DEI strikes again. At this rate, Baby Doctors will never grow up.

Once they get onto the ethnic minorities thing, be very wary of being treated by a doctor from an ethnic minority. You don't know whether they are just in the job because they are part of a quota. It's similar to the DEI in the Secret Service in the USA

[doriangray]

Let's get real, the quality of medical care in the UK at the moment is poor
One GP and two hospital doctors failed to diagnose kidney stones

[joelhall]

Ahhh, so it's more wokeness and DEI

[raycundy]

So yet again, a system that has always worked has now been changed to help ethnic minorities. As for the doctors who want to work near their loved ones (does that mean immediate family like wife and kids or aunts and uncles etc?), surely they knew that having to work anywhere in the country was part of the role they would have as a doctor?

You can deny reality, but you can't deny the consequences of reality

*“From Merit allocation to Random Allocation”*
No it’s not *“Random Allocation”* it’s *“Diverse Equity and Inlcusivity Allocation”*

Highest achievers will go abroad... !!!

Thank god I never went to uni. What a complete waste of money.

This is what happens when you give everyone a trophy

[AndrewJepson-snyg]

DEI has nothing to do with levelling the playing field, it is about levelling down to the lowest common denominator.... this will lead to more strain on the NHS and probably more compensation Old Labour may have created the NHS, but current Labour wants it privatised by the back door, take a close look at Blairs PFI contracts.... Currently costing the NHS around 30 billion, before they even treat a patient....

We do not need the very best, we need everyone very good .

[clivemarriott]

Life is not perfect and humans are not the robots lefties assume they are. failing to reward people for all their hard work and commitment is hurtful and unkind. The most efficient allocation of resources is merit based. This is what happens in nature and it works.

[miniward]

All NHS Hospital Nursing staff need the ABILITY to read & Understand NOTES in English especially those of Spinally injured patients: Our 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Education system needs UPDATING…. 💬Had a minuscule of common sense been used, my paralysed husband could have still been alive⚰️ I know his notes were NOT READ, therefore, his NEEDS were completely IGNORED❗️

'Meritocracy' being negated in the medical field just makes the whole pandemic fiasco even creepier.

[MinkieWinkle]

So basically,


Now, poor preforming students, students that show little to no dedication to education, as such having lower grades could now be picked over the better skilled, better qualified hard working students


Talk about removing any reason to try hard.

[lulabellegnostic]

Next we’ll see them given exam passes based on ‘deserved to pass’ rather than actual pass.

[Gazooka]

We need people with an actual spine, who also take pride in their work, the best workers should receive the best pay, regardless of how much bitching there is from those at bottom of the test score. Want more money, work harder. Simple.

Even though it sadly doesn’t work like that, it damn well should. The more qualifications you have, the better the salary. And even better if you have experience.

[kylemenos]

Nothing says work hard like rolling dice and lowering test requirements.

[MarkWhitworth-qi]

I wonder what will happen to medical outcomes 🤔
