    Well paid for what is essentially a simple transcription of information.

    I wouldn't waste my time trying to explain to receptionists. I'm not sure how others medical centres work but mine you can only make an appointment for the following week. Otherwise it's first come first serve in the morning by calling them.
    I had my PCA on a wed. And the thur morning I called the .medical centre at 08.30 saying I needed to meet with the gp. I didn't tell them anything about what it was. Got an appointment for 11.30.
    Walked into the gp office apologised for wasting an appointment time but I needed the form filled in that week. Took 5 mins I walked out and he didn't even charge me

    I'm just thankful my family has known the staff in the doctors for nearly 25 years!

    My tuppence worth is that once I had my PCA date I booked a slot with my GP for the day after. Cockiness our confidence, decide as you will but I wasn’t leaving anything to chance. My doctors can be a bit backwards but the GP was more than helpful, didn’t charge and in fact asked kids of questions and wished me well in my new career.

    Seems to be the best way just be forward and book an appointment. If they don’t like doing it in an appointment time, well what odds as long as you get the forms filled in

    I haven’t been able to find a straight answer anywhere. Does anybody know the number being recruited in the current campaign. I’ve seen lots of guess work but with the recent calls anybody know anymore?

    1052 passed the assessment centre so if the exhaust the list then I assume this amount.

    @chill factor I think there was someone on here who is in the 80s on the merit list who got a call this week for august. So august is probably bigger than 50. They are doing 8 intakes by their own admission on this campaign so anywhere from 400 to potentially 800 if the intakes are mahoosive.
    It probably just depends on money (lkke everything else).

    So hard to get an answer I’ve emailed in to ask the question however no response. Numbers mustn’t be confirmed or they would have released them.

    The merit list email says depending on operational demand so I guess it depends on budget and how many people pass all the stages really.

    you could have people though who are 1-80 on the merit list who may have not got there vetting back yet or failed pca first time round and that’s when it goes to who’s appointable rather than list order.

    He beat me to it. I'm guessing it's not the massive classes, it's more to do with pca fails, medical fails, missing online learning, waiting on vetting still........ Also not everyone getting the call is a boardie so we are really just guessing.

    Out of the top 100 I'd safely assume that 20% aren't in it anymore for one reason or another and there will still be some waiting to resit pca or waiting on vetting.

    I know of a guy in the 70’s on merit list from FT3 who should have had a call but hadn’t completed his online learning, left it to the deadline. Mental

    Fast track 3. Before the ac results came out, thereabouts, there were 3 phases of emails sent out to high scorers who had definitely passed. Ft3 was the latest phase so we are the ones who are the least through the process but ahead of those who only just got their merit place and pca dates.

    What was the gap between medical and PCA for the FT3 people? 4 weeks?

    5-8 weeks based on the ones I know and myself.

    Someone got a call today over 110 in the merit list.

    Was thinking earlier. I know people would disagree as it can be frustrating having to wait but how nice would it be to be in the waiting room. Passed all the PSNI can chuck at you and now your just sitting there with a big smile waiting to be called.

    Congrats everyone again who is that far.
