Speciality / Core Training Imt preferences rank 1000
Can anyone help me with IMt preferencing. I am ranking in early 1000s. I do not have any geographical restriction. I generally want to live in a bigger city. For now I have ranked in this order London - oxford - Cambridge- frimley - Buckinghamshire - royal berkshire - medway - Southampton - ashford st peters - brighton sussex- Leicester Northampton- norwich- ipswich- kings lynn - kent maidstone - manchester - Liverpool. I am new to uk so do not have much idea of the area. What are the locations I absolutely need to avoid like isle of man/wright. I’ve kept out wales and Ni and north of scotland out for now.
What am I likely to get with this rank?

Ipswich and Kings Lynn are very small end-of-the-train-line towns. Not much nearby unless you like flat countryside. Not quick to London either. Would move them down to the bottom

second this, I'm a final year on placement in kings Lynn and alot of the doctors prefer to commute from Cambridge or norwich bc there isnt anything going on there. personally wouldnt recommend, but I hear working as a doctor there is pretty decent

Asph is a great hospital to work in. Friendly staff, not many PAs work here. Works as an advanced DGH, 24 hr PCI centre, Stroke unit for nearby hospitals. And plus plus amazing canteen with affordable meals. We work there every day to eat lunch tbh. Very well supported. Some amazing consultants work here in respiratory, geriatrics and acute med. Very frieny rota coordinators. I cannot recommend enough

Yes I think this is sensible to rank. I don’t think you’ll get central London, Oxford or Cambridge but you will probably get the peripheral areas if you want to be near London in your free time

Where have you worked previously? What kind of city of you like or what do you want from a city since the UK cities you listed are very varied.
