Junior Doctors' March

On Saturday as many as 12,000 junior doctors took to the streets of London to protest at disasterous changes to our training and job application process. It was the largest protest ever staged by doctors in the UK. The march was organised by a group called RemedyUK, led by a former colleague of the GF. I was skeptical about the aims of the march, given that the Royal Colleges have already responded appropriately to try and fix the system. However it was an excellent social occasion, with hundreds of my friends and former colleagues turning out to chant witty slogans, and listen to David "Spliffy" Cameron deliver a rousing speech. Best of all, one of the GF's placards reading "YOUR HEALTH", along with her right hand, was featured in coverage of the march in The Times. Finally, the recognition from mainstream media that I crave.
