🚨 Almost HALF of all NHS Trusts are using non-doctors to fill doctor rotas due to “shortage of doctors”
FYI - 40,000 doctors applied for only 10,000 available training posts last year
Doctors are unemployed
Doctor substitution is real
And it’s DELIBERATE
Liz waited 6 weeks for her scan results.
In November 2025 she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Sadly, Liz’s case isn’t rare.
From January to September 2025, more than 700,000 scan results were not given to patients within the recommended 28 days.
One reason for this is a shortage of radiologists. These are specialist doctors who read and report scans and give patients their diagnosis.
But here’s the part most people don’t know.
The Government controls how many doctors are allowed to train to become specialists.
In 2025, 4,011 doctors applied for just 356 radiology training jobs. Thousands of doctors were turned away from training to diagnose cancer and other serious illnesses.
Just this week, @wesstreeting and @Keir_Starmer removed 1,000 additional NHS specialist training jobs after doctors refused to accept the Government’s terms.
So while patients wait longer and longer for diagnoses and treatment, the Government is actively reducing the number of potential future specialists.
When your scan result is delayed, when you wait weeks for a GP appointment, when you wait years for surgery, it’s not because doctors don’t want to help you.
One of the reasons is because the Government is limiting the number of doctors the NHS is allowed to train.
They’re deliberately destroying the NHS. They’re not harming doctors, doctors can work anywhere in the world. They’re harming the NHS and patients. One doctor sees an average of 20-30 patients a day. Do the maths! 20-30 thousand patients a day wont get seen.
The NHS is in crisis — and the government’s solution is to remove training jobs, likely pushing even more doctors to leave or work overseas.
The government thinks it is acting tough, but it is the patients who will suffer. What a disgrace.
The GMC was set up in 1858 to protect the public by creating a medical register to distinguish qualified doctors from unqualified ppl
Ironically, THEY now are the ones abolishing this by registering non-medically trained ppl as “qualified”?!

I just wanna be on a beach with the love of my life but I’m sat in a suburb doing a presentation on ketotic hypoglycaemia that holds no personal benefit
🔴 Me waiting for the unsavoury debate between IMGs and UK graduate doctors to come to an end, while ACPs/PAs take up hundreds of spots on doctors’ rotas every year.

I absolutely love them. Ten out of ten, no notes. The best team of Traitors we've ever had. Like two cats with eighteen lives. Give one or both of them all the money. Send them on Celebrity Coach Trip. Put their heads on 2p coins. #TheTraitors
