30% of GPs are due to retire in the next five years, one in five Consultant posts are vacant. 3,000 Doctors have left over the past five years to take up positions abroad. We are losing our doctors while demand is increasing. #Budget2022
If you think immigrants HCWs are doing an amazing job during this pandemic and their efforts need to be recognised with equal training opportunities & #fastTrackCitizenship then I request everyone to please RETWEET this so that @RCPI_news & @HMcEntee could listen to our voices
