Rating everything from the quality of the Mess to the availability of out of hours phlebs, Jobscore is a reviews database of hospital jobs, spanning all grades and specialties. Although it is still in its infancy, there are a growing number of reviews and this has the potential to become a useful aid for job applications. It uses a standard questionnaire to score various aspects of the post, coming up with an overall score which then contributes to a ranking for the hospital. You need to register and write a report before being able to access the reviews.
While it is still early days, I can't help but compare it to the format adopted at the US-equivalent, Scutwork, which allows for ratings AND freeform reviews. A quick visit of both sites will also highlight differences in accessibility and user-friendliness. However, in the interests of not judging too soon, I am just going to be grateful that something of this nature is now available in the UK. Here's to the more informed job selections of the future!
