A lot being I’ve been a doctor for almost 3 and a half years and I’m currently on my 10th rotational job!

This is sometimes true from my experience across *a lot* of NHS departments.

Though I would reframe some of that ‘over staffing’ as often being spare capacity and how things should be run. And I think all NHS services should operate with a reasonable level of spare capacity.

It’s absolutely saddening to see that people who have gone to medical school for 6 years, getting debts of £100,000+ for this, then work for 2+ years more find themselves unemployed whilst waiting lists are so long.

This chart illustrates the problem well at the post-F2 level. Increasingly more applicants, may from across the world, competing for a per capita smaller amount of jobs.

It’s only worsening the longer the government does not take action as more and more are stuck in the system and many will leave the profession (or the country) as a result.

The employment crisis is probably more pressing. I know of many colleagues who could not find a job or are in precarious employment due to government strangulation of training posts and GP/Consultant posts.

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.

Pregnancy and childbirth are highly complicated and full of risks. It is notable that amongst medicine so much of this area has been transferred to people without medical degrees or postgraduate medical training.

The greens are no doubt doing better than before, but a lot of people who understand polls seem to take issue with FindOutNow’s methodology and previous record. As a journalist you should indicate that in your post.
