    Completely accurate. F1 doctor here and my family were shocked at my pay. It’s ridiculous considering how hard we work

    Wow, you are exceptional. No f2 will fork out their own money doing all those course, exams, conferences. Most would not bother and take an f3 year. Please claim all those expenses back from HMRC.

    • @KittyWongHF
      @KittyWongHF  Před 2 lety +7

      Agree with your comment lots of these are not “mandatory” spending as an F2; but as I mentioned things like the BSS, ATLS, exams all contribute to applying to CST so how much of a “choice” is it really?! (how fair that is and whether it promotes a pay-to-win culture is another topic…)
      As someone on a visa (I’m not exactly an IMG as went to med school in UK) I was also not willing to risk not being on training as this would mean I would struggle to find a sponsor for my visa for the next few years. So unfortunately it did mean I had to work extra hard to ensure I get a post.
      Will definitely claim back from HMRC haha

    • @khengk5441
      @khengk5441 Před rokem

      At the current competition ratio of specialty application, those who will realistically get a job are most likely the ones who committed early on in 5th year or Fy1. If you could look at the CST application portfolio handbook at FY2, to get the bare minimum to get an invitation to submit evidence, you will need at least f3/f4 to barely cross the line to get an interview. The irony thing is you have to use your fy3/4 pay to go for extra courses/exams to score points.

      My husband didn’t get anything back from HMRC! They are only interested in taxing, nothing more. Now as a consultant his take home pay is £4350😢What’s the point of working in the NHS?? Just wasting your life and time!

    It’s better to be a CA or a Finance executive! Being a doctor in England is a thankless job! Minuscule pay, no free time, long working hours, lots of stress, unhealthy food in the hospital cafes, and the resulting ill health from it all. Not worth it!

    as a caribbean junior doctor we get paid the equivalent of 17,687 pounds but we work 100+ hour work weeks and all call shifts are 24hrs 8-8 but youre still expected to work the full workday 8-4 so it ends up cracking a 30hr workday most call days

      @KittyWongHF  Před 2 lety +1

      See my MRCS part B video - couple of Q banks, books, and a £800 prep course (obviously all optional, but the rationale is it would cost less to go on the course and pass than fail then go on the course and resit).

    Hi , I am a international medical graduate, I am doing my final year studies in Ukraine but I haven’t done my internship so if I pass the plab. Will it be difficult for me to get the job as F1 Because of not doing any internship?

      @kole1ful Před 2 lety +1

      No it isn’t. I studied in Ukraine (Kharkov National Medical University), and I’m currently in Foundation training.
      What you need to do is apply through the UKFPO in June of the year you graduate.
      You’ll need to write IELTS and get at least 7.5 in each aspect, and later SJT.
      If you want more info I can give you my email and send all the info you need.
      Good luck

    Some of the exams and career progression things can be claimed on tax returns.
