Remember this? Leeds ‘allowed’ their physician associates to request ionising radiation. This is illegal. I was a little concerned about this and so was @chriscpritchard so we FOIed. We got pushback. They told us it was just one incident report. … which we later found lead to…

These were my results in 2nd year of med school. I had to resit the IMS module in 1st year and my ‘medic dad’ said to me that people who have to resit IMS drop out of medicine altogether. Well here I am, incoming SFP doctor who just had undiagnosed ADHD👩🏼‍⚕️🩺🎉🎉🎉

@DrEilidhMaria Why are they wiping academic achievements from absolutely every part of becoming a doctor. Fair enough remove the EPM, I understand. Why remove intercalated degrees under the guise of helping the working class? Why now remove any academic merit you get for getting the SFP?

With regards to the new F1 deanery allocations I really do agree with it being randomised for many reasons. One being that our medical school didn’t emphasise the importance of our decile from year 1. Personally I only found out a lot later on which was far too late.

If anything intercalated degrees are the only thing you can do without having contacts. Just need loans/money which is probably easier to get than knowing the right people for better opportunities
