Q&A for Road to the Royal College: Insights from UK-Based Filipino Specialist Doctors

There is a small but growing community of Filipino medical professionals practicing in the UK, a handful of which are either consultants or those in specialty training programs. This webinar aims to inform, guide and inspire other Filipino doctors who want to explore different specialties in the UK. Thus, we have invited Filipino doctors currently in various training programs — Paediatrics, General Practice, Pyschiatry, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Surgery and Medicine— to share their experiences. We hope to see you there!

If you're still back home, evidence of skills, audits/QIPs, research and teaching presentations signed off by your consultant will be helpful. A well-written and strong CV or application form is usually aligned with the JCF/SCF post qualifications, once shortlisted the next focus is surpassing the interviews.

If you're currently in the UK, aside from gathering evidence from the Ph, clinical attachments will give you an opportunity to be proactive in the Paeds dept of the trust/hospital. Doing an audit and a teaching presentation with feedback will also strengthen your portfolio. Apart from this, attending lectures/conferences is a plus like Resus UK EPALS/APLS, Safeguarding Level 1/2/3 courses and/or attending free teaching lectures with certificates of attendance will strengthen your application form. There are courses from the RCPCH website that you can register to for a fee. Hope this is helpful now that I've written it down after a good think! :)

yes, there are. :) Back in 2022, most I know were offered a job post after CA after confirming they have passed their PLAB 2 exam. Dynamics may have changed over the past few years which is why most speakers mention their timeline because it does matter.

Doc for PSYCH core training i heard as a CT1 you are the ward monkey - is that true - you will be the one running to do all the bloods, ECG and the nurses don't help but sit down and drink tea.

Just in general, it can depend per Trust and even depend per department. Some Trusts may have a more supportive environment than others.

Hi doc - MRCPsych exam is super hard i heard - it's like 30-40% for Paper A. What happens if you can't pass the paper - how many times do people normally take to pass MRCPsych. if u did residency in PH - can you go directly to ST4 if you also do MRCPsych and pass it or do you need to go back to CT1 .

There are unfortunately no options to do this at the moment as clinical attachments are usually hospital-based

there are many ways to approach Master's while in training. It can also be split into PG Cert, PG Dip, and eventually Master's. So you don't have to do your master's in one go. You can also do LTFT (less than full time) if you want to further accommodate master's.

Hi doc! Would you recommend applying straight to a GP training post or going through FY2 first to get a grasp of the healthcare system? PS. I haven’t had any clinical attachments yet. I’m kind of scared of being lost if I go straight to training right away.

I have met an OB consultant from the Philippines who went to GP practice in the UK. From what I can recall, she took the same path like most of us did which is taking the PLAB, and MSRA.
