There’s a scandal unfolding in the NHS.
Thousands of doctors are being locked out of training jobs; left unemployed, unable to become GPs or consultants.
All while patients wait months for care.
@wesstreeting knows this. So why is he refusing to act?

This year, around 20,000 applicants are expected to miss out on NHS specialty training places.
That means they can’t progress to become consultants or GPs, despite the growing demand for care and high waiting lists.
We risk losing capable, motivated doctors simply because there aren’t enough training posts. That’s not just frustrating, it’s a waste of talent the NHS can’t afford.
If you’re a resident doctor, please take a moment to complete this short BMA survey, which closes *today*:

We need your input to demonstrate the true scale of the speciality training bottleneck to the Government.
I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased.
Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees.
We are only asking for £23/hour.

T2b. Tenacity. #WhyWeDoResearch At induction I said I didn’t like telling people I was doing a PhD because I didn’t feel smart enough. I was told you need intelligence but stubbornness and tenacity was more important
Disturbing that today, girls don’t see careers for themselves in STEM. But look at the reasons they give - “men can do it better, it’s not a career for women, women aren’t smart enough to do STEM”. Thought-provoking presentation from @GillianKeating3@IWish_ie@NetIrlWestCork
Jane Sharp was a 17th century midwife who published a ground-breaking book on pregnancy & childbirth, a field hitherto dominated by male authors! My latest article for @TheHeroineColl
