Let overseas-trained dentists get to work | Letters

Let overseas-trained dentists get to work | Letters Jenny Bradley on the bureaucracy that is preventing dentists who have trained abroad from working in the NHS Thank you, Denis Campbell, for highlighting the distressing plight of many overseas-trained dentists in this country (Overseas-trained dentists working in McDonald’s as millions lack NHS care, 18 June). Brilliant dental specialists are being treated appallingly, repeatedly rejected in their attempts to book the overseas registration exam, which they could pass with ease if they could only manage to sit it.

COUNCILLORS RAISE CONCERNS OVER ‘DRASTIC’ 50% NHS CUTS TO RUNNING COSTS

COUNCILLORS RAISE CONCERNS OVER ‘DRASTIC’ 50% NHS CUTS TO RUNNING COSTS Concerns over ‘huge’ and ‘drastic’ cuts to NHS running costs were raised at an Isle of Wight Council committee meeting last week.

Britain has a messy relationship with money - no wonder we’re so divided over doctors’ pay | Polly Toynbee Of course public sector jobs should be properly compensated. But in a society where pay has stagnated, support for more strikes is waning “Because you’re worth it,” goes the ad. But knowing who is worth what is even harder to determine than it was half a century ago. So as doctors vote in a strike ballot, how will the public weigh up their just reward? Some 50,000 resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – are deciding whether to walk out again in England.
