Really helpful video, thank you Dr. Ibrahim!! What if you are overqualified for CST, are you eligible for IST?

[@man_ish1234]

yes sir same question please

[@RoadToUK]

Thanks. If you are overqualified for CST, IST wouldn't possibly be any different. You'll have to check the person specifications for IST. If you have completed more than 18 months of surgical experience anywhere you'll not be able to apply for CST, but with equivalent competencies signed off you'll be able to apply for ST3 training.

Hey! You are doing amazing work. I have a bit of a situation at hand atm; I am on a Tier 2 visa working with a Bristol based Tech company, whilst my wife is an MS ENT doing her SRship with the same hospital. We are confused what pathway to choose, 1.MRCS -> GMC-> Applying directly for NHS registrar jobs (or SHO? Is it possible to get registrarship directly?) 2. Mch in Otorhinolaryngology at Edge hill and completing MRCS (I am hoping for her to atleast get the Part A done before the course starts) concurrently. Also, can the process of reaching the ST-7/8 (Consultant) be expedited? Or mandatory 5-6 Years of surgical medical training needs to be done before writing the FRCS exam?

Forexample if i have done Posgratduate Residency in General Surgery of 04 years in Pakistan...Then i will counted as over qualified ? Should i give MRCS or not ? if i pass MRCS then i will be eligible or not for surgical training in uk ? Waiting for ur kind reply.... Thankyou

[@omgthisimg1488]

Thank you for the wonderful video Doctor. As a final year medical student is it possible to achieve the criteria for the 'competitive edge'? For example will my seminars in class, surgical courses attended in my home country, audit during my internship, honours in my university exam still count if I get a certificate signed by my professors? Or only those signed by a UK consultant recognised? Thank you, Shams

Yes these things are all useful. It doesn't need to be signed by a UK consultant.

Thank you for this wonderful video , I have a question, I don’t know how will it sound , how difficult is it to get your Alternative certificate of core competencies form signed by your consult after starting non training job in Uk . Thank you

[@RoadToUK]

It's impossible to put a measure of this 'difficulty'. For some it may be really walk in the park as they quickly develop good professional relationship with the signatory consultant with their work and for some it may prove to be very difficult to achieve. So have a look at the latest form and plan and communicate well.

[@himangshuhazarika3]

1. After doing Post graduation (MS) in General Surgery in India which is a 3 year course, if I obtain MRCS and pass IELTS, can I join ST3 level directly in general surgery? 2. By doing the above, can I also join some other related specialty such as Surgical Urology at ST3?

[@JaskaranSingh-sd4sr]

Same question @doctor Ibrahim Do they take us for training jobs.....after postgraduation in india Or we have to do non training jobs there .....

[@RoadToUK]

As mentioned in the video, the pathway for you would be the red one, that is, you HAVE to get alternative core competencies signed off before you can apply for ST3 directly. Also as I said in the video, it will be unbelievable to get it signed off without ever working in the NHS. That being said, no non-UK training or experience will be automatically recognised as equivalent to CST. It will have to have all the components mentioned in the alternative certificate. If you can get alternative core surgical competencies and MRCS completed you can apply in any ST3 level of any surgical specialty.

1. You can't 'be in the UK' without a job. (provided you don't have a visa to stay and work otherwise). 2. There are still thousands of doctor job available in the NHS - but that doesn't mean they will just take anybody and everybody who just passed PLAB 2. You have to succeed in the job application, interview and recruitment process. If you can't succeed in that process, you will remain jobless.
