Off Topic The Politics Thread

We don't pay them enough. That's why, when we have trained the nurses and doctors, they **** off to Australia or the USA.

 

Both those countries use private healthcare to one extent or other. Funny that..

 

And what do we do in the next six to seven years that it takes to train these doctors - assuming there's a plethora of the unemployed educated enough to be able to go to medical school?

 

I remember being told by Boris not to worry about that, as there were plenty of people unemployed then.
There are even more unemployed now...

So won't be a problem

 

Pretty sure the bloke who waits for my pharmacy to open for his methadone with a G&T in a can every morning could be a surgeon with a bit of encouragement. Maybe a fast-track course.

 

Phew, thank **** for Boris eh?

 

Nurses and care workers shouldn't be a problem. if we want to pay doctors more, we need to introduce private/ insurance element Ito the health service, as they do in most other countries. The "free at the point of delivery" for all, doesn't have a future imo

 

It takes three years to train a nurse

 

Increase apprenticeships, pay more, introduce contributions to health service by public

 

And that'll speed up training? The NHS is being held together with a bit of blu-tak and sticky tape. The amount of nurses I know who have retired, and are then co-erced into returning is staggering

 

BBC & ITV both saying 4th July General Election...

 

Student nurses used to go straight onto wards. There are still apprentice nurses. Three year nursing degrees seem unnecessary to me. Mix practice and theory. Specialist studies can run alongside day to day nursing, say one day a week.

 

Sunak's getting pissed on already. And it sounds like they're partying in number 10.

 

Student nurses still go on wards and placements - my wife is a student mentor. And after three years, a lot of them are still quite raw and need monitoring for another year

 

I'm so excited.
At last we know when the election is going to be.
At last, this pretty useless government will get ousted and we can finally get the Labour Party into power, meaning that.............





Oh wait........

**** all will change as there's hardly anything between the two of them and Starmer will change his mind about every pledge anyway.

Useless the lot of them.

 

It’ll be great because from July 5th you can crow every day about how they’ve not undone 14 years of corruption, incompetence and kicking cans down the road yet. It’ll be a right lark.

 

Doubt Sunak's decision will go down well with his MP's. If he doesn't get a plane off to Rwanda and do a deal with Reform by July 4, he's ****ed. Still, never mind, we've got flip- flop Starmer and his shadow cabinet of vegetables waiting in the wings.

 

And you'll be able to tell us how much better everything is over the next few years.



It won't be.

 

It’s going to need two terms and even then some stuff is sadly irreparable thanks to your boys and girls. All those cans they’ve kicked down the road will have to be collected by Labour so that’ll be even less in the pot to sort out literally everything. Well done.

 

Yeah, Covid and furlough never happened
