In 2023 the competition rate for UK Orthopaedic ST3 interviews was 3.0:1. This means that for every 3.0 applicants, 1 was successfully appointed to a registrar post. 72% of those who applied were interviewed and 46% of those interviewed were successfully appointed.

I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay.
Turns out, the GMC do not pay tax. They class doctors' fees as charity.

If someone rolls a pair of dice you can’t predict which number will come up but you can absolutely predict the long-term average results and how the average will shift if someone loads the dice.

Matt goes to the heart of it. With current measurement technology and state-of-the-art computers it is still impossible to predict the weather more than a few days ahead. Yet these same people, with the same technology, think they can model long term climate change. They can't.

We have revoked the derogation granted to Weston General Hospital. It has become apparent that both the BMA and NHS England were misled over the level of staffing cover. Either local management were unaware they had sufficient senior cover, or they deliberately misled us.
