Just really hope everyone who keeps voting Tory watches this. Some aspects of the job can't be controlled for, but everything else doesn't need to be the absolute pits.
We're continuing our work to improve the working conditions of @NHSEngland doctors.
Helping to make the NHS faster, simpler and fairer.
Health and Social Care Secretary @VictoriaAtkins explains how this is just the start 👇
@doctor_dru_ @DrLindaDykes First, sorry this happens/happened. If someone holding a bleep is rude, they are probably having a HALT moment (we all have the chance of having these, can often be won round during the call). If not, it's their underlying personality. Either way just feel sorry for them 😂
If you know doctors, and don't know one that hasn't used this service, I can't help but feel that says more about you than them. Losing this service, and almost more importantly, the knowledge it is there, will/would be huge.
Dear 🇬🇧,
I can't stop thinking about my employer caring so little about suicidal doctors that it's chosen to cut the 0.007% of its budget it spends on the mental health service that helps keep them alive.
Thanks, @nhsengland.
And they wonder why doctors are leaving in droves.
This is when being a landlord is not fun. It will be a random Thursday morning and you’ll get a £2,000 bill out the blue.
Personally, I think the tenant should cover this 🏡😔
Can confirm - having got to CT2 in anaesthetics (pre-MSRA), and sat it in Jan - the exam has zero bearing on your ability to be an anaesthetic trainee. I'm baffled it's used, and understand why people are gutted.
The bar for anaesthetics CT1 interview this year is obscene. So far the lowest MSRA score I've seen confirmed to have an interview is 571. Someone on Reddit with 559 missed out
Give it a few more years and you'll only get an interview if you score 100%
1/ The first 10 years of a doctors life is usually 25-35, a period when most people think of
- mortgaging a house
- settling down with family
- paying student loans
- thinking of career progression
Let me now mythbust why it's impossible for doctors to do the above
For our medical seniors who aren't aware, this exam is genuinely what is used to select for entrance to SHO level NTN in most specialties now, because a certain subset of our seniors signed off on it, presumably because it was cheaper than doing something else.
I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay.
Turns out, the GMC do not pay tax. They class doctors' fees as charity.
They take £500/yr from doctors, pay zero tax on it, and use it to give their staff £250k salaries and private healthcare.
