Hi all,
My GPST1 starting in Aug has its ST1 year solely in GP practices, whole of ST2 in hospital and then ST3 back in GP land.
Is this normal? I thought ST1 was in hospital setting?
Top tips for starting on GP? What is expected of you as a ST1 in the GP setting?
Thanks.
The last round of strikes began a month ago today, and since then it feels like there’s been complete silence. No announcements about further strike dates, barely any updates on negotiations, and very little communication overall.
Is anyone else worried we’re losing momentum here?
A lot of people were engaged during the last rounds of IA, but without updates it’s hard to know what the plan actually is. Are negotiations progressing? Have talks stalled? Is more action likely? Even regular communication from the BMA would help keep people informed and motivated.
Interested to hear what others think:
- Should more strikes already have been announced?
- What sort of timeline makes sense for the next round?
- Does the current silence risk people becoming disengaged?
- Or is this just a normal quiet period while negotiations happen behind the scenes?
Feels strange going from constant discussion and mobilisation to almost nothing.
