How will it impact their training?
I (F1) have looked at different career options for doctors and found that unless you are already a consultant, GP or senior registrar, it is pretty much impossible to find non-clinical jobs.
Medical advisor/specialist for start-ups - at least 4+ year of post qualification experience
Healthcare management/consultancy - again, years of experience is a must
Medical science liaison for pharma - PhD + years of experience are needed
Health informatics/analytics/ data science - don't even ask if you don't have a Mathematics/CS degree
Can someone just kill my dream of finding another job so I can fully embrace the fact that the NHS owns me? Just tell me escape is not an option, I can learn to love big brother.
Iβm confused why we even have it in the first place? Is there a point to it or any skills weβre supposed to gather during those first two years before specialising?
Assuming they were 25 weeping angels, how would they be contained?
If they breached containment, what would the protocols be?
Which MTF would be the best to recapture them?
Also, 1 weeping angel vs SCP-173, who would win?
I know many PAs are very helpful to junior doctors. I am not saying this is all PAs but my experience working as a foundation doctor in a surgical department with PAs has been frustrating.
I have not attended theatre or clinic once in my 4 months in the surgical job. Foundation doctors basically run the wards, do on-calls and PAs said they are just there help out. They said to us that they are supernumerary so they would just help out whenever. The thing is if they actually help us we won't mind. We feel that they don't pull their weights and use the supernumerary as a sign when they don't want to help. After helping with seeing the patients on the ward rounds which involves writing in notes, they hand over all jobs to us including prescribing or non-prescribing jobs. They then go to theatre to assist, clinics and do admin. They don't do on-calls. No one seems to have an idea what their schedules are like including the regs. No one seems to care/know. We feel like they act like regs in the department minus on-calls but when there are ward jobs we need help with, they would say I am supernumerary, I cannot prescribe sooo...
The PAs and ANPs in the department would not want their rotas to be in cooperate with foundation doctors' rotas. They said that they are not doctors, and only supernumerary. This results in they can take annual leave and study leave whenever they want and no one seems to know about it. Sure it doesn't affect us but we do feel this is quite unfair when you take into consideration their daily work, hours, responsibilities, pay etc. comparing with ours.
At the end of the rotation, we had a chat between ourselves and we all shared our frustrations that we learnt nothing much about the speciality but doing ward jobs. Sure the on-calls taught us lots but they are also super busy. None of us went to theatre or clinics twice. The PAs have been there for 2 years so well known to all consultants and the consultants don't even know our names. Fair enough but we can't help feeling like we were treated as second class citizens in the job whilst we were supposed to be trained a bit, maybe to be the senior doctors in the future etc. and no seniors including regs and consultants seem to care about our experience.
The only CST in the department also was very frustrated with this situation about PAs assisting in theatre, doing clinics etc. and the CST obviously loses her training opportunities because the consultants and regs prefer the PAs. We think

Currently FY1 and after I cover bills including rent etc I end up with about 1.5k left, just wondering how on earth all these foundation doctors on this sub can afford to do a masters degree during fountain training when they cost 15k+? Is there some sort of bursary or scholarship that I'm missing out on?
As the title states, I'm currently an FY1 and I'm looking for opportunities to help me earn additional points for future CST... how exactly do I find awards to apply to, conferences to present at / article submissions.. where is the best place to find all this information? Only place I know is ASIT but would be useful to find another source..
(interested in urology!)
Thanks!
I'm now pulling overtime at home trying to get all of you that started this week onto our NHS Trusts HR database so you get paid correctly next week!
The doctor finds himself contained within the SCP Foundation, can he escape it entirely (never be caught again)?
Note: The Doctor as long as he is in his cell, he can have unlimited prep time.
R1: No BS stuff like Swann can be used, foundation only has universal+ equipment at best. The doctor is contained in a standard humanoid containment cell but prep time = forever (since contained), no equipment given to the Doctor, Foundation can't kill him, only contain.
R2: Same as R1 but Foundation can kill him as a last resort.
R2: Same as R1 and 2 but Doctor got equipment like his screwdriver and Tadris, Foundation can kill him as last resort.
R3: Doctor has the power of 'the glory' and the Foundation can only use anything equal to that. The Doctor is in his cell. The Foundation can also kill him as a last resort.
R4: The doctor has somehow embedded himself as a 'Swann Entity' what can the foundation use to stop him?
R5: Same as R4 except the Doctor has to escape the verse.
Bonus round: Could the doctor find a way to kill SCP 682? (He can use stuff like SCP 2935 and killing the doctor is impossible in this round)
Fight to the death unless stated otherwise. Weeping Angel cannot displace enemies in time.
Round One: Fight to the death in the Chamber of Secrets. Fighters start out of sight of one another.
Round Two: Bloodlusted free-for-all in dark catacombs. 096 gets a central chamber as a starting position, Basilisk gets an internal understanding of the catacombs layouts, and the Weeping Angel has a number of angel statues within the catacombs to blend in with.
Round Three: All three are loose in New York City. The Basilisk is in the NYC Subway system. The Weeping Angel has taken up a position in Calvary Cemetery. 096 has set up shop in a server room of 270 Park Avenue (JP Morgan/Chase building). All three are actively hostile, and the SCP Foundation are trying to contain the threats ASAP. Which combatant does the most damage, and who lasts the longest before being contained?
Round Four: The three combatants are locked within Tennessee's "The Island" mirror maze (3000 ft^2), starting equidistant from one another as they begin their hunt. Who emerges victorious?
Bonus Round: The combatants are each given their own respective iteration of Slenderman's forest to try and pass through, hunting 8x 5 year old children (mirroring the hunt for the 8 pages) whilst Slenderman hunts them down. Can any of them elude Slenderman to finish their own hunts, and if so, who does it fastest?
TLdR
R1: Fight to the death in Chamber of Secrets.
R2: Hunting each other through catacombs.
R3: SCP Foundation hunting the three running amok in NYC, who lasts longest?
R4: Hunting each other through world's largest mirror maze.
Bonus: Each tries to beat Slenderman's 8 page challenge (with child prey instead of notes) whilst Slenderman hunts them. Who performs best?
https://www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/regulator-removes-struggling-hospitals-junior-doctors/7030046.article Behind a paywall, but essentially 10 foundation doctors have been removed from Weston Hospital after persistent ongoing concerns about supervision/quality of training.
I've posted this to show that while it is very rare ofr this to happen, and unlikely to happen at the first raising of concern, persistent poor feedback by trainees in things like the GMC survey WILL produce action.
I completely appreciate that it seems pointless to raise concerns when nothing/little seems to change for you, but you still make a difference.
I've been thinking about this recently. Often when it becomes obvious the workload is not manageable by the current level of staffing, half measures such as locums/staff grades get used.
What is the process through which deaneries/foundation programme directors get more foundation doctors added to a particular rotation? Do they make a business case? Are department heads asked? Exception reports looked at? Number picked out of a hat?
Just curious regarding the process.
Kondraki hears about a so-called bug witch and decides, what the hell, I haven't had a good a monster hunt without some probability altering, anomaly nullifying hax bullshit, and goes to deal with the problem on his own, armed only with his gun, his saber, and his butterflies. He finds some random building that Jane Prentiss has infected, and goes in. Which swarm master walks out alive?
What it says in the title. I don't know if the answer has ever been given, but from what I've read, they seem to be somewhere above site directors but below O5s. Does anyone have a definitive answer, if one exists?
So it was mentioned that HAF owned 30% of hospitals in US. Just assume that the amount of doctors in every hospitals in US are similar (and I suppose that HAF only owns medium-big hospitals) Turn back to that part when they haven't changed the "criteria" so Meredith could won, it means that 30% ( or more ) of doctors in US couldn't receive a HA award, and no one suspicious about that no one under those hospitals ever won ? Am I missing any part
Basically I will spend all of my F2 year in the community because a majority of the ward based jobs are taken up by overseas graduates who are not allowed to work e.g. GP jobs.
I'm absolutely devastated I won't have a ward job because all I want to do is hospital medicine and I feel like i've been put at a massive disadvantage here.
I'm at my top choice hospital now and haven't been given what would have been my higher ranked pathways entirely because, unknown to me when applying, several job opportunities were blocked because of this ridiculous rule.
It's not fair on the overseas doctors either but seriously? I'm fucking service provision for a year because we just had to take half the cohort from another country.
Apparently HEE don't allow swaps but is there anyway around this?
