Paramedics, nurses and pharmacists will be able to train as doctors in just three years under post-Brexit plans to tackle NHS staffing crisis

Paramedics, nurses and pharmacists will be allowed to train-up as doctors in three years under drastic plans to tackle the NHS's staffing crisis.

The Government is hoping to take advantage of freedoms brought by Brexit to enable some medical staff to gain fast-track doctors' qualifications.

The radical measures, due to be announced next week, will be presented as a solution to the NHS's doctor shortage, which is being worsened by a pensions standoff.

Latest official figures show that the NHS is short of 11,500 doctors – equivalent to nearly one in ten posts being left vacant.

The bad side for those wannabes is that they have to be awake the entire time.

The really bad side is the funding of the educational curriculum by Big Pharma
That means one thing: Brain Washed Doctors.

They prescribe dangerous health-harming "medicines" pushed down by Big Pharma using financial incentives for Doctors. Ask any Doctor and you will be told for example, Vaccines are good.
That is now becoming an obvious patent lie and everyone who is awoke knows it.

2:48 you're not wrong. The British people love their NHS but will fully admit to it's flaws. The problem is lack of funding. You cannot attract doctors anymore that can work and live in the EU post-Brexit. Boris and his cronies have a goal and that is to sell the NHS to private medical companies like the US healthcare system.

Instead of giving the NHS the money it needs to continue they starve it and use it as an example of failed socialized healthcare. The tories were driving a bus around England with the wrong damn number on it during the lead up to the Brexit vote. Their goal always was and is to sell nationalized services to private companies and make a profit. Programs like this are a last ditch effort to keep nurses and doctors from leaving.

Socialized medicine that crazy Bernie and Poca Warren want for Americans.
