One way to get those numbers in time for CCT

Medical degree possibly a year shorter and straight to work with apprenticeships which must undermine time to study core knowledge. This appears to be risking quality for expediency. BBC News - 'Historic' 15-year plan to boost NHS workforce bbc.co.uk/news/health-66…

Critics of striking medics argue that everyone is suffering at the moment. But doctors & nurses have had it worse. Recent inflation has taken the average UK worker’s real wages 2.5% below their 2009 level, but earnings are down 13% for nurses and 24% (!) for junior doctors.

We see that @SteveBarclay has told @BBCR4today programme he is meeting with doctors later today. Actually he cancelled the 9am meeting we agreed so he could do media, and a further meeting is not yet agreed. Hopefully it will be soon.

🚨By 2pm today FTSE 100 CEOs' earnings for 2023 will surpass the median UK worker’s full time annual salary

Brilliant data journalism from the FT. Here's one for @UKLabour next election...
