Medical degree possibly a year shorter and straight to work with apprenticeships which must undermine time to study core knowledge. This appears to be risking quality for expediency.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse.

Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

We see that @SteveBarclay has told @BBCR4today programme he is meeting with doctors later today.

Actually he cancelled the 9am meeting we agreed so he could do media, and a further meeting is not yet agreed.

Hopefully it will be soon.
