Today’s NHS and Britain’s neo export

You may be aware that British manufacturing industry has been going down in this decade while it has to sit on the service industry. With a rapid growth of the latter, too many oversea doctors have flocked together in the UK. As a consequence UK graduates find it difficult to get their jobs. Many have moved to Australia and New Zealand. A friend of mine got married happily a few years previously. Now she has to move to NZ along with her psychiatrist British hubby who could not secure his job in Britain.

A few year back, a group of NHS heads decided to change training system in the hope of a better training for junior doctors. With the new system, a newly graduated doctor would become a consultant in 11 years time instead of former 14 years. I don’t know the dream will come true or not. But today, NHS job market has been chaos. Many doctors have got less attention on patient’s care as the situation has made them worried and frustrated.

Now the pathetic NHS managers are trying to put a new measure for jobless doctors…Voluntary work abroad!
Well Britain will export doctors very soon.

Jobless doctors 'to be shipped overseas'

Up to 10,000 young doctors who are unable to find jobs in the NHS could be offered voluntary work overseas. An estimated 34,250 doctors have applied for just 18,500 training posts.
