Why are early career doctors angry?
In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - will go on strike. Just before Christmas and with flu on the rise. This will be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason is pay but coming up behind it as an issue for younger doctors is the question of their futures- they're very unhappy about their working conditions and their career paths. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors?
Guests:
Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor
Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist
Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust.
Presenter: David Aaronovitch
Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming
Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele
Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones
Editor: Richard Vadon
