๐ The NHS 10-Year Plan offers just 1000 new training places โก๏ธ But there are 20,000+ more applicants than places This isnโt planning - this is negligence โ ๏ธItโs putting the future of the NHS at risk This fight is about jobs AND pay - the future of the NHS depends on bothโ

Thousands of doctors canโt get into post-graduate training to become GPs and consultants Many face unemployment after years of study. ๐ง Psychiatry: 10,000 applicants. Fewer than 500 places ๐ฅ GP: 5 applicants for every post Meanwhile, patients are waiting longer than ever

Imagine training in medicine for 8 years and attaching yourself to ยฃ100k of debt. When you finally reach the point of training to be a specialist, there is no job. Meanwhile specialist job vacancies are going unfilled. ๐คฏ A symptom of decades of failure in workforce planning.
โIf you don't say yes now, it could mean you don't get your career later.โ Dr Kelly Gurnett sends a message to FY1s in England about why itโs so important to make your voice heard. https://t.co/kOpHF0vOz6

But equally is there a โprecedent in trade union historyโ for a 30% real-terms pay cut since 2008? Resident doctors have lost a lot. When you take that much from doctors, you lose them. Lose doctors, and patients lose care. Surely wanting back whatโs been taken from you isnโt
BMA strikes are unnecessary and unreasonable. There isnโt a precedent in British trade union history for calling a strike after a 28.9% pay rise - let alone a five day strike. The NHS is hanging by a thread theyโre threatening to pull.
