Many doctors face unemployment in August. Today, there are only 59 jobs in England & Wales suitable for doctors finishing F2. Many will be limited by their F1/F2 rotations & academic engagement, with 26/59 jobs requiring speciality experience, and/or MRCP/audits/publications.

Doctors who trained in Britain. 2006, but on steroids. No RDConf. No ARM. No democratic vote. Unilateral policy from the government. Wes Streeting backing UK graduates more than the BMA itself.

Look at the self chosen parameters some will use. Why should you get priority over someone who is 5 days away having from ILR with a non-British partner who rent a house together. Easy to admit a line needs to be drawn when you conveniently fall on the other side of it.

🚨 300 NHS bosses paid more for running a hospital than the prime minister gets for running the country 👩‍⚕️ Meanwhile doctors start on just £17 per hour ⚖️ Even Physician Associates, who these doctors supervise, start on 30% more than them! #JoinStrikeWin

Not sure anyone can in good conscience expect current FYs to go on strike when there is a very material chance they will be unemployed in the next years.

It’s a good speech, but unfortunately UK trained doctors are about to, on a perhaps unprecedented scale, slip into pockets of unemployment and underemployment because of a lack of protective policy. This will have happened on your watch, whilst you are the health secretary.

You got absolutely cooked by the Oxbridge students. A 20-something year old medical student having to essentially gentle-parent you on what DNA and meiosis were. You expected US level intelligence from some of the smartest students in the country - that’s the fatal flaw you made.

If Department of Health and Social Care are telling us that restoring residents’ pay would cut down the funding available to other services, what they are actually telling us is that the gradual erosion of resident’s pay had been funding these other services to begin with.

Doctors are only asking to start on as much as our assistants do, and they can’t even prescribe paracetamol. If we can’t afford doctors, we can’t have doctors. Video #2 (sound up) Wes Streeting

I’m glad this is starting to finally get the attention it deserves. As usual, I predicted this already, and I don’t think there are any viable short term solutions. x.com/xeon4f145d96s1…
