Last month I had £500 deducted for student loan, despite paying off my loan in 2020. Payroll admitted they ticked a wrong box but won’t correct it without SLC confirming I’m paid up. Cue hours of phone calls to sort out & beg for a refund.
This month they’ve deducted £600. 🤦🏼♂️

Congrats to BOTP, @BOrthoNet and especially course organiser @humerus_af on running a successful ST3 interview course (for the 5th year in a row!).
The best attendance that we have had yet - and really great candidates. Hopefully we’ll see some of them joining BOTP in August🤞🏻

Suggesting sexual assault is a “normal” part of a job is utterly detestable and this man is a disgrace to our profession. The Times should be ashamed for condoning this.

In just over a week I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for orthopaedic research charity Joint Action; I would be massively grateful for any donations, large or small, to help meet my target!
Thank you to everyone who has donated already!
