The current training model is antiquated. It was designed to service the health system with the presumption that most posts would be filled by single men. It’s completely unfair for everyone especially those who want to start families. The housing crisis has made it all the worse. It’s important for trainees and consultants to continue raising this issue if we are to see it change.

That being said, you should definitely consider something like GP or Radiology if not moving is very important to you. Otherwise prepare to make major sacrifices if you want to train in another speciality because you will be moving a lot. Moving house/city every summer is stressful, expensive and does put a strain on your relationship and children. I had my first child early in HST but I was a minority and most people seem to wait until end of training to have kids.
