Nice chance to slip in a racial element.
I doubt you are so fundamentally ignorant that you think "apprenticeships" are the same as "doing work experience", just a poor troll attempt.

doogie has trouble between the nuances of a nation state with very well documented corrupt practices and race. Interestingly it is this very fear of been labelled racist that allows these individuals to get away with it putting patients at risk, but then its worse to be called racist than have have unexpected outcomes for patients isn't it!

Her case was so "interesting" it was reported in other news outlets.

My comment addresses your link. Not the article or the person in question.

I doubt you are so fundamentally ignorant that you think "apprenticeships" are the same as "doing work experience", just a poor troll attempt.

One fifth of Nigerians in the NHS allegedly have dodgy qualifications in a country which suffers a lot from fraud, I still find that shocking.

One wonders how many other nationalities have done similar, remember Indian fake degrees in IT? As with the other links and the clear indication many had poor command of English and in my experience sometimes very strong accents. Maybe we should be careful who we employ especially patient facing?

If you think that is racist that seems to be your problem.

As a time served apprentice I know exactly what that it entails, you do the everyday work and when you get stuck your boss eventually explains it to you when he is free.
Funnily enough Sony walkmans don't bleed out while you are waiting a few hours for the boss to be free.

Not really ideal though in a life & death situation.

Not sure if you have watched "This is going to hurt" but it was commended by many Doctors as sadly accurate. "Junior Doctors" have full degree based medical training, placements, plus rotations and they still frequently feel like they are underqualified.

Now paying for the doctor's training makes sense this is part of the reason so few are trained or move abroad. If they had a loan that was written off if they stayed in the NHS for X years but have to pay if they move abroad or go Private that would make sense.

We do however have other issues, many GP appointments can be done by Nurses (27% currently) & other staff, via the internet or via the phone. A central booking system by 111 would make a lot of sense rather than queueing outside the doctors at 8am for an appointment. I don't mind driving 15 minutes to go to another less busy surgery.

Attendance is 90.7% so 9.3% of appointments are wasted. If people were fined for none attendance we would have ~10% more appointments used. They do at least text reminders now.

This is interesting they do at least seem to be categorising appointments. Maybe they will find a decent mix.

It seems that adding a DVLA flag & classification on medical records could and extracts for the various chargeable jobs would mean less doctor time.

As mentioned Pharmacists are qualified to do many medicine reviews. e.g. contraception, anti depressants etc. Giving them the ability to prescribe or free issue fairly safe things like contraception or special shampoos/creams in small amounts. Or antibiotics for a repeating illness like tonsillitis where a doctor has done so before.

Processes to treat each disease are poorly defined and rely on the Doctors expertise which as Court suggests seems to be guesswork in many cases. Most well organised organisations define the flow for common situations. The only 'pathways' we seem to have are for killing patients.

some of what you say is okay but some of it is more bulltulip than a boris johnson defence document. I have had 6 pints. About to have a 7th will respond more tommorow once hangover gone.
