How have we got into a situation where we don't have enough doctors, but we're also not training enough doctors??
As a teacher I taught many kids who dreamed of going to med school and working in our NHS. Let's give them that opportunity, and train up the next gen of NHS doctors
The Conservatives have slammed the brakes on expanding medical schools.
A Labour government will deliver our commitment to double medical school places, but it is infuriating that the Conservatives are dragging their heels and making our job harder.
