A rescue plan for doctors unable to get a training post under a controversial new system has being drawn up by NHS managers. A leaked document reveals a number of ideas, including asking a charity if it could take doctors to work overseas. There has been intense criticism of the system, which is set to leave thousands of doctors without training posts. NHS bosses say there will be jobs - but doctors complain these posts will not involve any training. NHS Employers drew up the proposals after it was estimated there have been around 10,000 more applications than there are jobs for trainees. Between 500 and 1,300 of those doctors about to finish their foundation training, and will be the focus of the rescue scheme. The other applicants will be in the equivalent "old-fashioned" post of senior house officer or working in other roles in the NHS, perhaps as locum doctors or in long-term non-training posts. Some applicants will be working outside the NHS.

One thing i can never understand is the extremely ludicrous policies of the government even in critical cases like HealthCare etc. How can government be high handed in such type of cases?? We cannot gamble with policies involving doctors and the medical trainees as they are the ones who are on the path of being life saviours. We should provide ample opportunities for their growth and increase in number. One never knows when the time of crisis arrives. Most doctors are forced to take up training courses abroad due to ridiculous policies of the government. It should retain such talents and give them ample space here in our country itself. People getting trained outside have to face the wrath anytime from the government, even when they are on the correct side. This should not be the case.
