With fairness constantly at the forefront of government thinking, the Health Secretary Andy Burnham has announced a shake-up of medical qualifications. In a move aimed squarely at educational elitists, the Health Secretary said that from June 2010 anyone with a degree obtained at an English university will be able to practise medicine. This means that students who do not attend medical school, but who feel they would have qualified if they had, will be able to become family doctors, surgeons or dentists, (but not all three at once). Acceptable degrees will include Media Studies, Golf Course Management and pretty well every other degree currently available at UK universities.
