Think the UK has a doctor shortage? Think again.
In this eye-opening breakdown, Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan exposes the real crisis facing British medical graduates today—thousands of qualified doctors stuck in career limbo, not because they aren’t skilled, but because there simply aren’t enough training jobs.
🔍 What you’ll learn in this video:
Why over 30,000 qualified doctors applied for just 10,000 specialty training spots
How competition ratios have skyrocketed (e.g., 73 applicants per cardiothoracic surgery spot)
Why the government added only 90 posts to handle a 30,000-applicant surge
The truth about locum jobs drying up and being filled by international graduates
Why many UK-trained doctors are now leaving for Canada, the US, or Australia
The emotional and financial toll: £50k–£60k debt with no guaranteed training pathway
This isn’t about tuition fees or a lack of people wanting to study medicine.
It’s about a system that trains doctors, then abandons them.
📢 If you’re a medical student, junior doctor, or considering medicine in the UK—this is a must-watch.
