@UKFtPNews Yes but they have also given a harsh decision regarding the candidates who have reached their 5 year limit during pandemic,not offering them any place in future exams..destroying their future and putting them in imense amount of mental stress..so unfair!!!
Hear from our members in the latest 'BASW Blog', about a social worker crucial role to bring sexual predators in Nottingham to justice...here's to all the work that goes on behind the scenes by social workers that doesn't get mentioned in the press...basw.co.uk/media/news/202…

Thrilled to hear that two more members of our group have received no case to answer due to thorough and appropriate reflection and remediation - the power of peer to peer support can not be underestimated. @learnnotblame
@UKFtPNews @nmcnews yes have seen it - hoping for improvement to final standard & seeing improve for registrants re comms, evidence gathering/presentation & length of investigations. Felt report could be more neutral around ALL in contact during FtP rather than just the "public" @prof_standards
Report / investigation could be more neutral re ALL affected during FtP rather than just the "public" angle - we raised needing to review the training of FtP personal and the impact of pupillage students on fairness and equality of case presentation recently with @prof_standards

We're wishing the very best of luck to everyone taking the @TheGPhC registration assessment this week.
Good luck to everyone sitting the registration assessment tomorrow. Remember that switching off is just as important as revision. Eat a nutritious dinner, take some time out for #selfcare and make sure you get a good night’s sleep! You’ve got this. bit.ly/Prereg-assessm… 💚
@UKFtPNews Important to note that lots of doctors whose performance in GMC Performance Assessment is noted to be “unacceptable” or a “cause for concern” do not get erased!
I find this inexplicable. Certainly if a #registered #health #professional acted to not follow recommended practices (in this case #vaccination) their #fitnesstopractice & continued #registration might be questioned.
Only 55% of the city’s firefighting force has shown up to receive a coronavirus shot, a lower number than originally announced - LAFD latimes.com/california/sto… Only 1,842 of the roughly 3,400 rank and file firefighters have volunteered to be inoculated since shots started Dec. 28th
Indeed besides the needed balance between #mentalHealthStigma and #fitnessToPractice, there are also personal choices any physician who suffered from mental illness and/or addiction should make to get the best for self and loved ones from their training on the career front.1/
@TaleSpinning @DrFulli @clairemccarrick The tweet (mine) was about how to - indeed whether to - advise. I was an in-patient, I became a psychiatrist, and am in interested in doctor health & well-being. I would always encourage people - but sometimes this may not be the best for them. Not about stigma or competence
2/3 Worrying that @GOC_UK wanted to stop this info being disclosed to me 👀 How could it not be in the public interest to be made aware of reasons for deciding complaints that lead to CE’s 2019 decision to refer #OpticalExpress to #FitnessToPractise hearing suddenly not valid!
