I think this guy might be a genius. Sometimes you see people and think how are they able to do so much and at a high level and then I think, they're a genius. Fair play.
Thank-you for your news Ollie!!! Best to you!!! Your videos put a face to what is going on in medicine today and why our public services need more funding (taxing) to better serve the public!!! Its a disgrace and shameful how the NHS has been put in a position of 7.7 million on the waiting lists. I'm sure before this Parliament is through, theyll be more than 8.0 million on the waiting lists....
Hey Ollie! Huge congrats for starting your F3 at Queen Square, I hope it all goes well! I regularly watch your videos, and I'm very excited for you! I'll be doing my SSC as a final year in Nov/Dec at Queen Square, if I can manage will pop in to say hi! Best of luck!!!
Hi Ollie, FY2 here with some interviews coming up for Neurosurg CDF posts in London. Appreciate your offer to reach out and am doing so in the hope we can trade some tips!
So glad to hear back from you Ollie. I'm a 2nd year med student in the UK. If there are any opportunities that you deem will be helpful for me, be sure to reply. Would love to hear from you. Regards.
Agreed. F3 year is dead as a chance to earn enough money to buy a house - instead it’s now a chance for hospitals to employ local grace FY3 for half the cost saturating the SHO locum market
Big problem is the lack of training posts available, so a huge chunk of F2s are being forced to take an F3 (and saturating the market) rather than it being a choice to make more money.
Hi, current foundation doctor here, please can you make a video on how to apply for these roles, there's not much info online and they seem really competitive, really trying to decide what to do for my fy3 year
Hey Ollie, regular FY1, just started - really interested in Neurosurg and in the process of arranging a taster period for it, that being said NO idea how to become competitive come time to apply for an NTN - WHERE DO I START? Any thoughts would be appreciated
Would think about it. Unfortunately at this point there's still a large security problem with that, whereas with an NTN you're more or less guaranteed to CCT eventually. I'll give myself 3 goes for a neurosurgery NTN and then pivot to something else at that point is current plan if it doesn't work out.
@@geocachingwomble Not the lifestyle I want for myself unfortunately. ED much more managerial and general than any specialty I want to be involved in. Looks very exciting but I want to be much more of a subspecialist/proceduralist than a generalist.
Hi Ollie, doesn't neurosurgery have one of the most competitive selection ratios?? Best of luck mate! I wonder how many GPs had that dream once... humour aside, I wanted to ask about the academic programme worth it? Based on market and recruitment trends... and future career prospects. Thank you for all the informative materie!

Thank you! You too!

The Locum market is dead unfortunately. I was naive thinking id easily get a nice cushy locum and now im left unemployed...

Hey Ollie, will you make a video about the FY2 pay compared to FY1?
Yep absolutely, it's on the cards
Thanks, I love your videos!

Read this www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7452085/.
If you should (unluckily) fail to get an NTN, and become ineligible to apply to ST1, would you ever consider doing a CESR in neurosurgery?
Would think about it. Unfortunately at this point there's still a large security problem with that, whereas with an NTN you're more or less guaranteed to CCT eventually.

@@OllieBurtonMedThanks for your insight Dr, good luck with your applications.
@@OllieBurtonMedif you don’t want get into the subspecialist training for neurosurgery though and qualify out have you considered emergency medicine

It certainly does, it's about 15:1 or something similar. Not quite as bad as cardiothoracics so silver linings!

How are you not chronically fatigued with that schedule
I am
