How to create a good NHS Profile ?
New NHS is asking for UK pincode , India postcode is not accepted , so what should be done ? Please help me with this .
Good communication
Thank you! 😊
Great video .... I'm a fourth year med student and I just wanted to know that do distinctions and supplies and MBBS marks matter in CV.... Cuz I've heard it from some people that it does and some say it doesn't!
Great question Abdullah. Having a distinction matters to a small extent. You get a couple of points for it. However in my personal opinion they don't matter. You are better off focusing your efforts on research, audits, teaching projects, or even innovations but marks are the last thing medical students should worry about.
Thank you for the informative video
Because im interested in trauma would be better if i tool ATLS instead of ACLS ?
If you do get into core surgical training then the trust sponsor's your atls. And atls is one of the more pricier courses. So I don't recommend doing it before hand.
It’s really good doctor, I got my registration last year,yet not secure any job . I am really got so frustrated and exhausted .
Hey I'm sorry to hear about that. Hang in there and don't give up. Keep building your cv and applying. You just need one yes. It will make the 100 nos worth it!
Great video! But unfortunately, emailing a consultant is not the easiest way to get a clinical attachment because almost always consultants dont even reply.
Sooooo true its easy to make a video 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you doctor great video. One question, without the clinical attachment, how much longer would you say it took for you compared to your colleagues to land a job? I’m afraid I might not be able to do an attachment financially and I’m afraid of this being a big problem. Thank you
Don't worry about it then. There are other ways to improve your CV. Keep in a clinical role. Try to do an audit or research or gain teaching experience in the background. Stay persistent. 👍
Excellent explanation
Thank you! 😊
Hi, i have two clinical attachments in the UK, one at the start of final year and one just after. It’s been two months since I’m applying and I’m a bit discouraged. Are these even helpful?
I'm sorry to hear that. The application process takes some time. 2 months is still very early. Keep trying. And like I said the process is multifactorial. Doing an elective doesn't guarantee you a spot it just increases your chances. I had to apply for several months and go through tons of rejections before securing my first job. It happens to all of us. Keep the faith and continue to build your CV. Your time will come too.
Hello guys
Any ideas for a simple audit/article junior doctor level to improve CV ?
The easiest publications would be doing a case report.
Simple audit ideas include ones on oxygen prescription, IV fluid prescription, and ward rounds
Does the participants of any of my presentations have to fillup the teaching feedback form manually in a print out copy (Hard copy)and then i will scan it and make it pdf?
Or they can fill up the form by downloading in a soft copy version?
R will i have to attached this form with my CV or just have to mention my presentation / teaching experience and when they will ask to show evidence than i will have to show them?
Plz enlighten me.
They can either manually fill it in on or electronically. You don't need to send them with your CV but if they ask for evidence then you can always upload it.
Is it essential to have one's name appear as either the first or second author in research, such as a meta-analysis, or is it acceptable to be listed as the fourth or fifth author?
Yes acceptable. Depends on how many points you want on your training application. First author carries more points.
Will taking a training of trainers course in my country count as a teaching qualification?
Hi reemghorab. I can't say sorry. Teach the teacher does have points on IMT application but I don't know if the one from your country meets the standards offered by the one in the UK. Perhaps ask a senior who has taken it and used it in their IMT application successfully.
How to book for ALS in uk? Any websites available for that?

Hello kindly tell how to get a bls course done which is acceptable by nhs
You would have to come to the UK to take one that is resusUK certified. Unless your current country offers a resusUK certified course.
Hi I am working as MO in a private hospital in Periphery in Pak .. but this hospital doesnot have a website .. if i get a certificate of experience from this hospital will it be considered valid to fill my gap period between post housjob and Plab .. please can someone guide
I don't see why not. It's at the gmc's discretion really. But sounds fine to me.
Hi Dr. Is it possible to get microbiology/biotechnology job in nhs. I got admission for biotechnology in Greenwich. Pls help, how to get job in uk
Sorry I have no experience in biotech or microbio. So I can't say. But we do have microbiologists in the NHS. All jobs are advertised on NHSjobs so you should be able to view them there.
Great video, but can you please make video on which job to choose after plab 2, non training or training what to chose , ????? And if we start non training job how long its take to get our crest form signed and switch into training job ?????
Great suggestion. Will put it on my list. Briefly it depends on whichever you want to go with. In the past I would've recommended non-training first and you could've gotten your crest signed off in 3 months or more depending on how fast you could demonstrate your competencies. However now I'd suggest apply for both training and non training and start whichever one you get first. You'll notice the waiting is so long that it's less of a choice and more of a take what you get.
@@drwajih32 and does doing MPhil or masters in home country adds any weightage in our cv ?
Yes it certainly does @chroniclesofmedicine774
Can you please make video on msra exam , I have herd it helps a lot in securing training job . Especially if you wanna secure gp training
Yes ofcourse. Its on my list. @@chroniclesofmedicine774
What If I have one year teaching experience letter from the medical college but I didn’t collect evidence from my students
Is that alright or evidence from the students is a must thing?
It's hard for me to say. Different specialties have different requirements on what they consider as acceptable. Core surgical training for example is very specific on the kind of evidence they accept. You don't need the individual feedback from the students though.
do we need to have any post house job experience in pakistan to get first job in uk
No.
Hey...!! Can you please share for a biomedical science student jobs in nhs as a student...?
Hi there. You can browse nhs jobs to check if any jobs are available in your specific category.
Hello doctor, it's a very informative video which will help a lot of IMGs. Doctor I have teaching experience of 1 year in a para medical college, will this experience help in anyway in building my CV?
Yes it will. I would advise you to gather as much evidence as you can with regards to your teaching experience. Have a consultant or professor fill out a teaching observation form. Get feedback form your students as well as evidence.

@@drwajih32 thank you for your valuable advice
We know ACLS by AHA is valid for 2 years. Can we use it even if it expires or it has to be within valid period? Please reply
Hi Kazhupeo. Sorry it has to be in valid limits.
what if i dont have clinical attachment? i just cant afford clinical attachment
It's alright. That's just one of the many things that you can do to boost your cv. Clinical experience, teaching, research, audits, exams. Focus on the things you can do. 👍
Does making video explaining or teaching a certain disease like HTN or diabetes and so in a youtube channel considered a teaching experience? and if I have youtube channel should I mention it or it will be useless?
And if someone who don't have any teaching experience could he do that instead like open youtube channel and begin talking about specific diseases and so?
So I'm not sure about this myself sorry.
How Nurses can apply for NHS job from Pakistan (RN)? What early preparation need?
Hi Muhammad. Great question. The process is essentially the same. NHSjobs is the website that health professionals use to apply for healthcare roles from outside the UK.
www.jobs.nhs.uk/new_nhs_jobs_website.html
If it isn't personal I'm curious about how many applications you sent through before you could secure your first job and how long it took?
If I remember correctly I had sent around 157. Took me about 5 months.
Hello Dr Wajih. how much is your take home salary and designation?
I am working in casualty of a government Hospital in India as a medical officer since 7 years. At what level I can get a job in NHS. Designation? And Basic Pay would be ?
Hi Gaurav. I started at the most basic level. Right after FY1 (housejob) as an SHO. My take home after tax salary was 2000£. With 7 years experience you could potentially get a job as a medical registrar with a take home salary of 4100£ per month. This is excluding locum shifts and after taxes. Ofcourse I am just speculating based off what you have told me. The numbers vary widely based on several factors. But just to give you an idea.
Have a read through this article to get a deeper understanding:

Hi Bro! so the RMO jobs in Karachi does not help in NHS as a clinical experience?
They count towards experience so you'd be able to negotiate a higher salary. But my personal advise would be to try get a job as a teacher or a research assistant instead of an rmo.
@@drwajih32 Really? I was under the impression that clinical experience counts much more than non clinical experience in the UK? That's what people on the IMG groups on Facebook were saying.
@@amnaahmad7662 It's not like clinical experience doesn't count. That counts but there are other things that matter more. Landing a first job in the NHS is easiest if you have done a clinical elective in UK. Because then you are able to get a good recommendation from a consultant who already works there. This matters so much.
I emphasize on teaching and research because you will see them pop up everywhere on person specifications. Having these things will count towards your residency application as well so it's a double plus.
It might just be my personal experience and that of my seniors but these were the things I found most trusts wanted out of their applicants.
can i get a job through NHS as a molecular technologist?
Sorry that's not my domain. You can try searching for what you do on this website and see if something comes up:
www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/search
Hi sir
I'm registered nurse from india and now preparing oet but any other way can start any nhs job?
You do need to meet the English language requirement some how inorder to work in the UK. The GMC has laid out their requirements. I'm not sure what the NMC requires out of nurses. Might be worth a read on their website to find out what sort of evidence they accept and are there any alternatives to taking the ielts/oet.
What about MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY
Hi Rehman. I'm not sure how the process would work for medical lab techs sorry.
Please tell me how to use teaching feedback form. How many students you should give these form. Are they filled online or you give them printed. How it is proven that it is filled by your student
So you can take feedback from as many students as you want. No set rules. And show the feedback to the consultant in your home country. They then write up a letter on any official letter head stating they have analysed your feedback forms and can verify you participated in the mentioned teaching activity.
@@drwajih32 thanks alot. As this teaching form doesn't show any name of student. And Can we ask students to fill this online and than we can print it
Yes you can.
Does a digital feedback like on google forms valid?
Sorry I'm not sure if a generic form is valid or not. But generally people use the feedback form available on the GMC website.
@@drwajih32 are those the ones you have put in the description box?
Jazak Allah khair Dr.Wajih
Sir i wanted to ask how do we present all of this experience i mean like multiple of these stuff ? For example if i have so many of the teaching feedback forms
How do we exactly present them
Do we have to compile them in a file or something?
Hi Nazia. A good way to compile all your teaching is to get a consultant to write a letter mentioning the topics you taught and dates you taught on. If they personally witnessed all then that's great. If they didn't then they can mention that they have reviewed the participant feedback you provided. Hope that helped. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
How do I provide evidence of audit?
Letter from consultant stating your participation in an audit.
And the final audit PowerPoint presentation.
Does teaching online counts??
Sorry i'm not sure about that myself. You could teach online but you need evidence of feedback as well. So if you normally do teach online get some of the audience to fill out a teaching feedback form available on the gmc website for all your lectures so you can provide evidence if asked to.
DOES THE FEEDBACK FORM SHOULD BE HANDWRITTEN BY STUDENTS OR WE CAN SEND THE FILE AND THEY CAN TYPE THE FEEDBACK ??
AND DOES 1 STUDENT FEEDBACK IS ENOUGH?
WHAT IF WE DONT HAVE ANY TEACHING CERTIFICATE BUT WE CAN ALWAYS ASK PARAMEDICS OF NURSE TO FILL THE FORM FOR US ? WILL THAT COUNT IN CV?
PLEASE CLEAR MY QUERIES SIR!
Hi Kushal. Great questions.
1) Feedback can be either typed or written. Upto you.
2) Consultant feedback is more valuable than individual feedback for CV purposes. That can be done using a teaching observation form. 1 student feedback is fine as well but the more the better for your self development purpose.
3) Yes nurses and paramedics can give feedback.
@@drwajih32 thankyou for clarification sir! 🙏
So which form to download? Any Link ?
Hello sir , do you offer 1: 1 sessions ?
Not at the minute. But we are trying to come up with something along those lines if enough people request it. What would you be hoping to achieve from a 1:1 session if you don't mind me asking?
Well, first you need to have no respect for bodily autonomy. Being a psychopath also helps.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do try my best
Hii
Hello friend.
@@drwajih32 you mean ur cousin
