With nurse training I think the reason it’s now uni may be that collage used to commonly be 3 years and now is as far as I’ve seen always 2 so the get the needed training time it has to be a 3 year degree For the doctor training I know there’s plenty of people wanting to train in a specialty and plenty of consultants/practises/trusts who want more trainees/registrars so what’s stopping it
On the doctor side, money is what's stopping it. Each training post/trainee creates a potential future consultant, each of which apparently costs the NHS something like £5 million over a 30 year career. The short answer is that the Treasury/central govt is not willing to pay for as many consultants as we need. So workforce is deliberately short, basically all the time.
@@OllieBurtonMedmuch like with doctors, the government (and NHS) have realised they can essentially import cheap healthcare workers (including doctors and nurses) from countries like Nigeria and India. They know they are less likely to complain because they have visa concerns. It’s unacceptable. Standards are not consistent, and we are ‘stealing’ a valuable workforce from these nations.
I understand the comment about AAE and people needing to go away and come back and whether they need to be in AAE or not but unfortunately the environment in many AAE's is just not suitable for many groups of people despite them needing emergency treatment. Many AAE environments can cause significant distress and cause further problems for some people especially when having to be there for many hours at a time.
This is also fair, and I don't know what the best solution is. Optimally (at least in my view) is something like quiet side rooms, and the whole thing needs to be significantly more comfortable. It's just desperate lack of resource and overcrowding.
focus on preventative medicine will basically solve all issues, if you put everyone on a starch based diet with the addition of fruits and vegetables, no one will get sick
13:27 - Yes, please make a video about that!
Ooh glad you made another one
Found it very informative and loved hearing your thoughts
Pleased! It's a bit of a goldmine for covering lots of topics very quickly
Very informative Dr Burton thank you
Good boy
You are very welcome
Great topic, looking forward to watching this.
Personally I would like them to actually start paying the ambulance service minimum wage

@@HomemadeBrownies1 yes, this is a good point, well observed

@@OllieBurtonMedfor sure I don't think you'd be able to sort this without addressing the bigger problems
