Hello All,

I know its 2 years (Gosh) since I fell off the VTS but hopefully a few
of the oldies might still remember me.

Its been a mad couple of years. After VTS I did the Liverpool DTM&H
followed by some months in Eastern Chad with Medecins-Sans-Frontieres,
and then some General Practice in London- from Southall aka

Hi everyone

We (the PCME's) would be interested in hearing your feedback about the
VTS. As you may be aware, Michael and Bill are leaving us in the
summer and there will be some new PCME's coming in to join us. We

Hi
Jim and I did a session based on the nMRCGP on Thursday morning. The
overall aim of it was to (hopefully) make it clearer for you all what
you have got to do and when. We had a Q&A session which seemed to
answer most of your queries but we're aware that some we couldn't
answer yet. For me the take home message was that yes it's a bit

R7 (or have signed your contract for Reg year) before April 1st... YOU

Travel Allowance

iridone...@yahoo.co.uk — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 12:06:34 UT

Guys...
Helen (PM at Caxton) has been doing some digging around. The
allowance has not been totally lost. There is a small amount which
should be received for using your car to get to work and home. Also
there should be a certain amount you get for miles covered during home
visits. Previously we used to get a set amount of around £375 which

Registrar Pay

iridone...@yahoo.co.uk — Mon, 08 Aug 2007 15:17:41 UT

Correct me if I am wrong guys... but as far as I was aware, Alan
Woodall had made this huge effort to oppose the 65% to 55% pay
supplement cut in GPR pay. The last I heard... we had email
correspondence from Mr Wilkinson at the deanery (the message was
posted on SVTS) saying if Registrars applied before a certain date

regular night out?

rachel_brin...@hotmail.com (rachel) — Sun, 07 July 2007 07:34:37 UT

Me and Suds and a few others were wondering if people would be
interested in a monthly night out. We were thinking that we could move
it around the county so it isn't always in Shrewsbury. The suggestion
so far is 2nd Wednesday of each month. We want to start it in August
if possible so it's up and running for the new people. What do people

Books

ch...@doctors.org.uk (Charlotte) — Tue, 06 June 2007 19:51:40 UT

Hi,
We did a session last Thursday lunchtime on books. Below is a list of
the books that came up for discussion. I've tried to put them in
categories so you have a bit of an idea what they're about. Feel free
to add any others that you really enjoyed.
CLASSICS:
Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Night out!

amfidd...@doctors.org.uk (AFid) — Fri, 06 June 2007 21:48:05 UT

Us old timers (Me, Annica, Neil and Fed) were wondering whether
anybody would be up for a few drinks and maybe a meal next thursday
to celebrate booting us off the vts. Don't worry, if you don't turn up
it'll be taken as an instant snub! Any takers?
