I set up 5 new medical schools and increased doc/nurse/midwife training places by 25%, one of the biggest ever rises. But I have concluded the system we have now will never deliver the staff we need. Without reform, we will not tackle burnout - & ultimately put patients at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

There are shortages in nearly every medical specialty with the number of doctors and nurses we train only indirectly linked to patient numbers or demand, and mainly the result of spending review haggling between the Treasury and DHSC Ministers. — PolitiTweet.org

It takes 7 years to train a doctor and 3 years to train a nurse, so there is never any political incentive to prioritise the training budget. Money will always - and understandably - go first to more pressing short term priorities. Post pandemic we will have quite a few of those. — PolitiTweet.org
