We continue to build on our Mentorship program and feel only encouraged at the interest being shown. Here's a link to the survey as mentioned in the video

Thanks a lot for comprehensively explaining everything😊
It would be amazing if you could invite any general surgery trainee/reg/sho to help viewers to get broader idea of other specialties from Drs in that field. Just my opinion for your channel to expand beyond orthopedics :) Regardless, great video and tips. Thank you 😊

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? Thanks a ton for all the information 😊
Please interview doctors from ENT background who had completed MRCS and currently working at UK from India . TIA

Hello sir I want to pursue MS ortho being a female. I'm very interested in the sports medicine or sports injury sector. But I'm confused about the fact that I should pursue Ms ortho followed by specialization in sports injury OR I should pursue sports medicine itself? I Want to travel to places with the teams too!.... Also I'm.preparing for PLAB SO SHOULD IT BE DROM UK OR INDIA In summary UK/INDIA? MS ORTHO/ SPORTS MEDICINE? I'm female So... Is it good career path??

Hi sirs I have completed my MBBS. When should i give MRCS part 1? Just after/along with my pg entrance exam or during residency? I want to do fellowship in arthroplasty and arthroscopy from UK or any other place abroad and then settle in India. How should i proceed? Can i directly do fellowship in arthroplasty after clearing MRCP? Is there arthroplasty and arthroscopy training in this Mch course? What would be a better route for me - Fellowship in plasty or Mch?

Finally i find right place for myself. 👏🏽👏🏽 I’m in the last year of my surgery residency. And i started to work for OET. İ want to work in UK as soon as possible.. I’m from Turkey (İstanbul) As I understand it, i can be a fellow (junior/senior) at first place. On your opinion What would be the most comfortable way for me to get the equivalence of specilty registar? For example if i can pass FRCS can i be a locum consultant in few years ? Or is it irrevelant ? should i definitely pass the mrcs exam ? İ dont want to be trainie again. Becouse i trust my eduction in T&O.. I have few more questions I would be very grateful if you could answer my questions and reach you privately. 👏🏽👏🏽

Hi Akgun, I perhaps understand where you are coming from as I trained outside of UK too. However, I would suggest that you take some time to understand how the system works for things like PLAB, MRCS and FRCS and you will realise that it is not possible to force the system or bend it to your liking easily. FRCS needs 3 referees and to get that takes a few years of working in the UK.

It's at least 6 years of experience and 3 surgeons. The number of surgeries is currently not a requirement but there are rumors that it might soon be. However, as I said, they are rumors !!

Hi arjav. Well spotted, but to clarify, the number of surgeries are not a prerequisite to sit the FRCS but they are certainly a requirement to get CCT - certificate of completion of training at the end of your training window. If you don't have those numbers, your training period will be extended. Passing the FRCS is another prerequisite to get CCT. That is what the message is.

Hello, all. Thanks all for this nice presentation. I have completed my D-Ortho and MRCS. Now, if i shift to UK will i get training post in ST3 (or working in SHO for 1 year), or I will join the non training pathway from the beginning? If, non training pathway can i start it in any post i am holding there? Is it tough to get training post? please give me a clear guideline brother. and do i need 2 year core training? or direct 6 years Orthopedics training from ST3-ST8? Thanks again.
