I spoke to a recruitment officer for medics in the Navy. She said you do your training in military hospitals post graduation and, for the Navy anyway, you do a six month placement on a boat.

Does that mean you'll be gmc certified after that and hence be able to work in any UK hospital after the 3 years?

Is it not 2-3 years of general duties post foundation years before specialty training for the Navy?



Service Medical Officers still do FY1 and FY2 the same as any doctor, so you'll get full registration after your F1 year.

Yeah the navy the RAF and the army all have general duties years. Those years will put you behind your counterparts in the NHS. I think the army is 2 years? I'd like to do it but not sure I want it to be my entire career. Anyone fancy a whatsapp group to discuss?

I've heard the QR in the mocks is a little harder. mock A QR was terrifically hard in my opinion.

It's not a terrible score! Have you looked at Bristol. They don't look at any exams and focus on other things. you need AAB in a level with A in chemistry though.

Are you taking the gamsat?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone could advise me. I don't have A-level/ Higher chemistry or biology for matter. I've had some offers and I'm wanting to catch up/ bring myself to a suitable level of knowledge in these areas before starting.

Could anyone advise areas and concepts of chemistry that would be beneficial to familiarise myself with before starting?
I understand this is a very broad question, nevertheless any information would be handy.

cheers peeps.

Hi...

A 2:2 could really limit you in terms of where you could apply. The Masters would reopen a few doors of you did well in that.

Funding for A101: self fund 3.5k, get 5.5k in loans for years 1-4 and an NHS fee contribution of 3.5k in years 2-4. Maintenance loan varies on personal circumstances but it's up to about 8k.

Funding for A100: self fund 36k and NHS will pay the fees for year 5. You can get the same maintenance loan as with A101.

The dyslexia/dyspraxia support would be the same as at your undergrad. Extra time, disability funding etc.

okay, thanks for that! I've just seen however, another thread that paying the first 3.5K is *******s? Is that actually true or untrue? Otherwise I have a lot of saving to do!!

Is there any specific masters that is prefered? I am thinking of doing Biomed, Public Health or Immunity.
