I am currently in NHS training meaning that I attend university and work for the NHS part time. I am fortunate in that I get paid a salary for this ( unlike many of my AHP colleagues).
However, all this talk around the manifestos of the political parties and the NHS is making me feel so angry.
To gain a place on my training you need to be extremely committed and show an excellent history of both academic work and clinical skills. It is very competitive, however I know so many people who are struggling (myself included) and considering leaving entirely. It has made my life hell for 3 years.
AIBU to think that it needs to be looked at if we want to train and retain good and enthusiastic staff?
