A third of resident doctors are facing unemployment next month. We’re bringing the issue of insufficient training places and job insecurity into our ongoing #PayRestoration dispute with the Government. Read our statement in full: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Using NHS England Workforce, Training and Education’s own maths, at £250K per doctor trained, and with 20,000 doctors unable to progress into training as GPs or hospital consultants, this is a £5Bn misstep in workforce planning. Who is being held accountable? Wes Streeting Shaun Lintern Dr Navina Evans

Most resident doctors who are due to finish foundation training don’t have a job to go next month, a survey shows. The results of the survey, run by the BMA, found that 52% of doctors leaving foundation training had no employment lined up bmj.com/content/390/bm…

Post Leng it’s clear the associate project always was as evidence free as it was illogical What needs answering now is why the Colleges & universities were so happy to champion a project that destroyed professional standards & jeopardised patient safety? I want accountability

This is absolutely astonishing. Nurse-led units with virtually zero medical input. One has to stop and think for a second: Why? These people keep banging the MDT drum, and then go rogue and fly solo. We seriously need to recalibrate and infuse some sense into the situation.

Another adject failure of NHS workforce planning. More radio silence from Dr Navina Evans et al. Where is the accountability & scrutiny for such a gross mismanagement of public funds? Shaun Lintern Wes Streeting medical.hee.nhs.uk/medical-traini…

Is ‘watch & wait’ an appropriate clinical approach 1.) in an era of rapidly rising cancer rates in young patients, and 2.) when access to diagnostic testing should - in theory - be easier than ever? Accept that this is a widely adopted approach in UK general practice, but wonder

It’s going to be ‘Consultant ACP & Director of Emergency Medicine’ next. Can’t say RCEM cheerleaders for this weren’t warned. Their jobs are next.

Meanwhile the UK equivalent PGY2 is likely facing unemployment. NHS workforce planning has been a mess for decades, but the latest debacle is a scandal - of gross misspending of public money; of erosion of professional standards; & of preventable failings in care - which merits

There is no particular reason UK F2s can’t similarly be trained more rapidly to become accomplished and independent specialists, Wes Streeting. UK medical training is some of the longest - read, least efficient - in the world. If you want to revolutionise NHS care, start here.

An incredible response from readers to my storh yesterday. A lot of people suggesting midwifery should go back to being a nurse entry role first with post-grad specialist training, or that it should be a 4 year degree. Thoughts?
