We used to work in a href=”http://www.bhrhospitals.nhs.uk/aboutus/profile.php”Queen’s hospital/a last year. Most of the time we were in medical assessment unit, dealing with emergency medical patients and experiencing many pains and little pleasure . Now we are in different hospitals. This a href=”http://www.bhrhospitals.nhs.uk/aboutus/profile.php”Queen’s hospital/a is one of the busiest hospitals in England, with capacity of about 960 in-patients./p
My class mates, whenever we met on g-talk or Yahoo messenger, living across the world frequently asked me about our friends residing in the UK . I have lost contact with them after living in a busy life style. But we can at least check on GMC (General Medical Council) if they are still registered with it. Generally that means they are still working here. If you want to check,a target=”_blank” href=”https://webcache.gmc-uk.org/ods/home.do”click here/a and enter surname or forename whatever. You can see a list of our people.

With a rapid growth of the latter, too many oversea doctors have flocked together in the UK. As a consequence UK graduates find it difficult to get their jobs. Many have moved to Australia and New Zealand. A friend of mine got married happily a few years previously. Now she has to move to NZ along with her psychiatrist British hubby who could not secure his job in Britain.br /br /A few year back, a group of NHS heads decided to change training system in the hope of a better training for junior doctors. With the new system, a newly graduated doctor would become a consultant in 11 years time instead of former 14 years. I don’t know the dream will come true or not. But today, NHS job market has been chaos. Many doctors have got less attention on patient’s care as the situation has made them worried and frustrated.br /br /Now the pathetic NHS managers are trying to put a new measure for jobless doctors…span style=”font-weight: bold;”Voluntary work abroad!/spanbr /Well Britain will export doctors very soon.br /br /blockquotebr /span style=”font-weight: bold;”Jobless doctors ‘to be shipped overseas’/spanbr /br /Up to 10,000 young doctors who are unable to find jobs in the NHS could be offered voluntary work overseas.
