There is no such thing like "specialization school" in UK. Training is workplace based. There is no access test either. For more information visit: http://www.mmc.nhs.uk/pages/home

These are the sort of people you have to aspire to be like if you want to get into cardiology. Their qualifications and publications is amazing:

Are you doing a bit of backdoor advertising? Cough-cough

**gimperial99** · 15-07-2008, 12:11 PM

Actually no. I heard about this last year. I was just very impressed when I read the biography. As you may know from my other posts, I like excellence in medicine, unlike many of the nurse managers who run the NHS. Sadly we are not being encouraged to thrive in our currently NHS workplace. Take a look at this:

Cardiology consultant

This guy is obviously bright. He trained in the UK, so why is he working in Canada? We are losing a lot of our best talent to Canada, because of the shit system that has been created in this country. I am always happy to point out excellence. I am a strong believer that every doctor who wants to achieve something needs to get a mentor.

Didn't realise you could be a registrar in different specialities or is that a thing of the past?

How do you mean?

I probably have very little understanding of it but I thought that you do your intern year (or did)-six months medical, six surgical. Then you are an SHO rotating around several different specialities and you stay as an SHO until you decide what speciality you want to do (and to pass exams etc). Then you become a reg and stay in that speciality unless something drastic happens and you change your mind. And then when you're good enough you become a consultant.

Or have I got that completely wrong?

In your man's CV, it looks like he was a reg in several different areas unless you have to try them all cos they're all connected to cardiology in some way?
