Medical degree possibly a year shorter and straight to work with apprenticeships which must undermine time to study core knowledge. This appears to be risking quality for expediency.

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse.
Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.
Brett Packham retweeted
We see that @SteveBarclay has told @BBCR4today programme he is meeting with doctors later today.
Actually he cancelled the 9am meeting we agreed so he could do media, and a further meeting is not yet agreed.
Hopefully it will be soon.
