Will I Ever Escape?
Well, it would appear that I am destined to remain in Ashford, Kent for 1 more year. I have been offered a repeat FY2 scheme, rotating through General Surgery (colorectal), Microbiology, and Ophthalmology. The up side is that having finished a FY2 already this year, I will not be expected to attend all the "mandatory" FY2 teaching, and will be allowed to do other things at the time instead - like teaching students/juniors, or attending theatre/clinics.
Why do a repeat FY2? Well, like I've said before, as far as I am concerned, FTSTA posts are a career killer, and the only reason why any one with a brain cell should be doing them is for money to pay the bills. This repeat year offers me officially recognised training at a pre-ST level, so it will not affect my chances of applying for ST1. However, because of this "repeat time", it means I shall be more experienced (on top of the fact that I will already have an added 2 years post-PRHO on my colleagues), and will take the opportunity to "beef up" my CV more than ever before.
When I apply to ST1 next time, I aim to have them drooling over my application and regretting they never too me first time round.....
