Would you be happy to pay an extra £2,000 per household to fund a better NHS?

Yes we should be training more BUT less people are applying for training and we are struggling now! Hence having to go overseas to recruit...Nursing needs to be more attractive as a career..
The govt limits the number of Brits who can train as nurses and doctors. That’s why we have a shortage. It’s insane.
Why do you need a degree and a mountain of graduate tax / debt to become a nurse ?
Degree only was announced in 2013..way nursing has changed advanced level of practice, it is thought to increase skills, be more analytical and independent, nurses taking over more Dr tasks.I do not necessarily agree with this degree only!
You go private lol.
I don’t have private health care. I also the child of an NHS GP. But facts, eh?
The job of a parent has no relevance. Why are you quitlings so obsessed with what people's parents did?
It's getting very dangerous. I had to take over the critically important pre-surgery questions being asked of an elderly person when I recently accompanied them to hospital for a life-saving procedure as the nurse's accent was so strong and her English so weak. Nurse thanked me!
My great uncle was in a&e he struggled to understand what the doctor was saying when he asked him what he's saying and told him he's struggling to understand his accent he was called racist refused treatment and when he protested saying he's not , security were called !!
that's terrible....they should have offered another doctor...You have actually paid into the system...they have no right to turn you away...
Best thing is he has a thick Glaswegian accent and talks fast , and the nurses kept asking him to repeat himself , (my mrs is the same with him lol I have to translate) but he took no offence , it's ridiculous
So why did your government take the nursing student bursary away then ?
I can remember when British trained nurses couldn't get jobs when they qualified. What I can't remember is when it was. Something changed around then and we stopped training. All of a sudden we were short and here we are. Shit management.
Try being Deaf. It's a nightmare.
Your gambit should of opened with blaming the government, but you had to dog whistle instead.. I mean actually, it's not even that discrete.
Foreign nurses or Doctors who speak English badly are a danger. Communication problems could cause fatalities
A quick google search on shit government policy around funding bursaries would have been helpful to you as a ermmm journalist. But no you like trying stir up the bigots instead...
