It would appear that the undermining of the medical profession has just been
kicked into high gear by the Government. According Ms. Hewitt, the Health
Secretary, it is the profession's "clinical resistance" to change, that has
undermined their health strategy. Surely it can't be the Government's lack of
forward planning, they have dramatically increased spending on the NHS but
without the desired outcome.
Every week we hear about "Targets" which need to be met and so forth. To make
sure these targets are met, they hire private financial consultants and
managers, all of whom fail to realise that health is completely unrelated to any
other financial institution. In their opinions, patients are like robots or
engines, which only require a quick examination, diagnose the fault and moved
onto the next station for fixing. I guess, if the general public accepts how
they are looked upon by the government as just numbers, we might as well be
robots.

New Work Permit Regulation |

Health Minister Lord Warner has announced today that from July 2006 onwards,
all Non EU doctors wishing to work in the U.K. will require a work permit. This
effectively means that an NHS Trust hospital has to prove that a "home grown"
doctor can not fulfil the position, thus ending the permit free visas.
Could this move have been sparked by protests from junior doctors who have
been unable to find training posts? At present it is claimed that upwards of
1000 applications are received for each post advertised. Could this spell the
end for the GMC's overseas examination centres for the PLAB and its related
industry in East Ham, London?

Worried medical students voice their concerns over the failure of MDAP & MMC
in general. They believe that there is no incentive for educational excellence
as it is a lottery as to what Foundation program they are allotted, if they are
given one that is. For more information on the situation facing final year
students, follow these links:
