Excellent post from @mancunianmedic There is a definite place for non-medical โ€˜advancedโ€™ clinicians (I personally donโ€™t like the term practitioner- it is meaningless to patients). If you want to cover the medical rotas- go study medicine and become a doctor. Trusts take heed.

BBC News: Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting are trying to bribe doctors to call off next weeks strike, by saying that if they don't extra training places won't be created Just to be clear, these aren't 'extra' training places, these are training places And if the general public understood the meaning of this, they would be standing alongside doctors striking Never thought I'd be as disgusted with Labour as I was disgusted with the Conservatives, but here we are

โ€œThe NHS needs every doctor it can get. But we now inhabit a world where doctors are unemployed. Itโ€™s madness. Please, @wesstreeting, do not be the health secretary in post while doctors are unemployed & signing on with Uber shifts. You do not want to be that person. Any health secretary in that position is doing something terribly wrong.โ€ Did you know 20,000 young NHS doctors face not getting a training post this summer? That some are already unemployed - when the NHS needs every doctor it can possibly get. @DHSCgovuk needs to fix this immediately, now - it's a workforce debacle of monumental proportions & it's harming our patients. Thank you @lspencerelliot & @Independent for covering this hugely important issue today.

A national scandal is quietly unfolding in the NHS. 1000s of doctors are being blocked from becoming Consultants & GPs because the Government is restricting training spots. The public arenโ€™t being told. Unemployed doctors while waiting lists soar is nothing short of madness.
