- How employing so many female doctors has had a catastrophic effect upon the National Health Service.

Simon Webb for Cheif Executive of the National Health Service.
Thank you for the vote of confidence!
Any news on June been the hottest since records began.?@@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb
Recruit Webb in that role would be as disastrous as recruiting a lobotomised-retard to work as a trauma counsellor.
This is another prime example of you talking about topics you know very little about. The main reason for the disarray in the NHS has so much more to do with successive governments since 2010 dismantling every public service and under funding them. On one hand you complain that our birth rates are declining; in this video you complain about women GP's wanting to take time out for their children. Lastly you are not a GP, therefore you are clueless about the reasons behind why some GPs retire early, therefore some of the statements you made in this video are just assumptions. @@HistoryDebunkedsimonwebb
Simon is spot on. My doctor friend who is in his mid seventies told me that when he was training at medical school there were only a handful of of women in the class as they all knew back then even the facts of life. Women tend to become married have children and disappear from the system for several years and by the time they want to return there was a great deal of experience and knowledge of new procedures lost
They're over-paid and so can afford to work part-time; just do not offer part-time contracts.
@rickjensen2717 - if there were no part-time contracts there would be no part-time doctors, the present system must be making it all financially viable, like most things it doesn't make sense

The NHS is the largest employment agency for foreigners in the UK.
Probably in Europe.

I saw the documentary, Undercover in the the NHS Accident and emergency, the lack of care was utterly shocking and so said the doctors they showed the film to.
Stroke victims left sitting in waiting room chairs for over 12 hours, some had been waiting there 24-48 hours, no food or drink offered, staff had no idea how to run an A&E department.
One dementia patient left alone for hours, nearly bled to death after he removed his drip.
One woman left on a stretcher in a corridor for hours writhing with pain, crying for some pain relief, she couldn't bear it anymore, the undercover guy went to look for a nurse to get her some, over an hour later she finally got some.
Another woman died of Sepsis which was easily treatable had she been initially seen and treated instead of ignored.
Third world doctors and nurses bringing their third world practices to the British NHS, a recipe for disaster and high death rates! Cheap doctors and nurses at the cost of British lives!
They get paid the same as white doctors but they fit the NHS financial model of paying below the market rate. This keeps the overall rate of pay lower than it would be for all doctors.
Only saw BHS in 1990's via the maternity unit!
An absolute shambles never saw the nurses doing any work they just around the desks!
The ancillary nurses made beds,spoke to patients and got them good and drink!All this was beneath the nurse practitioners!
Lazy lot!

Doh....
You remember better times. I'm old enough to remember services being better, and all doctors in my town being white.
I don't remember being able to see a Doctor without an appointment though.
And house calls from your own GP.
Go back a couple of decades and you'd call the GP surgery and be offered a same-day appointment. You'd be able to see your family doctor who knew you and your health requirements personally. And you'd be able to have a GP visit out of hours in an emergency. The system now costs vastly more and no longer works as it did.
You must be going back a long time.

I had a real eye-opener a couple of years ago when I went to a doctors, and had to yell through a metal grill to someone who barely spoke English, to be buzzed into a fortified compound, to speak to (eventually) a doctor who was also not British, before being dismissed in the most perfunctory way possible.
It really drove home just how alienated and hostile the country has become compared to the one I grew up in.

@@quantisedspace7047 It is considered ray-cist by the left-controlled BMA and other NHS staff unions to check people's eligibility to use NHS services. The level of fraudulent use of the NHS by the non- entitled is in the billions of pounds yearly.
A few years back I used to work in a small town at an office close to the local doctors surgery.
Many of my work colleagues were registered with this surgery and had no trouble getting appointments, even for the same day.
Things changed when the town became a dump zone for hundreds of economic Eastern European 'migrants'.
Very soon the doctors surgery was swamped noticeably by foreign pregnant women and the locals waiting time for appointments went to a ridiculous 3 to 4 weeks.
The town is now rapidly becoming a dystopian hot spot for crime and violence thanks to these unwanted people's arrival.
A great example of how diversity affects a local English town in just a few years........
I take it you don't feel "enriched" by their presence then?
@@user-lt9py2pu6u I am lucky in as much that I live in a small rural village where such things are 0% of a problem. I did feel sorry for my colleagues though, who found themselves and their families having to deal with some very unpleasant situations. Needless to say things are a lot worse now!
Joinin the EU was the onset of many problems.
Who would have thought that having access to a good English doctor would be considered a luxury
I bet the royals still have such access!
Don't see them stretched on many hospital trolleys do you?
A friend of mine back in the 1970's always insisted on occupying first class carriages.There'll be no freedom until we get rid of these restrictions!
Didn't get it then not was he right!
We have a Chinese doctor at our surgery, he’s 6’4 and speaks perfect English and is very good and is highly recommended by those who see him.
He is the only none native out of 8 doctors and 6 are male and the surgery has updated its system finely tuning it so you can get a 5 minute emergency appointment to be seen the same day along with all the other appointments offered.

Sums up the diverse and woke NHS
I had to visit the NHS recently over a dislocated kneecap. The woman in the xray room couldn't speak English and tried to force my knee down rather than rotate me to a side the xray could be visible. She was rude and short with me and said "if you don't let me do this you won't get seen." Then forced my knee down flat. I now have permanent injury to my knee but cannot sue due to the NHS "Scope of liability" (it cost me £1100 to get to this conclusion).
They need to go.
Was this a Nigerian with a bogus medical degree?
I'd Sue her or the hospital ..
Doctors used to do home visits when I was a kid. I remember our brilliant Dr Young checking on me when I had chicken pox.
Chinese doctor, did you mean Yung?
They still will, if they really have to. My late mother had to have a doctor out a number of times.

My comment was deleted
Only people like you who clearly have a preconceived, nasty entitled attitude.
I haven’t seen my own designated doctor for years and indeed see different doctors every time I need an appointment.
Same here!.
As a country the vast majority know exactly why these things are happening, but most are too afraid of the shrieking children and their accomplices in the media to say so, and they will only mention their beliefs in private around those they trust. And yet these same people will gladly go to the polls in a couple of days and vote for the same fools that caused the problems in the first place, rather than give anyone else a chance, often saying that they don't trust any other parties, as if the big two can actually be trusted. Its pathetic.
Backstreet Bombay printers go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrp , printing out medical degrees on paper worth 2p
It was announced the other day that most medical schools are made up of fee paying foreign students. Our own aspiring male doctors can't hang around waiting for this system and so they find other ways around the problem, like not entering the medical professions.
My daughter was turned down from several medical and dental schools,they preferred those who parents were in the trade!

@@RillUK truly disgusting when you think about how that could be spent to help people who really need it. What a waste
@@RillUKwhy are you so bloody naive? Have you checked the amount of white male doctors who only do consultancy work😅😅.
Go to any Doctors surgery or Hospital and look in the waiting room to see who is using the place, especially maternity units, MY first GP had been our family GP for 50 years, since he retired I've had about 15 doctors in 25 years, 90% of them female, and two of them I couldn't understand a word they were saying, when I spoke to the receptionist about that problem she said it was the same for her and she couldn't understand anything she wrote either, I'm sure she was winging it, pretending to be a real Doctor, she had what looked like fake certificates on the wall from Nigeria,
As a woman, I couldn’t agree with you more Simon. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Was easy to see them, when they were getting paid to put the safe n effective in our people.
So true, they actually demanded your presence!
Too true, if I’m not mistaken they received £14 a shot to give the innocents the jibby jab.😢
Didn't they do that, traitors
Sadly they turned away ill people. Some are now stage 3 and 4 cancer victims! Shame on them!
There is also maternity leave. The male doctors have to work longer to cover the absent women and also pay them for not being there. Legalised robbery.
@@gregvideo07 this is apparant in all businesses and services
@@swskating3865 Same in my business, my colleague who does the same design job as me who was employed to share my workload had a child, took six months off came back, then decided to go part time on 16 hours and has been off several times on the sick.. taking the peter schmeichel out of the employer really and me. I remember the MD saying if we employ a female it will look good for the DEI score. I wonder how he feels now.
The UK scores badly when it comes to hospital beds and GPs per capita. As for the NHS itself, making people better seems to have become a secondary issue.
Have we lost our obeisance to the 'Hippocratic Oath'??
The beds don't matter, they're part of an ongoing systemic scam. (Hospitals routinely mess with the numbers.)
As for the number or practitioners, if you've listened to Simon speak about it in this video, it seems like it's not about the total number either.
(But rather, about gender preferences / culture, instead.)
And as far as 'making people better' goes, if you noticed what happened in 2020 (and afterwards, say in terms of practically mandated side-effects), you might have been inclined to extrapolate that this was never a top priority.
#MisinformationViaStatistics
Reminds me of an episode in Yes Minister when they were going to open a new hospital. The Minister found out that there are a lot of staffs but none of them were those that actually engaged in medical work (Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists etc.). He tried to redirect the wage toward actual medical-related practitioners which include laying off some of the existing staffs. This resulted in strikes from hospitals all over Greater London.
The result of feminisation
"Spend time with the children" - that old chestnut!
Kids are usually at school during the day after the age of 4 if not nursery when they're younger.
In Australia, I went to a fund-raiser by medical students...95% of them were Chinese and female
They have high IQ so good for Australians.
We're not interested in saving lives these days buddy.
Leave it to the others!!
Screenshot or it didn't happen.
I have found Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean doctors trained here in Australia to be excellent.
@@_munkykok_screenshot what?
Your answer to the gender pay gap, women who have no intention to work as many hours as men.
As a retired Anglo Saxon orthopaedic surgeon you are quite right about what has happened in the NHS in the last forty years.
Paying Doctors high wages, allows them to work, part-time.
£85,000 for a three day week.
they are pill salesmen anyway and if the first pill doesnt work come back in a month and try a different one .... when i was a kid the doctor came to your house and actually treated you , now they send you to a specialist a year in the future if your lucky .
I would want a decent level of doctor, wouldn't you ? . You get what you pay for
Exactly
Taxes coach
The closest I've come to my doctor recently was in our local supermarket, he was comparing the price of over the counter medicines.
Sacked 6500 doctors.
Restricted training places.
Then recruited 2,000 from Ghana.
Meanwhile most lady doctors do a 3 day week.
The truth gets uglier Every Day
Spot on that, just when you thought everything you used to hold dear has been destroyed, you find out that something else is worse than you thought. Challenging times.
As a nipper (1950s) in London we had oldish doctors who always seemed to be available including for call outs at 'unsocial hours' to our home. They were kindly, real family doctors.
They knew all members of the extended family. They were beloved by the community.
I don't need to visit the surgery often, but when I do it's always a different doctor.
My mum was telling me that you could phone doctors at their homes or go knock the door if there was an emergency. Such different times.
Yes i remember those days 1950s ..
In a company where I used to work, there was a manager on a three-day contract. On the rare occasions that she was actually present (rather than working from home), she used to bang on about the "gender pay gap". And she didn't even have to look after children, for she didn't have any.
From being born in 1960 until he retired in 1980, I had the same Doctor for the first 20 years of my life. In the last 30 years. Every time I need a Doctor, it's nearly always a different one. That's progress?
Gender pay gap is a myth created by foaming mouthed feminists
Occident, why don't you go live in your beloved Ireland amongst your own kind?
Given women use the service more, it definitely is a home goal 🤷♀️
Considering most women want to marry a doctor, and now there isn't any, it certainly IS a home goal. Women get what they want, women most affected.
Expect this to continue or worsen once bang average Starmer takes over on Thursday. Labour will be too busy ensuring new tick box lists are created and employing even more managers to tick those boxes rather than sort out the NHS properly. Don't worry about not getting an appointment to see your GP or waiting 6 months for an operation to cure your chronic pain, just be glad that targets have been met for BAME and LGBTetc staff.
My uncle in law is on death's door; he's got bladder cancer.
Additionally he has severe arthritis.
He also paid into the NHS his whole life.
two years ago, I also lost an uncle, my motswana mother's big brother to lung cancer and in his case, it was a deadly instance of misdiagnosis. He was given antibiotics for TB.
From hearing about people aka circus seals clapping for the NHS,
To The long waiting lists,
To The impending assisted sewerslide like what they have in Canada as of now
And the fact that it was cheaper to run the British empire than free Healthcare, like the NHS,
And also because some people treat the NHS like some religious fetish, that they use the word, "Believe " when they talk about it as if it's a god,
"FREE HEALTHCARE CAN SWIVEL ON IT!!!"
comes to my mind.
Doctors now have a reputation worse than the car salesman. I live next door to a female doctor and a male dentist , and they are both at home two days a week. I am afraid things will only get worse as the population grows.
Another example of the benefits of diversity and inclusion causing mediocrity. 90% of GPs are part time. A&E is doing much of their work with catastrophic consequences.
Remember when all doctors had to do a working time in A and E ,in order to qualify as a doctor.I think it was Blurrrs Government that got rid of this requirement and allowed doctors to chose to not go into A and E.We are seeing the results of this to today!
Best thing to do is get the police to arrest you and then they have to get you treatment!You skip the queue just like being a royal!
12 hour shifts, undervalued, understaffed, underfunded and over subscribed.
And yet for the last 18 months my cancer treatment and care has been second to none.
Thankyou to urology dept at the L&D hospital and the Lister hospital l. Thankyou to all staff.🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I remember a senior doctor forseeing this problem 40 years ago. He said the feminisation of the profession would prove disasterous, for the very same reasons as stated here. A male doctor will on average (trained at the same cost to the taxpayer remember) provide 3 times the service a female one would over a career. And why when the NHS is so currently overwhelmed are any doctors allowed to work part-time anyway?
Any criticism of women is met by the M word… misogyny. It’s the trump card they play all the time and get away with it. Men have lost their right to free speech
Cross-examined by a receptionist? Don't you mean cross examined by the Gestapo?
Deskapo
Too many women have ruined it.
We're not going back to the days when men got to see male GPs and women, well we got to see male GP. no choice, or very little choice for us women. Women need female professionals for many many reasons that ignorant men would never understand. Try talking to the females in your own family about their experience and how it's better now she can have the option of another female , just like men got another male.
They should know their place!
They are doing the same thing in the Catholic Church!

Most people do, but you can't see the impossible.
A lot of these doctors from abroad hasn't got adequate training before they go into hospitals they should have training to see if they are capable and actually see if they are qualified
Agree 👍
I saw an NHS Pakistani doctor recently. He gave me a prescription. The pharmacist says that this drug is not available in the UK. The pharmacist has been trying to contact the doctor to discuss this, but the department don't answer the phone and you cannot leave a message.
I recall the NHS finding that female doctors do half the doctoring over a full career. That must have been fifteen or twenty years ago.
Indeed, after having the same expensive training as men, women doctors often retire in their thirties.
Here in Ireland per our HSE (Irish version of NHS) female HSE employees take sick at between 1.38 to 1.92 times that of male employees depending on the sector (admin, emergency, wards etc). Women work less hours than men, take more sick leave & more work part time. Those are the official stats from the HSE. Those are facts.
Now all women in work in Ireland also get leave for claiming domestic violence. No evidence required nor is the employer permitted to ask for it and are now pushing for 3-5 days of each month for period leave.
They are also significantly more litigious against employers. Simple solution. Don't hire women.
Then they have the cheek to complain about the fictitious ‘gender pay gap’
'Leave for claiming domestic violence'? Do men get that, too? DV doesn't go one way.
@James-yp7jm Absolutely. Here in Ireland the most reliable source of unbiased data (until recently as its now been infiltrated by women pushing the usual women are victims BS & looking at data 'through a feminist lens) is the ESRI. The Economic and Social Research Institute. Per 2022 figures the average work week for men is 39.8 hours. For women it's 30.8 hours. Exactly 9 hours less. There is your gender pay gap and that is before sick leave as above which is usually paid (by taxpayers for HSE staff).
@@zombinoshThey claim it's not gendered but the government and NGO's pushing it explicitly proclaimed it was to lesen "gender based violence" and as there are no resources for male DV victims to contact no man is realistically going to request it particularly when so many women are using whisper networks to pass on to others that he has made a claim against one of their own. All of the women's groups know this and support the whisper system they know undermines male DV victims coming forward. They are for 'women's safety' they say.
@@James-yp7jmPer our ESRI Economic and Social Research Institute men work 39.8hrs per week on average. Women 30.8hrs. 9 hours less. There is the gap right there but facts and data don't suit the objective and that objective is not equality.
The surgery nearest to me is a huge state of the srt building that was erected about 4 years ago. Never a doctor in there though. My wife was ill and she never has time off work but had to this time. Phoned the doctors only to be told no doctors available today. Come and see the nurse. This pathetic service after my wife pays in ridiculous amounts in tax and national insurance.
Soon we will have more Doctors than patients . Yes Doctors ! Witch Doctors !
I went to to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton and there was a very large mural giving thanks to the Windrush, saying we called you came. Now as far as I know they just got on the boat because seats were empty! There was no calling out to them. Twisting the truth again
I’m 44yo and I remember when I were young and the doctor came around your house!
Growing up in the 70's-80's i could see a doctor via home appointment on the day, after hours living in Bristol! Now i live in a Country Village ans have to wait days for a 3 minute phone conversation.
Ah the 3-min call that will come anywhere between 8 & 12. What fucking use is that to people who work for a living. System is a mess
You conveniently forgot to mention the third reason. This government . In 2010 patient satisfaction surveys showed record levels. A&Es were functioning within government targets and patients were able to be admitted onto wards without waiting for a bed in a corridor on a trolley some times for days . Doctors appointments were routinely made and many patients were seen within two days. Elective and preventative surgery was routinely carried out and waiting lists were also within government guide lines and targets .Referral consultations were done in a timely manner. NHS dentistry was available for all.
Under this government there were four million patients waiting for procedures before covid.
Under this government the UK health service has been reduced to unfit for purpose. As for immigration I have German relatives ,immigration there is far higher in numbers yet their health systems are now far superior they are horrified at the state of ours .
The government is to blame much the same as they are to blame for the state of the criminal justice system and just about every other public service.
It also doesn't make financial sense to train up a doctor, only to see them emigrate to more lucrative pastures.
Of course, the halcyon days you spoke about at the beginning of your video was a time when most women didn't work. Women were primarily responsible for raising and nurturing children and home making; roles that ensured a cohesive society, stable family environment and greater general satisfaction in life. They were roles which, from experience, were best suited to women who enjoyed these absolutely vital roles, giving them a satisfaction knowing theirs was the truly important job in society. Unfortunately, the two evils of materialist wealth and rise in house prices encouraged or forced women to abandon their cohesive role in domestic society and enter the workplace en masse with the result that we have the comparatively broken, less satisfied and psychologically damaged World we live in today.
I remember when a doctor would do his morning surgery, before setting out on his round, visiting the housebound and bed bound, giving advice and assistance.
£50-60k a year for a three day week plus NHS pension sounds like a good deal to me.
Look up your doctor's surgery on the internet, they have to state the average pay for their GPs, my local is £100K average!
You can both be doctors if you like.. unless your not smart enough or don't have the mental capacity to read and learn things.
Don't blame the doctors for your problems.
And the rest!

My father was a hospital-based consultant and he seemed to work most of the hours he was awake. And if he was not working and got paged, off he went without a complaint to call the hospital. I even remember it happening when we were on holiday abroad, once. A lot of his colleagues were similar, it was definitely a vocation.
I'm iller since seeing these foreign doctors than I was before seeing them. I suppose when they make catastrophic mistakes they can just nip on a plane back to whence they came. He even googled my illness which was the first sign to how bad its become.
Daughter in law is a nurse/ practitioner studying for her doctorate; she tells me that all doctors go straight to Google when presented with symptoms and she despairs for their lack of knowledge. She actually dismissed a consultant in tears when she was in hospital for treatment. The woman was clueless, left the hospital and didn't return for the rest of the day.
Yet we're told by doctors not to Google our symptoms.
They're paid so much they think it's worth it to work part-time.
If we now have doctors who are on strike for more money how can they complain if then when qualified they can afford to only work part-time.? Surely that is evidence that if anything there paid to much money..!
Exactly. Women want to spend time with their children and men don't.
early retirement is nearly as well paid as the full pension,70K+....
Trouble seeing a doctor = another win for our rulers against us
My mum lives in the UK- she was born there and went back decades later. Its really disgusting how long it takes them to see a Doctor over there. Unless you want to pay big bucks. I told her to come back to Australia.
There was a male contestant on "The Chase" recently, a medical student who was asked if he wanted to eventually be a GP. He said yes - it was good to have a "work life balance". Part-timer in the making before he even qualifies. That's where we are.
I come from a town that had 6 hospitals in it, one was a general hospital, the rest asylums.
Back in the 80's it was well known that both general and psychiatric nurses/ doctors would train here, do few years service then go to places like America to earn better money, probably because services there were privatised. I recall Cameron stating we had a healthy supply of doctors without disclosing how many were effectively on part time hours.
I feel sure that if the health service in this country was scaled up and funded in alignment with the population we would have the same level of service that we did have. It is a shame that it is now a pipe dream
Epsom Surrey?
@@jeanetteschauerman908 20 points and a gold star !, yes Epsom
Yes that did have a lot of hospitals then. So too did Dartford in Kent near to where I live as well.
The demand on the NHS is close to infinite when it is only a finite resource.
BTW, Do not allow receptionists to give you medical advice, they are not trained to do so!
As a retired RGN (Occupational Health) I always ask them 'are you qualified to give me that advice?'
I worked with a fantastic GP (he would come in when I needed him...for a price I might add!) who was nearly 70 who lived, ate and breathed medicine. I don't think he was ever going to stop, there were few if any things he hadn't seen and was the only the Dr out of a hospital full of specialists who correctly diagnosed one of my staff/patients with TB.
All of the young doctors had never seen it and never entered their minds, in fact they they had told her that she had AIDS!.
The relief and tears on the woman's face when she found out she had a completely curable illness was just something else.
When I told him of my plan to take early retirement he just didn't get it at all!
Absolutely disgusting. Just yesterday went to the rooms to make an appointment for a tablet review. Told them I don't care if it's 2 months time and was informed to call at 8 in the morning. This is nothing short of pathetic and the dumb politicians can't figure out why the A&E departments are over stretched.
My great grandfather and my great uncles (and a few great aunts) were mostly doctors, often worked 7 days a week for over 12 hours a day, and in the case of my great grandfather, worked until the day he died in his 80's. He was finally talked into going on a hunting trip for a few days, handed the office over to his doctor son at the end of a day, had dinner all happy that he was going to go the next morning, went to bed... Never woke up. He was a country doctor in Pennsylvania, and was open 7 days a week because the remote farmers would only come in on Sundays in their wagons before or after church. He died in the 1940's.
Now some of my better doctors have been the 70-80 year old ones who refused to retire, either having their own practice or helping out at clinics for the poor... like I was for years due to my health issues.
I lived in the 1970- 80s so
I know. Without immigrant workers are hospitals and doctors surgeries were luxury compared to todays corrupt, chaotic services.
I am fortunate to live in a village which has its own surgery. I booked an appointment yesterday to see a GP. The next available slot was over a week away at 7:20 in the evening. By my reckoning every single person in my village must be sick if that is the length of time for the next available appointment. It really is a strange state of affairs.
The trouble started with Bliar offering Doctors a very generous pay deal, this led to many taking their inflated pensions early so, as you have observed, females coming in and wanting part time resulting in us needing twice as many. Also now they regard it as just a job not a vocation. Easier to poach from countries who need them even more than we do.
The main problem is socialization of the entire Health system. I recall in the 80s that Canada was getting alot of newly trained British doctors immigrating to Canada and newly trained Canadian doctors were immigrating to the US. Both the British and Canadian doctors were trained using tax payer dollars, but the remuneration was better in other countries. So long as doctors don't get paid what the market can bear, socialist governments are not going to finance more doctor training because all the new doctors are going to leave. Because living standards and pay/work is becoming worse in Britain (and Canada) we can only poach from third world countries and the worse of their doctors. Our countries are just becoming not very attractive to decent, well educated immigrants. Make healthcare private, stop financing medical training with tax payer dollars and everything will start stabilizing.
I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and also hammer toes. The initial triage doctor I saw a few months ago was an African immigrant who spoke very poor English and didn’t know what each of my foot problems were. I had to write down both problems on a piece of paper because she’d never heard of either. She then proceeded to Google each problem to find out what they were, even though I had already told her. In short, she was useless.

I still remember our family doctor from 60 years ago.
Wonderful man. Always in a suit with waistcoat and tie. Always available and round your house in a jiffy when needed. You felt better as soon as he entered the room. The consummate family doctor !
Alas, no more.
I can see a Dr quickly and easily. Because i took out private healthcare insurance. I’m a retired hospital Dr. The writing has been in the wall for years. I was on the university panel screening med school applications ( and on the examining board). None of my vetos for application were accepted. There were many candidates who were clearly unsuited for a career which demanded long working hours and selfless dedication. Unfortunately, because these people are clever and can pass exams, once they get into med school it’s nigh on impossible to get rid of them. So they waste everyone’s time, because when it comes to ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB on graduating, they can’t take the stress, responsibility or hours. Perhaps we need to adopt the entry criteria for Pilot training: they have a compulsory psychological examination for suitability.
Its true doctors don't want to work full time; they feel its detrimental to their work 'life balance'!
50 years ago - if i had known you could become a Dr and work part-time and still pull in a very good wage, i would have selected that avenue rather than Chemistry.
I work in care and it's either females or african males and i can't do it much longer, it's awful, if i wasn't dyslexic i'd be doing construction
I know many dyslexic people in building. Many very good craftsmen!
Fair enough, I've worked on a few sites, I did ok but always struggled as well, I got sacked once because I couldn't change the bucket on the digger machine and another time because I couldn't tie the rope for the scaffold tubes @@sybentley6675
Maybe that's true and I've worked on sites, I can handled it physically and even mentally at times but I got sacked once because I couldn't tie a knot round the scaffold tubes and another time because I couldn't change the bucket on the digger, it got demoralising after a while
My cousin's a senior carer in one of the few outstanding care homes in the area. He saves a lot of grief for the old folk in his care by vetting the temps and permanent applicants for both suitability and communication skills. Some of the Eastern European and Filipino carers (for instance) are excellent but other foreigners sent by agencies are next to useless or lack basic English. Without him around that home would go downhill fast.
@@Clive697 male managers in care are a lot better so good on him, but it's rare
A mere 10yrs ago where l live, if you rang the surgery out of hours, you got put through to an on call doctor at his home. He would then open up the surgery or come to your home. It all changed drastically here during the convids and it's never been the same since
GP Practices are not fit for purpose!
They do not provide the level of service that we need!
The Practice Administrators have taken them over and the once genuine caring doctors have been forced to accept it or leave!
GP Practices are now centres of increased bureaucracy where the Administrators and certain conniving doctors want to milk the system for as much as they can without having to put in the required work!
Having to book appointments; be “interrogated” by receptionists and then have to suffer the indignity of a call back at the doctor’s pleasure are all intentional obstacles in order to create a “fudge of service”!
It's bollocks and we can all see it for what it is!
What I would like to see is for people to be able to walk into their surgery without an appointment and be seen by a suitably qualified Medical Assessor.
This person would be able to offer treatment up to a certain level.
Anything above their level would be passed over to the doctor.
The training of a Medical Assessor would be far less than a Doctor and a GP Practice should have several of them.
The BMA in Scotland have confirmed that there are 1100 full time Doctors short and mainly because there are now more female GPs in Scotland behaving exactly as you have just said Simon. There has been an absolute disaster and it was driven by the feminists of this country. And you’re correct in saying it’s an own goal because women are much more likely to attend the doctors than men - fact.
I work in the public sector. Around 40% of the staff are part time. Every few weeks we do a run of 2 night shifts. The first night shift is reasonably well resourced but the second night has hardly any staff because this is the night the part timers take off.
74.000 people are waiting for their PIP claim with a waiting time of up to 10 years !
The problem is that becoming a doctor in the UK is like the old trade union jobs: there's an artificial limit put on training places, unlike in other countries. There's only a few thousand places, but four times as many applicants who are all perfectly able. Here in Spain, if you get the mark, you get onto the course, and they just have to make more space if there are more students than they expected!
I remember being a kid in the early 80s before mass immigration and the local doctor had so much time on his hands he came to our house to see me in bed with tonsillitis that would never happen today
