labour link elections are coming up for unison, it looks like the "time for real change" people are also running their own slate for this. i've only seen one candidate so far for greater london but she explicitly mentions the conclusions of the Forde report so good luck to her

My protest is legitimate unlike all those drat lefties who are just protesting for no reason.

Funnily, the protest of half a dozen guardian wankers probably will be more effective because starmer might actually care what they think.

They loving love this poo poo. They love offloading the easier jobs in healthcare to a lower trained tier who can be kept around more easily than doctors or dentists. The problem is this is already done to an extent - hygenists do the scale/polish work for example. Unless he means to train hygenists or dental nurses to take on simple cases for fillings/extractions, but I don't know enough about dentistry to know if that's even viable.

The state of our health system is loving dire, and doctors and nurses are jumping ship en-masse. Some African countries (I think Malawi possibly) used to train doctors but found they would emigrate to make loads more money than they would locally. To combat this they developed their own not-quite-a-doctor role which meant these people would stay in their country as their qualification wasn't recognised overseas and couldn't be translated as such. I fully expect this will be the future of the NHS. For the oiks they get a Serco sponsored healthcare delivery operative giving them their healthcare. For the wealthy who can go private, they get a doctor. The handful of doctors left in the NHS will be left supervising an ever-growing army of noctors, absorbing a great deal of professional risk until something happens. There will absolutely be a qualitative difference in outcomes.

lmao why would you suggest making amateur dentists out of people who already have jobs? Why wouldn’t you present your crackpot scheme as a way of reducing unemployment?

I guess we can have, like, plumbers filling in for the therapists, then bus drivers can take over some of the plumbing, everyone can sort of pitch in with whatever takes their fancy

This sounds kind of fun. I’m a doctor (not the medical kind, but I think the basic principles are the same); I think it would be neat to try out doing some GP visits or minor office procedures.

I assume by "therapists" Sunak means the broad category of people who don't get to call themselves doctors, so chiropractors, osteopaths, homeopaths, crystal healers will be able to do your filling.
