only pgy1 atm, definitely better work life balance compared to my friends who went back. even in my worst surgical rotation I still worked less than my sg friends 27 days leave (excluding public hol), increases more per year in NHS, max 12.5h shift, absolute max 72h work week medical jobs 9-5, surgical about 8-530, no calls. either 3 x 12.5h shift Fri-Sun or 4 x 12.5 shift Mon-thur slower pace of life (except London), good outdoors pay similar to sg until consultant level lot of inefficiency is probably the annoying thing, electronic notes is slowly coming into place, maybe 20% of hospitals have it now. most nurses cant take bloods or IVs is also another annoying thing a lot of understaffing if you work more north, but probably still easier than sg workload lot of moving around the country unless your cv is good to keep staying in same region winter is dam sian, but spring and summer is really shiok I guess nice thing is you can prescribe/order tests, dont need to worry about patient's ability to pay, most patients are grateful lot of pros and cons, new law in 2019 means IMG can try any specialty, last time only got chance in IM, psych, GP. loads of brits still run away to aus/NZ. try to match in US maybe if not aiming something too competitive maybe try australia for even better work life balance - 38h/week give UK a shot if want specialise something competitive. post consultant CCT can work a lot of places too, know some msians just sticking out till post-CCT then move out of UK |

Having worked in both countries, I would say Aus is not much different from Singapore except Aus workload is better (possibly the best in the world that's why UK grads going to Aus in droves)/training time longer. |
I am a UK-trained radiologist, interviewing (presumably for assoc consultant job) with one of the public hospitals in singapore next week/month.
I wonder if anyone been through the same process? I will be most grateful if any of you could shed some lights. Many thanks! |

Specialist training is of course shorter in the US. But most of us here won't get used to violence/ shooting cases over there. |

Brits go there to do SHO/MO level jobs which are more available than internship |

Singaporeans should think why list of recognised medical schools shortened again and again. Singaporeans should(or must) apply for Australia PR while studying medicine in Australia. |
