Unbelievable. 18 months after the exam sitting in question, the RCP have released this ⬇️
It’s a bit of a pattern, following the PA fiasco: RCP London finding yet another way to screw their own trainees.
People made life & job decisions based on those exam results THE YEAR BEFORE LAST 😡

Vaccines work.
Masks work.
Lockdowns are sometimes necessary.
Access to affordable healthcare/medicines is a human right.
Immigrants are generally an asset.
Equality/Diversity/Inclusion policies are a good idea.
Abortion is sometimes needed to save life.
Keep saying these things. Truth is important.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.
So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Irish equivalent of the GMC says it’s not the appropriate regulator for anyone other than Doctors
GMC had the same view in 2014 as the UK ‘Independent’ Regulator of Doctors
However it was ‘persuaded’ by UK Govts not long after Charlie Massey joined in 2016 🤔
