There is a silent medical scandal ongoing in the UK.
A staggering 20,000 NHS doctors will be potentially out of a speciality training job this August. This means doctors can’t train to be consultants or GPs, despite the rising waiting lists.
The UK has spent time and public money on the education of UK medial graduates, yet 1000s of them are unable to find a speciality training job. This is a colossal waste of money and an example of diabolical workforce planning.
The training spaces are being centrally restricted by the government, yet @wesstreeting refuses to act. Why?
I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to comment on the BMA RDC offer.
However, the average grad salary is £38.5k, this offer would make a medical graduate start on £36.6k.
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
My thoughts on the Bushey tragedy
Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today
Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt
RT to support them & ask government to pay them ALL fairly #PayRestoration
