Some states now allow foreign doctors to practice without completing a full U.S. residency Even though American doctors are still required to. If U.S.-trained physicians must spend more years training and take on far more debt before practicing, why are the rules being relaxed for some instead of fixed... show more

The NHS is falling apart, yet doctors are blocked from caring for patients. In 2025, 20,000 more applied than there were available training posts to become Consultants/GPs. Doctors are being shut out because the Government won’t fund enough speciality training & post CCT places. And those FY1 doctors who *are* working are paid just £18.62/hr with over £100,000 of student debt, despite providing life saving care. This is catastrophic workforce planning; wasting doctors while patients face long waiting lists. Locking doctors out of specialty training isn’t an accident; it’s a deliberate political choice.

10,000 American doctors are sitting on the sidelines every year because they can’t find a residency spot. Meanwhile, states like Texas are passing laws to streamline the process for foreign-trained doctors to fill the gap. While we certainly need medical coverage in rural areas, why aren't we prioritizing the doctors we're already training right here at home?

In October alone, 54,000 patients waited more than 12 hours on a trolley in A&E corridors. Yet at the very same time, the NHS is turning away around 13 fully qualified doctors for every single A&E training job. The reason is simple. The Government has capped specialty training posts, meaning doctors are being blocked from training to become the consultants and GPs of the future. This year, around 40,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 training jobs. These are highly qualified, dedicated doctors who want to work in the NHS, but a broken system is pushing them into unemployment or out of the NHS altogether. That is why resident doctors are on strike and why we are re-balloting: to fix the jobs crisis, address pay erosion, and retain doctors in the NHS. Rather than engaging seriously with the The BMA, the Health Secretary has focused on rhetoric instead of solutions. What patients and doctors need now is a credible plan to train and retain the doctors the NHS so clearly needs.

While you wait hours to be seen in A&E and weeks for a GP appointment, NHS doctors are being forced into unemployment. This year, 40,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs. Without these training jobs, doctors cannot progress to become the GPs and Consultants the NHS desperately needs. What the public isn’t told is that these training jobs are deliberately capped by the Government. Catastrophic workforce planning has created a farcical situation; patients are crying out to see a doctor, while thousands of fully trained doctors are locked out of the NHS. This year, 14 doctors competed for every single A&E training job. Five doctors competed for every GP training job. The NHS is turning away dedicated, talented doctors at the door. This is one of the reasons resident doctors went out on strike and why we are reballoting. We are training doctors at enormous personal cost; years of study, debt, night shifts, missed family moments, and then telling them there is no place for them in the NHS. This is not just a workforce failure. It is a moral one.

Doctors in England are now facing unemployment because of decisions being made in Westminster. This year, 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 NHS training jobs. Doctors need these posts to become the Consultants and GPs the NHS is crying out for; yet the Government has capped the number of places. The result? Thousands of hardworking, highly trained doctors pushed aside, even after years of hard work and sacrifice. Wes Streeting’s suggestion of bringing forward 1,000 extra training places for this year doesn’t even scratch the surface of a crisis this deep. This is one of the reasons why resident doctors will be back out on strike in December; and why we’re reballoting. Unemployed NHS doctors, while patients sometimes wait years for care. A system this broken won’t fix itself, so doctors are standing up to fix it.

There’s a reason it takes weeks to see your GP & years to get your surgery. The UK is an under-doctored country; yet thousands of doctors are being blocked from progressing to become Consultants & GPs because the Government has artificially capped the number of speciality training posts. In 2025 alone, there were 20,000 more applicants than there were training spaces. Doctors are ready to care for patients; but they are left waiting, unemployed, or even forced abroad. We are short of NHS doctors yet we’re still not employing the ones we already have. This is the result of years of catastrophically bad workforce planning. Wes Streeting’s proposed plan for 1,000 extra speciality training posts over three years barely scratches the surface of the crisis. If he’s serious about fixing the NHS, he must address this head on. Until then, both doctors and patients will keep paying the price.

Should we legalize assisted suicide? Dr. Lydia Dugdale: “Why should a physician—physicians who have committed to healing the sick, to not killing their patients—why is it that physicians should be the agents of death?” David Hoffman (David N Hoffman): “There are a great many doctors we know… who are willing to assess patients, and where appropriate, prescribe for patients to self-administer medication to end their suffering by ending their life.”

You’re waiting hours in A&E to be seen yet the NHS is turning doctors away from helping you. One of the reasons this is happening is because the Government has deliberately capped how many doctors are allowed to train to become future Consultants/GPs. This year, 40,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 training jobs. For A&E, doctors had to out compete 13 others for every single A&E training job, while emergency departments overflow and patients wait 10+ hours to be seen. That contradiction should shock everyone. And it’s happening alongside a pay crisis. Resident doctors are now earning 20% less in real terms than in 2008, with Wes Streeting recommending another real terms pay cut this April. Doctors are being blocked from training, underpaid, and then blamed for a system that’s breaking. That’s why Resident Doctors are reballoting on jobs and pay. Resident doctors in England: There is ONE DAY LEFT to request a replacement ballot if you don’t have one: 👉 Return your ballot on the jobs and pay campaign by 26th January. Vote YES and make sure your colleagues vote as well. Patients are waiting and doctors are being locked out from helping by the Government.

Thousands of doctors who could be cutting NHS waiting lists are being turned away; not because they aren’t needed, but because the Government caps how many can train to become Consultants/GPs. This year 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 training jobs. Highly trained doctors who want to stay in the NHS are being blocked from progressing, and some are being forced out altogether. That means fewer doctors in hospitals and GP practices, and longer waits for patients. The public feels the impact of this every day: longer waits, overstretched services, and fewer doctors available when you need them. Despite this, the Government’s plan is to bring forward only 1,000 extra training places; far below what’s needed to meet public demand or build up the workforce. On top of the jobs crisis, the Government has recommended a real terms pay cut rather than continuing the journey towards pay restoration. Those two factors together are why resident doctors were forced to strike again, and why we are now reballoting all grades of resident doctors from the 8th of December to the 2nd of February. Doctors: update your BMA account details (workplace, home address, training grade etc) to ensure you receive your postal ballot: 👉 Vote YES for jobs and pay. If we cannot recruit and retain NHS doctors, patients will be the ones who feel the impact. That is the reality the Government still refuses to address.

While you wait weeks to see a GP, NHS doctors in England are being forced into unemployment; blocked by Government caps that stop them from furthering their training to become specialist Consultants/GPs. This year, there were around 30,000 doctors applying for 10,000 speciality training places. That means thousands of capable doctors ready to serve the public and the NHS are being turned away. Every rejected doctor is a lost opportunity to cut waiting lists, staff wards safely and bring the NHS back from crisis. And Wes Streeting’s response? Just 2,000 extra speciality training places over 3 years. That will not fix the doctor unemployment crisis in England. It will continue to leave patients waiting months for care and will push doctors out of the NHS altogether. This is one of the reasons why NHS resident doctors are going back out on strike. Doctors want to work. Patients want care. It’s the Government that’s standing in the way. #EndTrainingCrisis

I’m a resident doctor and I’ll be going out on strike from April 7th. Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer have removed 1,000 extra NHS specialist training jobs; a decision that means fewer potential consultants and GPs, and potentially longer waits for patients in the future. This not only harms doctors, it harms the public and the NHS as a whole. But this isn’t just about those 1,000 posts. It’s also about the bigger picture and what it symbolises. Doctors’ pay has been cut in real terms for over a decade, and resident doctors are still earning 21% less in real terms than a doctor in 2008. There are now far more doctors than speciality training posts, so thousands of doctors can’t progress in their careers to become specialists even though the NHS desperately needs more of them. Last year around 40,000 doctors applied for about 10,000 specialist training posts. Instead of expanding speciality training posts to tackle waiting lists, the number of potential future specialists is being reduced by this Labour Government. At the same time, during negotiations, the Government reduced the investment that had been discussed and spread it over three years instead. So we’re in a situation where pay is still down in real terms, training bottlenecks are rife across the NHS, and the number of potential future specialists is being reduced. That’s why I’m going out on strike with Resident Doctors.

Physician Associates are being renamed to Physician Assistants because the public was confused about their role. But here’s what’s truly confusing: A physician assistant now starts on a salary that’s nearly £10,000 more than a fully qualified doctor. Read that again. Doctors - who train for years, take on legal responsibility, make life or death decisions; are being paid less than the people assisting them. Even if doctors won full pay restoration tomorrow, they still wouldn’t be on equal footing. Wes Streeting, how on earth is that acceptable? Doctors are leaving. The NHS is haemorrhaging staff. Patients are waiting longer for their appointments because this Government refuses to fix pay and value and retain doctors. Is it any surprise doctors are striking?

Hours waiting in A&E. Weeks for a GP appointment. Yet thousands of NHS doctors ready to help the public are being locked out of the system. Doctors need training jobs to qualify as Consultants and GPs; but the Government has capped the available number, creating a bottleneck that leaves doctors unemployed and patients waiting longer. This year there were 30,000 doctors applying for 10,000 NHS training posts. That’s the scale of the crisis Westminster won’t talk about. With no credible solution from Wes Streeting, this jobs crisis is one of the reasons Resident Doctors will be striking from the 17th of December. Patients need doctors. Doctors need jobs. The Government needs to act.

While patients wait years for surgery and months to see a specialist, Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are threatening to cut the number of NHS specialist doctor training jobs. Most people don’t realise this, but doctors can’t just become Consultants, Surgeons or GPs on their own. They have to get a speciality training job first. These jobs are controlled and capped by the Government. So when the Government talks about cutting speciality training jobs, what they are really talking about is cutting the number of future specialist doctors in this country. At a time when the NHS already doesn’t have enough doctors. At a time when waiting lists are in the millions. At a time when patients are waiting months just to see a specialist and years for operations. Cutting the number of specialist training jobs will not fix the NHS. It will make waiting lists longer. It will make it harder to see a doctor. It will make the NHS worse for patients. Threatening to reduce the number of future doctors while patients are already struggling to access care is not just a deliberate workforce policy decision. It is a direct threat to the NHS and to the public who rely on it, coming from a ‘Labour’ Government.

Doctors are leaving the NHS because they are undervalued. In 2024, more doctors applied to leave the UK than in the previous decade combined - the result of a system that is fundamentally broken. We now have the diabolical situation where 40,000 doctors are competing for just 10,000 training jobs. Without these posts, doctors cannot train to become consultants or GPs. The NHS is actively blocking its own future workforce. At the same time, our pay has been eroded. Even after the most recent deal delivered during a period of double digit inflation, doctors are still around 20% worse off in real terms than in 2008 despite working just as hard, in a system where patients are sicker and more complex than ever before. Many resident doctors carry over £100,000 of student debt and start work as a fully qualified doctor on £18.62 an hour. We are asking for £22.67 an hour for foundation year one doctors for example, phased over time, not even all at once. Despite this, Wes Streeting has recommended another real terms pay cut this April. The jobs crisis and continued pay erosion are why resident doctors took strike action and why we are now reballoting. Resident doctors: return your ballot by 26th January.

If you watch one thing today, make it this. An internationally trained doctor in Canada speaks out against the government's immigration plan and exposes a hard truth about our health care crisis. The Liberals claim that record immigration levels are the only way to fix Canada's health care system. But that's simply not true. They've ignored thousands of qualified doctors who are already in Canada unable to get licensed. Right now, there are at least 13,000 internationally trained physicians already here who are not working as doctors because they're stuck in a bureaucratic, licensing logjam. Instead, many of these doctors are driving taxis or working in factories instead of helping patients. Why should anyone believe the Liberals can get new immigrant doctors working when they failed the ones already in our country? Dr. Bichay came to Canada years ago, passed her exams, and did everything right. Yet she's still not allowed to practice, not because she isn't qualified, but because bureaucracy blocks her. In a powerful and heartbreaking statement at the health committee, she asked: "Why are you bringing more from outside the country when we are still here?" I could not agree more. Why should we add more people to a broken system before helping those already here?
