I cannot express this enough, especially for someone like me who is the first in my family to go to university, decided to do medicine in my 20s and taken two years out of medical school to work due to the financial strain. This along with the lack of funding is really deterring great people.
"A medical student in the UK can end up with debt of £100 000 before earning a penny as a qualified doctor. Is this how we want young people to start their working lives?"
