UK HAS A RETENTION CRISIS

35% of UK trained Drs are leaving

5000 UK trained nurses are leaving/year

In a global healthcare market for workers the UK is reliant on immigration for over half of #NHS Drs & Nurses

But with pay falling many are choosing better options

#NHSCrisis
Doctors leaving the UK in increasing numbers

Australia, Canada, Saudi, Qatar, New Zealand making it easier for UK Doctors to work

Better pay and conditions

#NHSCrisis ImageImageImageImage
The UK trains a mere 7500 Drs but needs 15000

35% of UK trained Drs are leaving

UK increasingly needs international medical graduates

I am personally very grateful to my IMG colleagues without whom the NHS would have failed ImageImage
Nurses trained in the UK are also leaving

The UK #NHS totally reliant on our international colleagues - thank you

#NHSCrisis Image
GPs leaving too
Stories of those leaving
And if @RishiSunak had been born in 2020 to parents of a GP and pharmacist qualified in 2014 it’s highly possible his parents wouldn’t have stayed & almost certain that he would not have attended private school
@threadreaderapp Unroll thanks

I grew up in Bucks - it’s always been conservative - MP @SteveBakerHW

Chair of the Conservatives @GregHands was in the same year at school

I’m not a left wing activist

I’m a GP of 30yrs that sees the needs & cares

The Govt have got the #NHS so wrong

Time to listen #NHSCrisis Image

RISHI SUNAK’S - PAST MEDICAL HISTORY

Mother a Pharmacist had her own business

Father a GP a well funded GP practice

It should mean he knows the #NHS

But TODAYS pharmacists may be working in Boots, GPs struggling with workload & funding, & Rishi’s life would be different
🧵1 Image
Things have changed a lot in the past 40yrs

Drs & pharmacists find themselves with large student debts, lower pay & a much more uncertain future

Income for GPs has reduced 30-40% in real terms

A pharmacist is likely to be in a large multiple pharmacy chain not an owner

🧵2 Image
Doctors & pharmacists are choosing different paths to Rishi’s parents in the 80’s & 90’s

Instead of opening the UK to talent, the current pay and conditions, have lead to an increasing exodus of talented medics

Australia, Qatar, Canada, Saudi & NZ opening doors

THE UK IS DYING

Since 2010 there has been a flattening of life expectancy

You are more likely to die younger in more deprived areas

250000 people have died earlier than expected taking away Covid deaths & compared to other EU nations

🧵1

THE UK IS DYING

The spend on health in the UK has risen particularly during the pandemic

However it is lower than comparable nations

The austerity affecting Health & Social care is having a major effect

#NHS
THE UK IS DYING

The excess deaths in UK are multi-factorial

Many waiting treatments / investigations

Delays in 999 transfers & A&E treatments

Increase in morbidity due to lack of treatment

GP Partners

GPs earn a fantastic income compared with most

But it’s been the about the same since 2004

Maybe that’s fine

But have invested in Primary Care & continued to provide care by employing more staff, supplementing costs & on average lost 40% income

#teamGP Thank you!
GP - Salaried income

This has increased yearly but lags far behind inflation

There is not enough funding in General Practice to pay staff in line with inflation

Partners have subsidised any increases
GP Funding

This has reduced compared with increase in demand

Much of NHS work has been moved to the community

But funding hasn’t followed the work
