Tomorrow there is a march in London (and also in Glasgow) starting at 11am from the Royal College of Physicians. This is to protest against the farce that has been unfolding the past few months related to junior doctors' training which is likely to see between 8-15 thousand doctors unemployed come the beginning of August.
More details on the march are available on the remedyuk site. The direct link for those wishing to join the march is

The revolution starts on Saturday.
16.03.2007 20:34
This Saturday, the 17th of March there will me two protest marches. One in London, the other in Glasgow.
The medical profession has had enough!!
We are protesting about the introduction of a computerised lottery for junior doctors job applications that will see significant proportion of our colleagues unemployed, and a severe degredation of the type and quality of training that those lucky enough to be selected by the computer will receive.
This isn't just about 'protecting' jobs.
No one is asking for more money.
It will affect every one of us who falls ill in the future, and threatens to destroy the one area of health care in which Great Britain still leads the world - medical training. If we don't succeed, there will be no alternative other than emigration for up to 10,000 young doctors who have so far been trained at great expense to the taxpayer.
The government's heavy handed and ill disguised creative destruction of an entire generation of the medical profession is part of a cynical attempt to tame and control 'the doctors' in whom the public rightfully place so much trust. The malignant incompetence and micromanaging control freakery of New Labour and their DoH admindroids must be confronted.
NOW IS THE TIME!
The march starts at 10.30am, and it is organised by Remedy UK, a newly founded and rapidly growing organisation for junior doctors. The same junior doctors who have been shamefully sold out by quisling medical establishment*.
