I am a medical student from Malaysia and did an elective at the Royal Free in London. It was so surprising that how nice and willing to teach the consultants and registrars were. Although there were some obstacles that the NHS faces, there is still some really passionate and ambitious doctors around.
I was really struggling trying to understand the structure of the NHS to help with an assignment, but this is the clearest explanation I have found yet! Thank you so much!
hi dr ollie! i just received my first medicine offer and i just have to thank you for your videos!! every single one that i’ve watched helped me become more confident for interview and therefore helped me get this offer!
That was very comprehensive, thank you. I always wondered how the "business" of GPs ran. Now i have a rough understanding of how it works. Inspired to read further into this. ~ IPS
Excellent video for a person like me moving to the UK soon, and has no clue of how NHS works. Thank you for the time and efforts you put in to simply the structure of one of the most complex organisations in the world. Please feel appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏
I would NOT go to the UK. Please do your research. Ask why their doctors, nurses , physiotherapists are quitting the UK in huge numbers to work in Europe, Australasia, North America, the middle east etc. Hope you realise the high cost of living there. Their railways are unreliable and expensive. Their roads are jammed with traffic , have never-ending roadworks, road closures etc. This will mean that you will spend more time commuting to and from work making work , life balance poor. The salaries are low while the rents are very high thanks to poor supply of housing. Most UK accommodation is in old buildings with damp and mould. There are other off-putting factors so do your research well before moving there. Otherwise, I regret it. The UK needs to focus on rebuilding the country in terms of more roads , railways and housing.
@DrEmmanuelAmukun oh well, good luck with the rent, traffic jams , high cost of living, expensive unreliable railway service, road closures, crime, high taxes, high stealth taxes...you've just entered into a workhouse. After a few years there , you will realise your big mistake. Sitting in traffic jams thanks to roadworks, road closures, broken down trucks, accidents, reduced speed limits etc all increasing your commuting times or sitting in trains which are delayed by signal failures, power failures, points failures, broken down trains etc. It will wear you down as you constantly struggle to get to and from work. Best of luck, you will need it.
@@DrEmmanuelAmukun enjoy paying high taxes. Higher costs coming to you. You will be paying more for using their unreliable railways. Don't forget the stealth taxes as well. Give it a year and review your status their.
Excellent video Dr Ollie, thank you so much for putting these out. The insight and especially the focus on up-to-date information is amazing. I did want to ask - I commented on a previous video of yours about Physician Associates and how difficult it can be for some people to access Medicine right off the bat due to financial reasons, but I've learned it could be an option later in life. I'm just wondering, have you heard of or worked with Physician Associates who then have later applied to study a full Medicine degree, or Graduate-Entry Medicine, to become doctors? What are your thoughts on such a career pathway?
I personally haven't met anyone that has done it, but I could certainly imagine people have. This may also be the exact type of person that the new apprenticeship scheme may be targeting so could be another option for PAs to transition into medicine.
Guys can anyone explain me the hierarchy of NHS staff? In my country we have personell under medical nurses, they assit the nurses in taking care of pacients but have more limited atributions. What would be the term of this kind of staff in UK NHS? Hierarchically - doctor/GP - nurse-.....?
It's not just their health service, it's their infrastructure. Railway infrastructure is broken. Their roads are jammed with traffic thanks to never-ending roadworks, road closures and frequent fatal accidents. Housing supply is very low and current housing stock is the oldest in Europe with damp and mould. Rents are sky high. Even UK doctors, nurses, physiotherapists etc are escaping the UK so why would any professionals would want to work in the UK. It seems the UK people are anti development, no new roads, no new railways, no new housing, no nothing. Can't blame their leaders, the UK people vored them in. So avoid going to the UK
Agreed. I know someone who was told to see a non medically trained person about a medical complaint he had. I thought you see DOCTORS for medical COMPLAINTS???! P.S that non medically qualified person then told my friend to see a doctor!! Pathetic!!
Saved my life many times & also two of my children one has leukemia the other a serious heart condition, both have received excellent & life saving treatment. Yes you wait for non essential procedures? But who’d want to push in front of someone needing life saving treatment?
@@JulieLevinge we are waiting for essential urgent stuff for my dad i bad way. They forget to send samples forget to ask for stuff, never call back, it's a bloody shambles. Completely unmorganized and inefficient
12 hour plus waiting in emergency departments. Some people have not lasted. Ambulances waiting outside with people in agony. Cancer treatment delayed. Shambles. The numerous scandals involving various NHS trusts etc
