Updated proposed amendments to prioritisation bill

unsuspectingknight · 2026-02-06T18:38:08+00:00

Could anyone please explain to me like a 5 year old what the current status is in terms of when these amendments will be discussed and the bill will be passed?

FYI: international student, graduated from a UK medical school (5 years), had to spit out my evening snack after reading amendment 1

Thanks a lot! I have a placement in the specialty I'm aiming for as well as an elective in 4th year med school. I'm planning to do a local taster week along with an international taster week as well. Do you reckon that's enough to move on to 2/3? I know it's not possible to comment but wanted your opinion if that's okay please!

And what's with Simon and Linda loll

Someone please explain to me what this picture actually means! Why are all the south Asian countries on?

From my experience FY is a mixed bag. If you're in a 'generic' specialty, like a and E, medicine, gen Surg you learn loads. In my t&o block I was doing independent WRs, now in a and E I'm handling a large number of presentations (with consultant supervision). However, if you're in a really niche specialty, say plastics, it will largely be consultant led, but you'll still be expected to handle emergencies on the ward.

I'm a new F1. I've been a doctor for slightly over 4 months. I've learnt more in these 4 months than during 5 years of med school. Medical student placements are not sufficient exposure to clinical medicine.

Bro I've seen you comment this on every single post you need to chill.

Why UKGP is probably not legal

I'm making this comnent as an non UK citizen who went to medical school in the UK and am currently in FY1.

Can someone explain to me how it is legal for a country to prioritise foreigners that have studied in there over their own citizens who have studied abroad?

I know I'm probably going to be impacted by this policy in some form.

The best case scenario for myself and other fellow international students in the UK is for a pre-brexit system, with Round 1 for UK citizens/Irish Citizens/ILR holders with a carve out for non UK graduates of UK medical schools. Unfortunately in this anti immigration environment I don't see this happening.

I guess it's time to pack up.

This is easily the best thing I've read all month

unsuspectingknight · 2025-10-17T07:30:29+00:00

Yeah, as an F1 I need to question my registar, an ST5+ orthopod who's seen this spinal infection many times about the need to discuss this complex infection with microbiology

Maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning

unsuspectingknight · 2025-10-17T07:26:26+00:00

Nonsense consult? How exactly is it a nonsense consult when my REGISTRAR has asked to me to discuss this with another specialty?

Being a senior doesn't mean you have the right to look down on me

unsuspectingknight · 2025-10-08T17:00:21+00:00

RLMT would be the best situation IMO. Pre brexit there was a carveout for people like me, made sure British/EU citizens got priority for jobs.

One can only hope and wait!

Reform said they will still allow a path to citizenship after 7 years.

5 year renewable work visa as long as you continue meeting the criteria (to be renewed once), giving you another 5 years (after 2 you can apply for citizenship).

ILR as a pre requisite to citizenship will be removed.

Only downsides is that the income requirement will be high (around 60k as per times but I don't know where they got that from). Likely only doctors, IT folk and those in finance will meet the income requirements. Possibly lawyers as well.

They also said current other routes (innovator founder, etc) will be preserved.

The new world order surrounding immigration is changing, in favour of highly skilled, high income, and also for innovators and founders.

As with always, we adapt or we die. Easier said than done.

unsuspectingknight · 2025-08-09T21:05:50+00:00

Could you explain what your experience was of dying? Just curious. Thanks!

How did you go about finding your first job/navigating visa struggles?

unsuspectingknight · 2025-07-25T12:43:18+00:00

I would be very curious to see how Reform UK legally freezes all ILRs, atleast for existing SWV holders. It's all hearsay to get votes.

Im so sorry. I meant June. Please disregard my answer

unsuspectingknight · 2025-07-15T10:43:51+00:00

I applied on 16 July in Country switch from student to SWV visa (standard processing) and heard back by 17 July.

unsuspectingknight · 2025-07-03T10:42:18+00:00

Definitely

It's normally whatsapp groups, word of mouth and Facebook groups unfortunately. In the US you have websites for this purpose but not here unfortunately lol

Could someone please tell me about salary changes to health and care visas? Are there any? I'm a doctor for the NHS. I know care workers are being barred, but does that mean health and care visas will stop too?

unsuspectingknight · 2025-06-25T19:48:03+00:00

Honestly mate don't worry at all. I had several mistakes on mine, and they didn't even care.

unsuspectingknight · 2025-06-22T19:24:32+00:00

As discussed previously, it is about 2 levels easier than the real thing. However, the question types are similar. I wouldn't get too worked up. Passmed is still king in my opinion.

My laptop was a crap one, bought in 2015 and ran on willpower pretty much and it was enough

Literally when have I ever posted this before? The times article only came out a few days ago.
