@ProfBootyWizard @medicalmodelbri @CityStGeorges @CityStG_Health I had to do 8 in first year, 8 in second year, 6 in third year plus a 4 month research project with dissertation and viva, 4 in fourth year (they were gentle on us for our first full time clinical year), 12 in fifth year, and I think 5 in 6th year

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Have you listened to The Podcast “The Wargame” by Deborah Haynes from Sky news where politicians like Ben Wallace react in real time to a simulated Russian attack on the UK? What did you think? It seemed pretty damning of the ability of the UK to respond.

@DrEilidhMaria I did 2 surgical blocks and a medical block as an F1 and did zero clerking that year either. It’s a bit ridiculous. Pure ward cover.

@acweyand What units are you guys using for creatinine I don’t think I’ve ever seen single digits in my life

[Jonny Martin @jcollm1]

@talthegooner @wesstreeting I do also get a £5000/year meal allowance, and I actually leave on time, and it feels like management want to help me rather than rinse me for everything I’m worth. So there’s that.

[Jonny Martin @jcollm1]

@talthegooner @wesstreeting Dunno where these numbers come from, as a PGY3 in NZ I get paid roughly £65-70k equivalent. More than I would in the UK but not the same as the figures above. Locums would get me £85-110 an hour depending on time.

@EddCarlton “Afforded time” lol

@derick___f @JDF_Keswick @NHSEngland Yes

@Neil_J_Smart @EightyNine79599 @DrJSherrington @Derriford_Hosp By contrast in the hospital I work in in New Zealand parking costs $12.60 (about £6-7) per week, there’s basically always space. And there’s a separate consultant car park too. Hearing about stuff like this does make me think twice about coming back…

@psirides @RobJimFleming @IanSeppelt @iceman_ex @CICMANZ On my medical firm at the moment only the consultant is from NZ. I’m from Glasgow, reg from London, other house officer from Dublin.

People need to understand about derogations that hospitals have been abusing the word "emergency" to force doctors to work for years.

Rota gaps known about months in advance and unfilled because of poor rates are declared "emergencies" rather than offering more money.

@ollyp3 @EmergMedDr I moved to New Zealand. Now the UK has one less doctor. Happy?

[Jonny Martin @jcollm1]

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 The highest locum hourly rate I got in the UK was probably about £58. For a night shift in an extremely busy and short staffed A+E as an SHO (more senior than an F1). I’ve now moved to New Zealand and get $140 (£70)/hour for a 9-5 house officer (same as F1) locum as standard.

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 These are what the BMA say the NHS should pay. This is certainly not what the NHS pays by an extremely long way.

[Jonny Martin @jcollm1]

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 You can do extra shifts, but these are EXTRA and the hours are already pretty unsociable. If you can find me a bank F1 shift paying £62/hour I’d love to see it. In Glasgow it would be ~£19 if the extra shift was 9-5, slightly more ooh, a lot less than £62
