Partha Kar: The new storm propagated by poor medical workforce planning is now upon us
A storm is brewing in the NHS medical workforce. The problem is a lack of jobs for doctors, resulting in questions about competition for jobs between local graduates and international medical graduates (IMGs). An artificial bottleneck has been created by pushing for more medical school places in the NHS long term workforce plan,1 despite not enough jobs being available for those graduating.2 The NHS has also ignored the rising tide of locally employed doctors, mostly IMGs.3 A lack of clear direction for these roles leaves those locally employed doctors without career prospects and increases competition for jobs.
