Changing Trust : Preparation and Action

-

 

This is for experience sharing as one of the IMG doctors. 


1. From ESR 

- download all payslips and P60.

- Update your new address on ESR so that they send you your P45.

- It takes 3 to 5 weeks for the trust payroll department to send u P45.


2. Request a letter from HR confirming employment dates, your name and position, and that you didn't take any unauthorized leaves (For ILR application later, we need 5 years of record) 

= call be known as Absence leave letter

- If possible, mention dates of annual leave. OTHERWISE don't worry. e.g.

-Dr. XYZ has worked from (date) to (date) as SHO/JCF/REG/consultant in the department of XYZ in (hospital/trust name) and all his/her leaves are authorized and paid


3. Download your completed and signed appraisal. 


4. Download your record of mandatory learning 

  - This help to save time, you need no-repeat the training twice. 

  - There should be a record of completion and expiration date.  

  - Get it from your old trust, and submit it to your new trust. 


5. Request your occupational health records.

  - Keep it in a good record, with your vaccination history. 


6. Do enhance DBS

This is my experience sharing.  Please refer to the official website for more information.   I did my e-ALS on 1st July 2022.  Main pages https://www.resus.org.uk/training-courses/adult-life-support/e-als-advanced-life-support How to book? As far as I knew there are 2 methods: 1. Go to resus.org.uk website Scroll to the lower bottom to search the place and get the contact details.  https://www.resus.org.uk/training-courses/adult-life-support/e-als-advanced-life-support     Tips : Try to email several organizers after you found your desirable time and place.  The price could be varied (factors to consider: travel distance/cost, and location).  2. Book within your trust Tips : You need to plan ahead and book as soon as possible. The slot is usually fully booked quite easily.  Tips : Could be a lot cheaper to do in your trust ( if no rush and your trust provide ALS, I will suggest you do it under your trust. Some trust provides their staff...

My NHS Interview Experience

-
I got two interviews.  I accepted one of the offers and I stop applying for jobs.  Congratulations to receive the job interview. An overview of NHS interview.   Usually, it starts with  introducing yourself (tell about your cv),  then clinical and ethics questions,  last Questions, and Answers.   Usually, each interview took 15-20mins time only .  You should be precise.  > Some interviews could email you beforehand and request you to prepare with a presentation/ teaching. Some interviews could be face to face.          *I received an invitation for an interview face to face.

Things that you should do as soon as possible after arrived in UK for your first job

This is my personal experience.  I feel lost at the beginning of this tunnel.  These articles aim to help IMG to figure out what to do, as an outline of reference.  The detail of trust or local induction will not be discussed here. Very important 1. Occupational health clearance -date will be given, take blood for hep, MMR, TB (IGRA) - varies with trust/ local policy - Most trusts allow the new starter to work only after the occupational clearance. Some trust does allow you to start the observation/ shadowing without it.  - The test takes one day (just go to take your blood), the appointment may take one week to book, the result could be out in 1 to 2week's time depending on trust.  Tips : Try to book as soon as possible. Make a plan for it.  2. Accommodation  My experience of first accommodation:  https://helenngjourney.blogspot.com/2022/03/first-accommodation-in-uk.html Tips : This is very important. You will need to have proof of address to pro...
