Ten years ago, over 70% of new doctors (FY2s) in England stayed on in the NHS to complete specialist/GP training
By 2022, more than 70% chose not to stay on.
The U.K. govt are driving away the future of the NHS

1/ Another brilliant interview by @_VivekTrivedi on @BBCBreakfast 👇
As you say @scotgov had the courage to continue negotiations when strikes on the table, avoiding the need for ANY strikes in Scotland, & finding a resolution.
Why does @VictoriaAtkins @RishiSunak not do so?

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.
Please can you help by following us and retweeting this? It really would mean a lot.

RISHI’S fishy MATHS
50 refurbed schools = 4
40 new hospitals = 5
2000 more GPs = 2200 fewer
5000 beds = 900 maybe
800 ambulances = 51
20000 more police = 0
5% pay rise when inflation 10% = 5% pay cut
Reducing inflation = prices still rise🤷🏻♂️
Bad at MATHS, INCOMPETENT or LIARS
