New doctors say 'impossible' to plan for future

Available for over a year

Newly qualified doctors in the East Midlands say it's impossible to plan for the future. For the second year running a new system allocating their first jobs will leave hundreds not knowing where in the country they'll be working until the last minute. The British Medical Association, the doctor鈥檚 trade union, has now written to the health secretary calling for change. 麻豆社 reporter Charlie Haynes has been looking into the claims, and Dr Hassan Nassar spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Ady Dayman. An NHS England spokesperson said: 鈥淲e have reassured those affected that they will receive a place on a training programme with support available from their foundation schools during the wait - we will continue to work closely with foundation schools to get applicants more information about their programmes as soon as possible.鈥�
