@UKFPO @UKFPO many students agree with your decision overall (as do I) but also think that it is unfair to bring this in for the currently intercalating cohort (‘23 graduates) - will you reconsider this and potentially delay to 2024 or 25

Extremely disappointed to see that SFP will become randomised from 2025. Not only does this discredit many students’ hard work, it is hugely damaging to the future of clinical academia and discourages potential research excellence. I strongly hope the decision makers reconsider.

Yes, medicine is competitive. But it’s also a choice. It’s a choice to keep things to yourself because of ‘competition’ vs signposting and helping others. ✨ We have nothing to lose (& much to gain) by helping our peers become the best possible doctors they can!
