This site aims to bring out the truth about the state of the UKs Four Health Services. (There is no “N” HS) All the world’s health systems are rationed, but the UK rations covertly. Everyone else rations overtly. We reveal the views of current and retired NHS professionals, doctors, nurses and managers in particular. This has never happened in a public domain before. We also report stories of interest in order to provide a context. We offer Exit Interviews to those bold enough. Find out more..

Hi Roger, I think this a good website and can be developed over time. NHS has traditionally been dependent on junior doctors for manning it supervised by their consultants. The problem today is that although there is talk of increased number of doctors at the foundation year 2 and some doctors not getting a post, there are not enough posts for all in training to become consultants. The new changes will see doctors floating in specialist grades. Also, there is a perceived lack of recruitment in the rural areas like pembrokeshire, aberswyth, north wales and a lot of this is blamed on the changes locally and the uncertainity of the posts. Shouldn’t we be thinking of all doctors in training spending some time in the rural communities to make health more equitable and curb such recruitment difficulties as a deanery. Should the trainees not be shared so that training schemes in the rural areas continue to exist and man the local hospitals? I agree that they have to be away from their home, but UK is a small country and travel generally is well connected.
