anyone saying it’s beyond repair - you are wrong. When I qualified in 1997 the service was like it is now- all the time , huge numbers of people waiting long times - money and appropriate clinical targets changed everything in just a few yrs- tories want you to think it’s over

There’s no evidence that’s a persons ethnicity is related to their propensity to commit crime. There is however a shed load of evidence that a persons ethnicity makes it more likely the will go to jail/ serve longer sentences than white ppl who commit same crimes.

To all those following - YES this is an emergency AND yes sexual health sector does need additional resource to manage this emergency - sexual health services had a £150m reduction since 2013.this has been seen as reduction in nurses, doctors , receptionists and support workers
This is a serious development that requires an equally serious shift in gear from the Government.
To prevent Monkeypox becoming endemic, the Government needs to urgently increase vaccine supply alongside a major communication campaign to alert the public to the risks.

Also in addition to all the other very valid points, being good at passing exams, which is essentially what gets you into ‘top unis’ categorically does not make you a good doctor. It’s possible to scrape through every exam you ever sat and be an excellent doc.

I am sympathetic to this, do think we need to discuss but… having organised scientific conferences… it’s literally twice as expensive to deliver F2F and hybrid. You must offer two rates and massive risk if not enough people opt for the significantly more expensive F2F
