How frustrating.

I went to my registrar interview in Northampton yesterday. As you'll recall, I'd worried about the cash side of things, since it was (very vaguely) advertised as an 8-5 job (ie, no out of hours cash suppliment). But when I visited back on Monday the Consultant raised the prospect of me doing part of the SHO general surgery on-call to make up the cash. Fine, not ideal, but fine.

Okay, so, I go to the interview. I do well. Very well. They offer me the job. No out-of-hours. No suppliment. 15k pay cut. Which is just not affordable.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!

I had to turn down a Registrar job! :(

Thanks. It's SO bloody annoying tho'! It was heartbreaking to sit there, with them offering me the job, and both them and me knowing I'd have to turn it down!

Sorry to hear it...

Damn. Is this likely to be the course of things? Do registrars less commonly do on-call? Hope not - it would make the prospect VERY difficult!

No, it's almost unheard of!
