| 1353 | Idris | Harding | Far too prescriptive, designed to corral trainees to fit this year's service delivery requirements rather than develop a wide range of skills they might need in the future. |
| 1354 | Navjeet | Mangat | I am a ST1. This is being continued throughout junior doctors training. The onus seems to have shifted to the applicants to train themsleves, not the Trusts. Also the quality of training is plummeting. Previously the average surgical trainee would get 35,000 hours of training, now it is just 5,000 and decreasing with the introduction of nurse practitioners. |

| 1361 | suchitra | sabarigirivasan | I am proud that I am a doctor. Like all other doctors I contribute to this society 24/7.We were selected for training in the first place because we proved to be able candidates. I can understand the need to continue to improve any system. But why change the whole system. By doing this you make us jobless ( for being a responsible member of the society), or uproute us from the far south to far north. I can't understand the logic behind it.Do they expect doctors not to have any life and keep running to new places for training all over uk. What happens to our kids. Do they want to uproute our kids from the schools they have settled in and travel some where else jut for commiting the sin of being a junior doctors child? IF I want my child to have a stable life then do I travel for hours every day? Is it not what they asked us to avoid to save the environment? If there is no money with the government to help the existing Junior doctors to training well then why on earth do they spend to make us job less? Why do they want all the junior doctors to spend money on shifting their homes? In the current shortlisting system clearly capable candidate have been missed , does that mean they want the dictinction doctors to look for job somewhere else in the world? It is clearly a big mistake and they are playing with our living. If they still dont understand that they have made a mistake we should be really worried about their ability to judge problems. Please correct this mistake. Its already late , please don't wait till it is too late. |
| 1362 | Anonymous | Anonymous | i wish all these different persons with petitions would get together and combine the names so that there would be one voice with protest. This is crisis which needs to be resolved before interviews begin. |
| 1363 | Kirsten | Macphee | I think the letter from Mr James Manson, consultant surgeon, in Hospital Doctor this week completely sums up this fundamentally flawed process. I think we have to do more to oppose it! |
| 1364 | Moira | Sugden | This system is psychologically unscientific, professionally flawed and is ruining the futures of some of the most dedicated and gifted young doctors in the country. |
| 1365 | Rebecca | Livesey | What other profession would put up with treatment like this? How much have we put into being doctors and now our speciality and future is to be decided not on merit but a random waffly subjective assessment. Why not let the royal colleges admit people for run-through training? How does no consultant have the power to say who works for them - when we are treating their patients? Please can we stand together and get things changed. |

| 1368 | Sam | Mayes | This system has been ridiculous from day 1 - it's only now, with the debacle surrounding ST3 applications and some deaneries refusing to interview as they have no faith in the capability of the system to differentiate a good candidate from one with superb literary skills, that things are gaining momentum. There have been numerous negative comments made by the public thinking that doctors are moaning and not living in the real world, and this is precisely the problem - the public are just not aware of the real issues. The new system is like recruiting someone in the army to the SAS and saying, 'Ok, we don't care how good you are at soldiering, marksmanship or all round supermanishness but tell us in less than 150 words about a time that you made a mistake'. To any lay public reading - this is how your doctors of the future are being chosen, not on the basis of their clinical skills, but on their ability to answer a number of questions as above which are marked by god knows who and ultimatley have no bearing on whether an individual is a good doctor or not. Support us now or suffer the consequences of a badly trained and de-moralised NHS staff in the future when we will be looking after you or your relative. |
| 1369 | Helen | Munro | March 2007: My husband is one of the many doctors across the UK caught up in the whirlwind that is currently happening. I feel it's very important that junior doctors senior colleagues, friends and family all support them at this difficult time by putting pressure on the government to realise that what they are doing is extremely injust and should not continue. Strength in numbers is the most powerful way to reach the solution of this big problem. My prayers are with everyone who has been hit hard by these changes. |
| 1370 | Anonymous | Anonymous | its a disgrace
they should not be allowed to get away with it
we are betrayed by who ever is representing us |
| 1371 | Hannah | Eno | Partner of doctor and former employee of Barts and The London. Disgusted, sad and see this as the thin edge of the wedge - in every respect. Erosion of the NHS and its workers - just what the government ordered. We must oppose this. |

| 1375 | Fatin | Izagaren | I will be starting at King's Medical Scool in September! Sort this mess out Blair! You will most certainly need a doctor. Just because you can afford private healcare doesn't mean that this won't affect you and your family directly in the future if you carry on with this shambles. Admit defeat and let those who know what they are talking about i.e GMC, RCS etc deal with the training of Doctors! No one in the Government know what it takes to be a Dr! |

| 1382 | M | Hillary | I DO NOT AGREE TO SUCH A PETITION. |
| 1383 | Ross | Vint | I couldn't possibly agree more with this petition. I have been ranting and raving about this all through my medical training with insufficient support from teaching staff and students who do poorly in objectve assessment but well in unvalidated heavily examiner dependant means that meant so much more to our ranking(which is almost politically incorrect!). I can honestly say that time has been wasted in furthering these over-emphasized "credentials" and that my TRUE medical skills have suffered and I will need to learn things when i commence work in August that I could have learned as a student. I for one will be pressing for a return to fairness in assessment and a more balanced appreciation of a doctor. Yes, previously a FEW students who excelled at examination had no life and turned out to be poor doctors but this does not invalidate the PRIMARY importance of formal examinations of medical knowledge/skill. We need our ranking against each other based on performance in fair assessment with a MINOR point regards subjects such as hobbies. I would be far less miserable/cynical/frustrated if we had a national examination(done in other countries, e.g Germany) that would negate the premise that medical school examinations don't matter as they vary school to school. A far more logical idea that plain abandoning their worth altogether. |
