2%!? 2%!? where u get those figures from?
if you mean university medical degrees, the drop out/fail rate is ~10% PER YEAR (and the course is 5 years short)

I work weekends for free!
Not just students, its also those going onto higher qualifications. For instance, from my hospital only 50% of FY2s went onto further qualification in the UK....

I think the NHS does need to wake up and adapt to a 7 day service but our Doctors need to be paid a wage that reflects their responsibility, knowledge and skill.
Why do people keep talking like the NHS only operates Monday to Friday!
I know they don't but the full service should be available 7 days a week. All departments and the pay should reflect a Doctors skill set and knowledge. Instead of paying silly money on overtime.

Why does it need to be available 7 days a week? A&E is a 24x7 service, what's wrong with having an operation scheduled on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday?

just fallen for tory spin hook, line and sinker
you already have a 24/7 NHS! just go to A+E and see for yourself!
what the public doesn't have is a 7 day routine NHS.
if one has a brain bleed/heart attack/stroke/septicaemia/ijustgottapapercut/etc, you WILL get seen AND treated.
what you won't have are routine appointments over the weekend because the government wont budget for it.
and besides, a few areas experimented with 7 day appointments, and guess what, most patients didnt want these appointments - better to see routine stuff in their employers time than their own free time.
Err because there is already long wait times on lots of services.
You think I don't agree with you?
My own personal experience from recent events, A&E is currently acting as a massive plaster covering over the failings of basic service.
People are going straight to A&E to be seen because waiting 2 weeks to see their GP isn't good enough.
unfortunately, this ^ 100 over 5 days vs 100 over 7 days. at the end is still 100.How does spreading the same amount of resources over 7 days instead of 5 fix that?

My giftiend and I are both middle grade anaesthetists and we've spent this evening planning to move once our contracts are up next year. We're not particularly extreme and we've been fairly relaxed about proceedings but in the end what happened today is insulting and it's time to vote with our feet. There's a lot of misunderstanding and trolling in this thread and elsewhere online which has been fairly depressing to read. Good luck UK! Protip: don't vote conservative at the next election and you might stand a chance.
