The NHS Paradox

Doctors unemployed… while patients are treated in corridors. In this teaser, we bust the claim that “IMGs are flooding the job market” and look at why the narrative has shifted towards prioritising UK graduates. And as the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill fast-tracks through Parliament, this debate has become even more intense. So, here’s the bigger question: is the NHS sleepwalking into a staffing crisis of its own making? We unpack the myths, the money squeeze, and the workforce planning failures behind this breaking point and ask: what’s the real solution?
