Resident doctors are afraid of unemployment due to lack of training places

Many resident doctors are facing unemployment in this summer as insufficient training locations have been funded in Wales, a union has warned.

Resident Doctor – East is known as junior doctors – to pursue their careers and pursue a particular area of medicine such as neurology, dermatology or general practice, can start special training after two years.

However, a survey by Doctor Union BMA Simru Wales Suggestions that 40% are facing unemployment because there are not enough training spaces.

Some told the Sangh that they had applied for 30 posts without obtaining a proposal.

The Welsh government said it was working with governments across the UK to find out the solutions.

BMA Cymru Wales said Health Education Reformation Wells (Heew) recommended the expansion of the number of special training places to deal with the increasing number of people training for having doctors in Wales.

It claimed that the Welsh was not taken on the board by the government.

After graduation, resident doctors take two -year foundation training, but can start special training after two years to become a consultant.

The BMA claims that without the same increase in the number of data available through the freedom of information requests, without the same increase, the number of applicants for these places across the UK shows a significant increase in the number of applicants.

Welsh Sarkar said that 342 special training posts and 222 Foundation Post have increased.

But the survey by BMA indicates dissatisfaction among the resident doctors who were not on their favorite career paths.

One said: “I have to apply for more than 200 jobs to secure a slot that is below my level and does not pursue my career forward.”

Welsh resident of BMA Dr. Dr. Committee Chairman Dr. Oba Babs-Osibodu said: “At a time when Wales needs more doctors, there are limited opportunities for resident doctors to develop their career in the country where they trained.

“Earlier this year, we wrote to Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, in which he was warned of the possible impact of not expanding training places including medical unemployment.”

The anonymous survey heard from a doctor: “I was unemployed for several months and despite traveling at the national level for any locomotive shift available, I was not enough to pay all bills. Locom shifts are rare.”

Another said: “I have acquired tens of thousand pounds and personal loan funding medical school and now struggling to find a job. I have applied for two years emergency medical training in a line, a characteristic desperate for additional trainees, but the number of jobs has not increased.”

Dr. Babs-Osibodu said: “Doctors are now forced to seek ad hoc Lokam work, leave Wales, or leave the profession completely. There has been a national decrease of doctors in Wales due to the poor workforce plan and chronic underfunding of NHS.

“It is unsafe for patients, and we need to see immediate intervention from the Welsh government, including expansion in law and special training locations to provide safe staffing levels.

“By reducing the bottleneck in the training pipeline, we can enable doctors to progress their career and provide specialist care to patients.”

Welsh Sarkar said: “We are currently investing £ 294M in health professional education and training in Wales.

“We have supported a significant increase in the number of postgraduate medical training posts and since 2019, 342 special training posts and 222 Foundation posts have increased. Now we have about 1,900 trainees in secondary care training programs, and in 900 foundation training, as well as 160 GP training places every year.

“We continue to work closely with governments across the UK to detect solutions.”
