Our daughter has just passed her final exam (every exam passed first time) to become a consultant - 19 years after embarking on her medical career! Amongst her colleagues this is nothing unusual but how many users of the NHS realise just what a committment medicine is. Constant exams (studied for alongside a punishingwork schedule) exams costing hundreds of pounds each time which have to be paid for by the trainees themselves. They are constantly sent on placements from hospital to hospital requiring either protracted daily travel or even moving to rented accommodation for the duration. Working conditions are often poor and support minimal. I am sure that nurses, midwives and other medical trainees have similarly difficult experiences though for shorter time and with, probably, less need for uprooting their entire lives two or three time every year. I am sure that by the time they reach the end of their training they will be competent, effective and dedicated doctors but at what cost to their own health and well-being. The NHS is wonderful and we are very lucky we have it but it is the staff - at all levels - who make it work.; 11:07 am
