The UK is facing a critical failure in medical workforce planning. Thousands of doctors are trapped in a bottleneck, blocked from progressing due to a shortage of training posts. This has been a crisis that was foreseeable and entirely preventable.

Labour havenāt got more GPs The summer plan was for 1000 GPs via ARRS scheme so far just 65 have been recruited in the latest figures This is because itās restricted funding & not given to practices to recruit directly GPs are unemployed due to no funding (There were 73 PCN GPs prior to June)

In our submission to the DDRB we're recommending a pay uplift that will restore doctors' pay to 2008/2009 levels, accounting for RPI inflation. The Government's own suggestion of 2.8% would fall far beneath that, demonstrating a poor grasp of unresolved pay issues in the NHS. š§µ (1/4)
