Teenagers are applying to study medicine not knowing the dire reality of being a doctor in the NHS. They will do a 6 year medical degree and take on a 100k student loan, just to end up unemployed at the end of it. 1000s of doctors are unemployed because they cannot get into speciality training. This is because there aren’t enough training numbers for them. The government can choose to increase training numbers but are deliberately restricting them. This is because they would prefer UK doctors to be unemployed and desperate. This leads to doctors having no choice but to accept poor pay and conditions within the NHS. This isn’t a failure of workforce planning. This is a deliberate dismantling of the doctor workforce. When you can’t see a specialist, when you have to wait days to see a GP, or hours queuing up outside A&E, ask yourself why. Those responsible should be resigning in shame.
