Important to explore behind the words. It’s ⁦UK Prime Minister⁩ that has put in writing that it refuses to discuss pay in a pay dispute. ⁦The BMA⁩ not asking for a rise, but to reverse relative losses & devaluing. Nothing set in stone. Over to ⁦Rishi Sunak⁩

Wow! Who knew that staggeringly large waiting lists were not caused by covid/doctors strikes but rather a "decade of underinvestment in the NHS, chronic staff shortages & neglect of social care have undermined efforts to tackle it"👇 Answer: Most voters in next general election

About the only time I’ll ever retweet Lee Anderson 😆

Junior doctors Vivek Trivedi explaining why junior doctors are on strike today. Solidarity #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Not only did Scottish Government continue to negotiate whilst JD strikes were planned, they were actively encouraged to do so by Scottish Conservatives Dr Sandesh Gulhane MSP Quite right too Victoria Atkins You can't fix waiting lists without doctors of all grades. RT if you want Conservatives to act

Sunak lying On #bbclaurak again this morning. Says pay deal settled with Consultants. IT IS NOT. Says Jr docs responsible for waiting lists, they’re not. Why are these lies not challenged? ALASTAIR CAMPBELL Dr Tony Goldstone Rishi Sunak Laura Kuenssberg

Proportion of health research budget spent on palliative and end of life care: 0.23% Proportion of humans who die: 100%

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Waiting list shocking 7.54m 😢 Waiting lits dip *every* winter. Even if we ignore this & assume drop is real its a drop of ONLY .166m/4mnths or .49m/yr At that rate takes *10years* to fall to 2.6m May 2010 #GeneralElection #DROPintheocean #PayRestoration

Hands up if you think it scandalous that very nearly all UK hospices rely on charitable giving including cake sales for vast majority of their funding. Palliative care should be a mainstream NHS service with charity funding of 'over and above' aspects not essential care.

Anybody in Hospital Palliative Care Teams getting patient/family/user feedback and what tools are you using in the acute setting? Tony Duffy Paul Keeley Ollie Minton Prof. Mark Taubert jen vidrine

Community note: The BMA first suggested using an Independant mediator in Summer 2023.

A very important set of errors and misconceptions, about four decades out of date. Escalating morphine doses alone *aren't* what's usually used, and it categorically *doesn't* work by depressing respiration in normal therapeutic use. Not only is it rare for it to hasten...
