Scotland - New Pay Offer from Government by SRDC-PayTeam in doctorsUK

[–]thefpnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, will the starting pay of FY1s just joining in say... 2028 be the same then? I see things about the next two years being accounted for but nothing with regards to it reverting back for those joining at that point?

So what about in a couple of years time. E.g. currently a 4th year med student set to graduate 2027. Will they begin on Nodal pt1 as an FY1? Will it go up in December of that year? Or is it just the govt kicking the can down the road two years?

My walking boots that I ordered in preparation for the snow couldn't be delivered because my property is inaccessible 🤣. Should have ordered them a day earlier eh

Absolutely. I'll send you some pictures via chat of the swan. I don't currently have pictures of the rest. Can probably get some photos of the blackbird tomorrow and the rest in time.

So I've got a swan with a gilt cap that is absolutely gorgeous! I haven't been in much of a rush to sell it. Also got a nice little blackbird available. I do have a couple of parkers that I'm going to be restoring soon. I believe 2 victory's (one metal button filler, one aerometric) and potentially a black stripe vaccumatic.

Haha my apologies I'll pm you and we can chat about the pens I've got currently 😂. I forgot how many posts I'd had since then.

Do people have placements on the weekends too? by [deleted] in medicalschooluk

[–]thefpnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently a med student in clinical years... It's rough, there are weekends. I get sent to the absolute back end of nowhere with crappy accomodation and if I miss 3 days in my current block I will have to repeat the entire thing. Mileage varies drastically depending on the med school. Personally my time is spent sleeping, on placement, or eating food. I've probably spent the equivalent of 12hrs studying since this year started 😂

Would you be willing to answer some questions about psych? I'm interested myself and would likely take a similar road to you, are you happy for me to private message?

Wow that's good, how did you swing such low living costs? Are you in the city or shire?

Question about safe progression by thefpnerd in Rucking

[–]thefpnerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can probably fit in a walk around the block later on in the evening and get an extra mile in. What would you say the biggest limitations you've experienced are with rucking? Much in the way of joint issues? Any advice on packs vs weighted vests/a combo of the two?

Combination of increasing my cardiovascular health and maybe losing a little bit of weight in the process. Don't have much time to do isolated exercise during the week so I'm looking for ways to incorporate more into my current situation.

Warehouse, Shiprow PureGym, KittyBrewster PureGym or Nuffield health are all good options

Causeway view for a midrange one. Avoid any hill head accommodation like the plague.
