The sad part is that when you reach 40 you just run out of time to do new things. And GPs not funding work it's absurd, they probably demanding 150k a year. It's a mentality and sometimes your confidence gets knocked down.
Same here, saved some money to start a business but I don't have skills and for sure I won't invest in the UK or Europe due to tax legal theft..

The point I’m trying to say is that there will always be very well trained and experienced doctors from abroad and it makes no sense to lower competition for jobs by excluding them. Even if other systems of education are the as competitive. If UK educated doctors are still not as competitive as foreign trained doctors when applying for the training then surely it’s a matter of raising entry standards for the courses even higher rather than excluding doctors from abroad. This seems to me more important than any other sector as the job roles carry enormous responsibility. It is harsh but would you really want it any other way when you’re on the operating table or if your mild symptoms turned out to be something more sinister.
I worked for NHS “procurement” in the 1980s, back then the big contracts were in place but we could ignore them,so we saved thousands by going to local suppliers. At the time it was a bit of an in joke on how bad the contracts with the likes of Thorn-EMI were, in terms of cost and service level agreement.
It's worrying that private healthcare is the direction of where healthcare is going because I certainly can't afford private. I can see healthcare professionals going to Australia but that route will eventually dry up, as so many have already gone this route and it'll eventually reach capacity. I think the government needs to change the model or create a new model for clinics, maybe where the government have doctors on the government payroll(I'm not familiar with how GP practices work, so I can't really give much of a solution). In my case, I have tried to break into the creative industry for a long time(over a decade) but only had some sporadic opportunities and I now work in an office for a small charity. The creative industry always have exciting work but there's way too many people wanting to get into it and an overbundance of graduates. Also, artists have it even harder because their profession isn't even recognised as being a job or job category, and it's even harder to find a stable income or even work. Added to that, AI is able to create art and designs now. People might think why would you want to pursue art or creative work? But I think it's both a passion and there isn't certainty of work now in other professions. I worry about my future because I'm in my late 30s and only at the start of working life. Previously, I worked in fast food and was unemployed for an extended amount of time. I would say I've lost more than a decade of experience to build up a career. I'm unsure what I can do to advance upwards in the career ladder because my passion is in creating art or graphics but I'm in an office job and an organisation that doesn't have positions to promote into. I can only carry on and see what happens next, as it seems planning is challenging right now.
That's scary. I work for a small start up and took on a mortgage recently. Drained all my savings for deposit, I don't wanna lose a job with zero savings. I used to have over 6 months living expenses saved but I thought a roof over the family's head is worth the risk😢
@@BigBrother04 it certainly is worrying. I'm a SE and it's dire out there in the job market. I'm trying to save as much as possible as the new CEO at where I work has been on a crusade to reduce the headcount and job seeking has gone poorly since I started 3 months ago. The market just seems dead.
@@ohwhatworld5851 Personally I'm not sure, although the trend is as seeing was jobs were asking for, say a frontend web developer, but then wanting a frontend developer to be equipped to do backend/database tasks, so asking for more, paying much less. I know that recently there have been more software developers than there are jobs, this was not the case in the past.

Has that more to ddo with the fact that most software does not work, is unreliable and full of bugs. Many I.T. workers do not know low level technologies. Many have a superficial knowledge of software and try and get by with winging it 😏 Perhaps, they being founf out!
@@LA-fr7fx Testing always gets low priority - this is why so much software is buggy and basically junk. Testing takes time - usually twice the amount it takes to develop - so project managers are always under pressure to devote a token period for testing and release crap software that is then fixed in future patches. The result is furious end users and high bug fixing costs, but nobody really cares.
Even jobs like financial crime investigations are being outsourced to contractors in Poland and India. What's scary is we deal with highly sensitive information and the board wants to outsource all this to other jurisdictions.
I get told the same working in finance. Had an introduction with a recruiter recently and within the first minute they asked what the hell I'm still doing in the UK
So professionals should leave countries and continents behind, if the leadership decides to turn job applications in health care into algorithms and promotional exercises and maybe wonders why the work force is better at advertising and no so good at the actual work? @JensInAust
It's bleak out there for independent consultants and self-employed. The government is misplaced in thinking all these experienced consultants will be hired in perm roles. There is a lack of investment in skills by employers compared to other G7 countries.
The state of the UK job market is horror. Its completely cooked right now. I graduated with a degree in Software Engineering in 2021 and I havent been able to find work in my field. I am 26 years old and currently I work as an Apprentice SOC Analyst which I started last week. It is a Level 4 Apprenticeship and the salary is £21000. Its sad that I havent been able to find work in my field and also sad that I have to do a Level 4 Apprenticeship when I am degree qualified. The salary isnt great either. I got 3 Bs in Maths, Physics and Chemistry A-Level which was very difficult too. The UK has no future unfortunately because the Government just dont care about young people. I think the best thing would be to move abroad but its also difficult to relocate.
@RickyHarrisGolf Yh mate. Its rough out there. There is literally no work in many fields. Thats why so many people work in basic services like shops and stuff. Most of the workforce is stuck behind a till point. I worked in retail for 3 years cause I couldnt find a tech role. And now I'm doing a Level 4 Apprenticeship when I have a degree. Its so fucking shit.
@RickyHarrisGolfTbf it is an apprenticeship. When he's qualified, he'll earn more than me. I'm a network engineer on £43K in the north west. But once he's qualified he could expect to earn £50K in today's terms
@@AkbarManUnitedrelatable. Even the unskilled roles are being filled by ‘international students’ and new arrivals. Nothing against them but its a clear observation.
SOC Analyst, even as an apprentice and you're complaining? You're nearly there. The further you progress along SOC/CyberSec/InfoSec, the more you will come across scripting and programming...
there are no jobs. The government many years ago created a divide and rule system for GPs which stratified them as locums, salaried or partners and pitted each against the other. Since they flooded GP practices with cheaper ANPs, PAs, physios and paramedics there has been little incentive to hire any new GPs in any of the above 3 designations if you run a GP practice. This has led to sharp drops in number of GP jobs available and pay rates. The locum jobs have collapsed in particular. You'd have to be insane to try to become a GP now.
weve followed the neoliberal path far too long, where we are scared to tax billionaires a bit and would rather squeeze the sick, the old, the unemployed and the working poor
Interesting. We have GP surgeries closing in Pembrokeshire, as there are too many vacancies unfilled, and the local hospital has vacancies in every department
The Tories have a lot to answer for! Millions on NHS waiting lists, it takes weeks (if not months) to get a GP appointment. Doctors leaving the UK for better paid roles overseas and the young ones taking non-medical work to survive. This is a national disgrace!
Lots of great health professionals out there who are doing a fantastic job in their own roles, but people know when they want to see a doctor. When you want to see a doctor, you want to see a doctor, if you want to see a pharmacist, you’ll go to see a pharmacist. The government needs to give people a bit more credit and intelligence!
I used to think this but the real issue is the red tape that stops doctors doing their job. The amount of paperwork they have to fill in to admit one patient to hospital is a joke.
Yes it’s tough. IT specialist for 25 years and likewise struggling. It’s ageism plain and simple. In the diversity stakes ageism is recognised and illegal, but it is at very bottom of pile these days. Way behind genders (various😂), disability, ethnicity etc. it’s paid lip service to in diversity.
@@gaycha6589 Also some technology has spoilt some jobs for pple.Eg..tge apps for accounting for businesses etc..And now they are trying to push Nurses to be "the new GP's"..To cut down on money..But it's up to everyone whom they want to be seen with.
@@gaycha6589What kinda IT specialist btw? I'm in the north west, our head offices are in the Midlands and we have plenty of jobs available I'm a network engineer myself
Shocking to read all these comments from highly qualified people that can’t find work and yet our government is insisting we can’t retire until we reach our late 60s.
Dr Abdul, get your facts right please. The recruitment process always ranks applicants based on UK residency/citizenship status. This is a verifiable fact! Everything else you said about other things are correct.
This is the whole issue. This never should be aloud to be put in place. Having GP practices as profit making enterprises is not what the NHS is about. Our local GP practice is not working. Can’t get a GP appointment.
It's the best way to run the system otherwise NHS primary care with become a money furnace that hospitals are. The for profit element of GP practices is why primary care has been run on a shoestring budget for 10 years. GP practices are the most efficient part of the NHS.
This is a crazy system when you consider that in some areas getting an appointment with a Dr is like finding the Holy Grail. So we have an NHS that is on its knees and loads of Drs looking for jobs. How does that tally? I guess the bottom line is money, and paying the cheapest person to do the job that someone more qualified should be doing.
GP practices can’t afford to pay GPs because of budget cuts by the Conservative Party. But like I always say:’This is what the people voted for!’ Shame!
As regards HDMI cables and similar. They can be a security risk. When you’re dealing with extremely sensitive personal information en masse it’s extremely important that as many risks as possible are eliminated.
My opinion and own experience. You go where the job is. If you don’t even consider leaving the town or city you live, you cannot complain much. Of course there are GP jobs!
Few years ago I finished healthcare assistant L2 , I would like ro get a job now and I was applying for few jobs but because of no experience I can't get a job.I want to finish L3 course but I can't because I don't work in the NHS. So now I am asking if there are crying there are not enough health care workers why I can't get a job?
a requisite of open borders which effects every sector and industry. Ive also noticed less and less jobs for school leavers,, im referring to service or retail the jobs have dried up or taken by overseas students...an observation
They want you to get a job yet there is no jobs , and they ask for 2 years experience with most jobs , how we supposed to get experience if they wont give us a chance
@DT-rb7ro Yes, I know, but that should not be an option. Cos people have family, etc, it's really hard to pack your bags and leave. Of I was to leave, then I would definitely go to US
My friend has a successful OF business, but it's getting competitive, so he now started a side gig treating patients with pain after failed surgeries and mismanagement by incorrect medications so he now spends a lot of time fixing there problems by selling them drugs to get high
I am confused about the UK job market for doctors. First of all, what does Dr Abdul mean by "not enough training position to be a specialist for qualified GP"? After medical students (like Dr Abdul) graduate from universities, they need to get trainee doctor jobs and work for a couple of years to become a qualified GP, right? My confusion is whether the issue is about unemployed medical graduates couldn't find their first full-time job. Sounds like it's more about the next step according to Dr Abdul, where full-time job income for a qualified GP is so low that GPs need to become specialists to make ends meet. If that's the case then become a qualified GP can still gets you a stable low pay job for life, just not as much as a plumber or electrician
The main issue appears to me to be funding, talked about around 3:08 in the video. I heard a report a couple of weeks ago on the radio how additional funding for GP practices was mandated to be spent on Physician Associates , Pharmacists leading to doctors who had qualified into the specialism of General Practise not being able to find jobs.
My daughter and her fiancé are both qualified GPs. When their current contract finishes, both will be out of work. Neither of the two family practices can afford to keep them and they are being replaced by nurse practitioners etc. They are trying to find new jobs, but there are now 40 applicants per vacancy in their area of the North West, an area where it has been traditionally difficult to recruit GPs. I personally supported my daughter’s training 100% during her 7 years of training in Malta, paying all the costs with no expense to the UK Govt. She didn’t get a penny from them. It looks to me that my gift and her 9 years of training have been a complete waste. It’s OK giving doctors a pay rise as that is not going to require any funding if you don’t then increase the funding to the healthcare practices. They did the same to teachers too.
How can any business be expected to thrive with top heavy middle management. This however is mandated by GOVT middle management that requires obstacle courses between the owner, and the owners customers. Lawing up for bad apples tax's the whole system to death rather than relying on reputation.
Locum GP’s earn around £1000 per day. Of course not areas will have vacancies. There are other Healthcare practitioners taking roles such as nurses & pharmacists at a cheaper price. They should also employ more optometrists to address eye care issues.
The uk is heading towards privatisation, their are companys i have seen already offering supporting NHS care with private as a package ,as a prop up ,so i believe its slowly on its way ,look it up
This is effecting many people with lots of different jobs I have 33 years experience 22 years I worked in the betting industry which means I have cash handling experience working with thousands of pounds as well as accounting experience as I managed and had to work out the figures for daily income and out goings I also have retail experience As well as I now have just over a years teaching assistants experience And various qualifications I been off for a month now because of hospital treatment And I’m struggling to get work at the moment I relay on working as I don’t get any other support
Inmgration. Blame the politicians you voted for thats why we cant get work and it will get worse. Dont worry about these few boats coming across the channel worry about the number of people coming on legal visas.
Surely Doctor roles will be diluted as AI starts to become more trusted and then the nurses will take more roles and what we know as doctor jobs will be fewer and fewer . So not a job for life .
AI can't get more trusted. It has a threshold it can't overcome. It does not matter how much data or compute you will build your LLM on, AI will always be unreliable for things that are no mainstream. Companies that build these systems will not take responsibility for their system mistakes, who will then? The clients? Dream on. AI is marketing trick and it is useless everywhere there where a single mistake can ruin you or your business. It can be a tool under human supervision but nothing more. Let it work on its own and it will take you to the cleaners in a very short time.

It's worrying that private healthcare is the direction of where healthcare is going because I certainly can't afford private. I can see healthcare professionals going to Australia but that route will eventually dry up, as so many have already gone this route and it'll eventually reach capacity. I think the government needs to change the model or create a new model for clinics, maybe where the government have doctors on the government payroll(I'm not familiar with how GP practices work, so I can't really give much of a solution).
In my case, I have tried to break into the creative industry for a long time(over a decade) but only had some sporadic opportunities and I now work in an office for a small charity. The creative industry always have exciting work but there's way too many people wanting to get into it and an overbundance of graduates. Also, artists have it even harder because their profession isn't even recognised as being a job or job category, and it's even harder to find a stable income or even work. Added to that, AI is able to create art and designs now. People might think why would you want to pursue art or creative work? But I think it's both a passion and there isn't certainty of work now in other professions.
I worry about my future because I'm in my late 30s and only at the start of working life. Previously, I worked in fast food and was unemployed for an extended amount of time. I would say I've lost more than a decade of experience to build up a career. I'm unsure what I can do to advance upwards in the career ladder because my passion is in creating art or graphics but I'm in an office job and an organisation that doesn't have positions to promote into. I can only carry on and see what happens next, as it seems planning is challenging right now.
It's been super tough in the software/web development sector as well. Been interesting to see your videos on the job struggles.
That's scary. I work for a small start up and took on a mortgage recently. Drained all my savings for deposit, I don't wanna lose a job with zero savings. I used to have over 6 months living expenses saved but I thought a roof over the family's head is worth the risk😢
@@BigBrother04 it certainly is worrying. I'm a SE and it's dire out there in the job market. I'm trying to save as much as possible as the new CEO at where I work has been on a crusade to reduce the headcount and job seeking has gone poorly since I started 3 months ago. The market just seems dead.
What do you think the causes are? Market saturation? Or less demand because of low-code platforms like Bubble or Webflow?
@@ohwhatworld5851 Personally I'm not sure, although the trend is as seeing was jobs were asking for, say a frontend web developer, but then wanting a frontend developer to be equipped to do backend/database tasks, so asking for more, paying much less. I know that recently there have been more software developers than there are jobs, this was not the case in the past.
@@ohwhatworld5851 outsourcing to European countries for dev squads and so limited need for developers based on the UK now. It’s all about the cheapest resource on short project cycles.
Good chat this one. Serious shame that homegrown talent isn’t being used/advanced.
Not just under used, we're under attack.
IT is another professional area in very deep crap right now. Salaries are being frozen and everyone lives in fear.
1. AI and
2. Overseas workers.
Covid WFH was a perfect testing ground, it allowed companies to learn how to operate with away workers, wether they are in the UK or abroad is irrelevant when it comes to WFH.
Has that more to ddo with the fact that most software does not work, is unreliable and full of bugs. Many I.T. workers do not know low level technologies. Many have a superficial knowledge of software and try and get by with winging it 😏 Perhaps, they being founf out!
@@LA-fr7fx Testing always gets low priority - this is why so much software is buggy and basically junk. Testing takes time - usually twice the amount it takes to develop - so project managers are always under pressure to devote a token period for testing and release crap software that is then fixed in future patches. The result is furious end users and high bug fixing costs, but nobody really cares.
Really good video 😊
We need less managers and more clinical staff. Red tape is also an issue, minimising that would double the capacity of nhs.
💯 agree
I turned 30 last year; worked in finance and energy as a data analyst. MSc degree holder.
Haven’t secured any job yet this year
Data analyst ? Sounds boring and pretty easy. No wonder no one wants you.
@@merlin7654
they are useless to nearly all businesses
i think it depends on where you got your MSc, if it's from UCL, Durham, etc, you should be highly sought after
Even jobs like financial crime investigations are being outsourced to contractors in Poland and India. What's scary is we deal with highly sensitive information and the board wants to outsource all this to other jurisdictions.
Leave for greener pastures. A young UK-trained doctor should have no trouble being accepted into Australia and finding work.
I get told the same working in finance. Had an introduction with a recruiter recently and within the first minute they asked what the hell I'm still doing in the UK
He can easily get a visa and a job in the US
@@jawlig 😛 recruiters are sales people, they like to talk like that. They got you interviews for work abroad then? Good luck
So professionals should leave countries and continents behind, if the leadership decides to turn job applications in health care into algorithms and promotional exercises and maybe wonders why the work force is better at advertising and no so good at the actual work? @JensInAust
It's bleak out there for independent consultants and self-employed. The government is misplaced in thinking all these experienced consultants will be hired in perm roles. There is a lack of investment in skills by employers compared to other G7 countries.
The state of the UK job market is horror. Its completely cooked right now.
I graduated with a degree in Software Engineering in 2021 and I havent been able to find work in my field.
I am 26 years old and currently I work as an Apprentice SOC Analyst which I started last week. It is a Level 4 Apprenticeship and the salary is £21000.
Its sad that I havent been able to find work in my field and also sad that I have to do a Level 4 Apprenticeship when I am degree qualified. The salary isnt great either.
I got 3 Bs in Maths, Physics and Chemistry A-Level which was very difficult too.
The UK has no future unfortunately because the Government just dont care about young people.
I think the best thing would be to move abroad but its also difficult to relocate.
@RickyHarrisGolf Yh mate. Its rough out there. There is literally no work in many fields.
Thats why so many people work in basic services like shops and stuff. Most of the workforce is stuck behind a till point. I worked in retail for 3 years cause I couldnt find a tech role. And now I'm doing a Level 4 Apprenticeship when I have a degree.
Its so fucking shit.
@RickyHarrisGolfTbf it is an apprenticeship. When he's qualified, he'll earn more than me. I'm a network engineer on £43K in the north west. But once he's qualified he could expect to earn £50K in today's terms
Overpopulation everywhere the same@@AkbarManUnited
@@AkbarManUnitedrelatable. Even the unskilled roles are being filled by ‘international students’ and new arrivals. Nothing against them but its a clear observation.
SOC Analyst, even as an apprentice and you're complaining? You're nearly there.
The further you progress along SOC/CyberSec/InfoSec, the more you will come across scripting and programming...
Good video and very insightful.
It was surprising to hear that GPs can't find work when you have to wait weeks for an appointment.
there are no jobs. The government many years ago created a divide and rule system for GPs which stratified them as locums, salaried or partners and pitted each against the other. Since they flooded GP practices with cheaper ANPs, PAs, physios and paramedics there has been little incentive to hire any new GPs in any of the above 3 designations if you run a GP practice. This has led to sharp drops in number of GP jobs available and pay rates. The locum jobs have collapsed in particular. You'd have to be insane to try to become a GP now.
This country seems to be bonkers now ..... 😕
weve followed the neoliberal path far too long, where we are scared to tax billionaires a bit and would rather squeeze the sick, the old, the unemployed and the working poor
If you squeeze billionaires, they will just leave@skyblazeeterno
Interesting. We have GP surgeries closing in Pembrokeshire, as there are too many vacancies unfilled, and the local hospital has vacancies in every department
IR35 is the reason I retired early. 60% tax was just too much.
if you add all the taxes, including councle tax, vat, and inflation its well above 60%
The Tories have a lot to answer for! Millions on NHS waiting lists, it takes weeks (if not months) to get a GP appointment. Doctors leaving the UK for better paid roles overseas and the young ones taking non-medical work to survive. This is a national disgrace!
@thaumaturgeishere331 was it not Gordon Brown who threw money at GP surgeries and turned them into businesses?
@@anthonyferris8912 no. Its as he said, the tories fault. Its objectice fact.
Brown was gone over a decade ago.
That was very interesting, thank you.
Even in other sectors, companies are behaving strange with ridiculously unrealistic requirements, a slap in the face to the newly qualified.
No luck with any jobs my self got a stem degree from top uni and have seen jobs posting for 21k😂 what’s that all about
This has been the case for decades.
I recall back in 2000 trying to get my first job.
Nightmare.
Lots of great health professionals out there who are doing a fantastic job in their own roles, but people know when they want to see a doctor. When you want to see a doctor, you want to see a doctor, if you want to see a pharmacist, you’ll go to see a pharmacist. The government needs to give people a bit more credit and intelligence!
Too many managers in the NHS.
I used to think this but the real issue is the red tape that stops doctors doing their job. The amount of paperwork they have to fill in to admit one patient to hospital is a joke.
And they are largely pretty bad managers
The UK job sector is getting scary, l have been looking for 5years. Being an Accountant for 20 years and can't get a job.
Try outside your region.
Yes it’s tough. IT specialist for 25 years and likewise struggling. It’s ageism plain and simple. In the diversity stakes ageism is recognised and illegal, but it is at very bottom of pile these days. Way behind genders (various😂), disability, ethnicity etc. it’s paid lip service to in diversity.
you need to try everywhere not just your city.
@@gaycha6589 Also some technology has spoilt some jobs for pple.Eg..tge apps for accounting for businesses etc..And now they are trying to push Nurses to be "the new GP's"..To cut down on money..But it's up to everyone whom they want to be seen with.
@@gaycha6589What kinda IT specialist btw? I'm in the north west, our head offices are in the Midlands and we have plenty of jobs available
I'm a network engineer myself
Years ago a nurse or GP trained studied and got a job straight after
Shocking to read all these comments from highly qualified people that can’t find work and yet our government is insisting we can’t retire until we reach our late 60s.
And you still can't get a gp appointment in less then 2 weeks 😢.... madness....
I recommend everybody to read this book.
It’s called:
NHS for SALE!👍
Dr Abdul, get your facts right please. The recruitment process always ranks applicants based on UK residency/citizenship status. This is a verifiable fact!
Everything else you said about other things are correct.
Great interview, there were many points mentioned that you would never hear on mainstream media.
Both are spot on. Plz next time , manage a good microphone . sou nd is bit low i guess.
GP Practices should not be 'businesses needing to make a profit.'
But they are, my mums GP practice is owned by an American corporation, I think most will be bought up soon
This is the whole issue. This never should be aloud to be put in place. Having GP practices as profit making enterprises is not what the NHS is about. Our local GP practice is not working. Can’t get a GP appointment.
It's the best way to run the system otherwise NHS primary care with become a money furnace that hospitals are.
The for profit element of GP practices is why primary care has been run on a shoestring budget for 10 years.
GP practices are the most efficient part of the NHS.
@@pythonquark It's a simple conflict of interests.
@@Londonstani72 Yes, they are and it's a simple conflict of interests.
Since 55% who work for the NHS are 'administrators' then that's the area if you want a job.
This is a crazy system when you consider that in some areas getting an appointment with a Dr is like finding the Holy Grail. So we have an NHS that is on its knees and loads of Drs looking for jobs. How does that tally? I guess the bottom line is money, and paying the cheapest person to do the job that someone more qualified should be doing.
The govt obviously wants the NHS privatised
A great interview!
I can't to see or speak to my GP. I guess they must be out driving Ubas. 😆
😂 and stocking shelves at Tesco.
GP practices can’t afford to pay GPs because of budget cuts by the Conservative Party.
But like I always say:’This is what the people voted for!’
Shame!
As regards HDMI cables and similar. They can be a security risk. When you’re dealing with extremely sensitive personal information en masse it’s extremely important that as many risks as possible are eliminated.
All these degree holders struggling to work yet the kid who left school with 2 GCSEs working as a plumber living good. LOL.
My opinion and own experience. You go where the job is. If you don’t even consider leaving the town or city you live, you cannot complain much. Of course there are GP jobs!
Interesting reality check there!
All that GP training and stress for very little!
Cannot hear you turn up your sound recording.
Dang, there was this doctor at work who can't even spell paracetamol, it's insane
Few years ago I finished healthcare assistant L2 , I would like ro get a job now and I was applying for few jobs but because of no experience I can't get a job.I want to finish L3 course but I can't because I don't work in the NHS. So now I am asking if there are crying there are not enough health care workers why I can't get a job?
a requisite of open borders which effects every sector and industry. Ive also noticed less and less jobs for school leavers,, im referring to service or retail the jobs have dried up or taken by overseas students...an observation

All the studying as well
Can you not set up your own gp practice potentially? I have a dream of having a café/ bookshop with health centre - but I don't know if its possible
There are perpetually thousands of jobs available in the NHS for medical doctors, just not as much for GPs.
They want you to get a job yet there is no jobs , and they ask for 2 years experience with most jobs , how we supposed to get experience if they wont give us a chance
Apparently its the same for nurses aswell, i just started me nursing degree 😅
Once qualified you can be a nurse in high paying countries ❤
@DT-rb7ro Yes, I know, but that should not be an option. Cos people have family, etc, it's really hard to pack your bags and leave. Of I was to leave, then I would definitely go to US
@@xavier4260 The world is your oyster. Chase your dreams x
My friend has a successful OF business, but it's getting competitive, so he now started a side gig treating patients with pain after failed surgeries and mismanagement by incorrect medications so he now spends a lot of time fixing there problems by selling them drugs to get high
Thas deep
Massive drop in volume in the interview.
I am confused about the UK job market for doctors. First of all, what does Dr Abdul mean by "not enough training position to be a specialist for qualified GP"? After medical students (like Dr Abdul) graduate from universities, they need to get trainee doctor jobs and work for a couple of years to become a qualified GP, right? My confusion is whether the issue is about unemployed medical graduates couldn't find their first full-time job. Sounds like it's more about the next step according to Dr Abdul, where full-time job income for a qualified GP is so low that GPs need to become specialists to make ends meet. If that's the case then become a qualified GP can still gets you a stable low pay job for life, just not as much as a plumber or electrician
The main issue appears to me to be funding, talked about around 3:08 in the video. I heard a report a couple of weeks ago on the radio how additional funding for GP practices was mandated to be spent on Physician Associates , Pharmacists leading to doctors who had qualified into the specialism of General Practise not being able to find jobs.
My daughter and her fiancé are both qualified GPs. When their current contract finishes, both will be out of work. Neither of the two family practices can afford to keep them and they are being replaced by nurse practitioners etc.
They are trying to find new jobs, but there are now 40 applicants per vacancy in their area of the North West, an area where it has been traditionally difficult to recruit GPs.
I personally supported my daughter’s training 100% during her 7 years of training in Malta, paying all the costs with no expense to the UK Govt. She didn’t get a penny from them.
It looks to me that my gift and her 9 years of training have been a complete waste.
It’s OK giving doctors a pay rise as that is not going to require any funding if you don’t then increase the funding to the healthcare practices.
They did the same to teachers too.
How can any business be expected to thrive with top heavy middle management. This however is mandated by GOVT middle management that requires obstacle courses between the owner, and the owners customers. Lawing up for bad apples tax's the whole system to death rather than relying on reputation.

Don't complain. If you cant find a GP job in the UK go abroad. Better pay, lower taxes and an easier job
INSANE!!!!!!!!!
Locum GP’s earn around £1000 per day. Of course not areas will have vacancies. There are other Healthcare practitioners taking roles such as nurses & pharmacists at a cheaper price. They should also employ more optometrists to address eye care issues.
If they get paid that much then how will all the other areas get the required funding let alone nurses over working for a lot less pay!
They do not get paid that much!

A lot of money wasted. Managers who do not know what they are doing. Staff dedicated, hard working and degraded.
Surely Doctor roles will be diluted as AI starts to become more trusted and then the nurses will take more roles and what we know as doctor jobs will be fewer and fewer . So not a job for life .
AI could potentially have less misdiagnosis than actual Dts
AI can't get more trusted. It has a threshold it can't overcome. It does not matter how much data or compute you will build your LLM on, AI will always be unreliable for things that are no mainstream. Companies that build these systems will not take responsibility for their system mistakes, who will then? The clients? Dream on. AI is marketing trick and it is useless everywhere there where a single mistake can ruin you or your business. It can be a tool under human supervision but nothing more. Let it work on its own and it will take you to the cleaners in a very short time.
