This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect. David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉 It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of. But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6

It does indeed, but it doesn't show changes over the past 12 months, which is what the big increase in cycling that this thread is based on. Therefore it wouks be great to see the same comparative figures for the past 12 and 24 months, not just prior to 2023.

I don't know if he does newborns but I highly reccomend Will Westwood at Goose Green Clinic I've tried many Osteopaths locally and in Central London over the years and he Is now my 1st choice.... Highly qualified, and very gentle with good advice and aftercare.

I watched that the other day..what suprised me was how normal it was to smoke at work. It was a fab documentary I really enjoyed it!

That bollard is clearly on the footpath. Looks like a cyclist may well have collided with it though.

It really is! But what are we doing about it? The more people sign petitions, write to MPs, council, councillors etc the better!

Lizzie Lomax at The Rise is fantastic.

Page 12 of the report has a chart with the proportional mix of travel types in 2023. Page 7 shows a estimation of the same data going back to 2013. What you've asked for was already in the link that was posted.
