A brief one today, due to the exam chaos that is all around me. Much to do.
However, Remedy organised their mass lobby of Parliament today, which appears to have gone well from initial reports. Channel 4 is yet again providing outstanding coverage where the Beeb is notably lacking, so huge praise to them.
However more is still needed to exert political pressure. Doctors and medicals students can help in 2 ways:
1) Join Remedy. Even if you don't want to go along to things or make your name known, at least you'll get the regular updates so you know what is happening to YOUR careers. More than the BMA is doing! Can you afford not to? Register here:

2) Fill in this questionnaire: http://www.cai.cam.ac.uk/people/mjb14/
And have your say on the future of job appointments. Personally, I think options 4,6 and 7 seem to be the best from this list. Just don't forget this doesn't include MMC...!
Don't forget, even this week the government suggested making doctors do overseas posts to get round the training shortage. Brilliant. Go get 'em soldiers!!
