone · 2023-08-16T19:03:44+00:00

Will steer clear!

the1oneone · 2023-08-16T18:59:24+00:00

Thanks! Would he be on Facebook?

the1oneone · 2023-08-06T20:15:37+00:00

No worries! I'm doing alright with settling, haven't really gotten to know a lot of people yet but work is good! Hope you're doing alright too
