One more question: Heard SG Drs work 80-100 hrs/wk. Can't be true in a polyclinic setting, right? What if I have to apply to MOHH for an MO job? Would that mean I'd have to go through MOPEX with rotas of 80-100 hrs/wk (with allowances/stipend), at least until I secure a polyclinic placement?

You can apply for an MO position with MOHH but that essentially means you have wasted the past 4 years in the UK (FY2+ 3 years of GP training).

Because anyone who completes FY1(or the equivalent of HO year) and returns to SG will get paid the same as you.

So practically you have wasted your 4 years.

Those of your peers who went back to SG after FY1 are probably on their way to full reg now, but you are just joining as a baby MO under conditional reg
