Just because you train as one doesnt mean the NHS is obliged to give you a job. Like the rest of us have to .... train as something the COMPETE to get the jobs.
Just becuase you're not guaranteed £100k p.a. dont come winging to me about it.
It costs the taxpayer £250,000 to train each doctor, the latest proposal this year is to ship up to 10,000 young doctors who are unable to find jobs in the NHS overseas to do voluntary work
10,000 x £250,000 =£2,500,000,000 of your money
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
A mate of mine spent the last few years studying physio, on an NHS subsidised course. When he entered the course there was a huge shortage of physios. Now less than 10% of the people he graduated with have found work because there are now no places for new graduates. People with 2-3 years experience are still in shortage and are brought in from overseas.
But the last few years the badness seems to have accelerated.
The problem here as far as I understand it is the trusts have "run out of budget" to pay for junior doctors, and various other things. My auntie is a midwife and they keep firing midwives because of "budget cutbacks", and then they just tell the rest to work harder.
So there is money to pay £10bn+ for a computer system which is never going to work, but no money to pay for the doctors, which the NHS actually needs.
Priorities a bit upside down I think.
The government really needs to step out from running hospitals. By all means I'm not saying we shouldn't have healthcare for the poor, but the actual running of the hospitals should be left to the free market.
