Regarding the UK Medical Graduate Prioritisation Bill

As you are probably aware, now is not a great time to be a doctor in the UK.

Many UK medical graduates are facing unemployment after completing the 2 year Foundation programme.

Why is this happening? There are not enough training places and too many applicants- many of whom apply to training posts from abroad without any NHS experience.

Currently, the government has launched a bill that attempts to give UK medical graduates (and from next year, doctors with significant NHS experience) priority for specialty training places.

Currently, the bill is in the House of Lords and needs your support!

Any delay to the bill could mean that thousands of UK doctors are left unemployed- so please show your support and sign the below petition.

Many thanks in advance!
