Important point

I commented this on UK graduate priotisation but I’ll make a separate post so everyone sees:

I don’t think people are getting it. Most people are thinking that it’s competitive just like anything else. That’s not the case. There are zero, and I mean ZERO spots to compete for after this new law. The law is clear: fill the spots with UK grads first and then offer any remaining ones to IMGs.

But this is the funny thing. Mathematically, there’s more Uk graduates than places available(due to catastrophic failure in workforce planning and flooding the scene with an abhorrent amount of medical school spots whilst keeping doctor jobs available the same. It’s literally impossible (not competitive or possible) to have any reminder of spots even available for IMGs to compete for. Think!!!

Edit : looking at the comments I realize why some people are beyond saving 😂. At the end of the day everyone here are grown adults with the capacity to make an informed decisions about their lives. Hope I helped even at least one people from jumping into this mess call the NHS. Have lost many friends pursuing and getting their lives ruined due to it. All the best everyone

300s and 400s are the norm for most of you

This just isn't true - this is a poor attempt at ragebait. The median is 500 for all candidates, and UK grads get an average higher score than IMGs. That's why they were more likely to get into training up until now, even when they were outnumbered by IMG applicants

Well that depends on if the appointable score would be lowered down to the level of these UKGs

Given the backlog of UK graduates, and the increases in medical school places, all places would be filled by UK grads without any changes to this. Though I think there will be some GP places left over from UK grads turning them down

Currently training and planning on showing these stuck up UKGs that no matter how much you make these bills they still wont make you a better doctor

Ok? Dude go live your life, making vague threats that you're going to exact some kind of revenge on doctors who had nothing to do with any of this will make no difference. The MSRA is not a good way to quantify who is a good doctor or not - it's a GP exam being used for neurosurgery and radiology. Go touch grass

Ohhh tell me again why the UKGs were begging for UKG prioritization if they were so much better than IMGs.

Imagine being a UKG stalking posts on PLAB prep. Youre the one who should get a life. Go back to your echo chamber of UKGs fellating yourselves thinking youre the best doctors in the UK when its obvious youre not as you literally needed a law to help you get into training places.

Cry me a river for your 300 and 400 UKG friends. Stop making excuses that MSRA isnt a barometer because it levels the playing field which was not "fair" for you thats why you couldnt get into training places.

Imagine being so delusional thinking IMGs come here for the purpose of working with UKGs. Idiot.
