Postgraduate medical recruitment needs accountability, but doctors in the UK are trapped in a system that is devoid of it, say Elgan Manton-Roseblade and @callumwilliams2.bsky.social.
This will continue unless there are financial consequences for ducking accountability

Medical apprenticeships are something the BMA has expressed significant concerns about, and we welcome plans to halt these. We will be watching developments very carefully and will continue to fight for improved medical student funding and WP initiatives. www.telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/l...

The Foundation Doctor allocation process is the entry to the NHS for 10,000 doctors each year but it does not ensure the welfare and retention of incoming doctors!
Launched today: Including prioritising UK medical school graduates in allocation.

The NHS is at risk of alienating a generation of new doctors through an unfair and flawed recruitment system.
