This was my day today - standing up for myself and my junior doctor colleagues on the picket line to fight for pay restoration! Fabulous support from the public, along with frequent visits from colleagues to show their support for our cause #PayRestoration

Great fun today renewing my off-road driving with St John Ambulance England; there were some very large puddles, very interesting angles and *a lot* of mud!

We remain willing to have meaningful discussions about #PayRestoration with Steve Barclay. However, he has still not brought a credible offer to the table. This is our message to him, ahead of our second round of strikes 👇

Great today at the St John Ambulance England leadership conference! Learning about our strategy for the next 10 years, highlighting areas for us to improve on and also had an excellent talk from Chris Turner #CivilitySavesLives #Leadership #AskMe

4 months of planning paid off! Wonderful day running this simulation event for so many of our fantastic volunteers; special shoutout to the ambulance crews who attended and gave me many #ProudDALmoments #MySJADay #AskMe

In response to the misleading figures used in the tweet below from Department of Health and Social Care 👇 BMA Council Chair Philip Banfield 💙 has today written to the Cabinet Secretary to request a formal investigation to see if it has broken civil service code.

Dear Steve Barclay, There seems to be a lot of interest on UK #MedTwitter (Roshana 🦴) in how enticing Australia is for UK docs. Here are a few examples, from a junior doctor who made the move, of the international market you're competing with. You should be worried.🧵

Fantastic evening at SJA Norfolk and Waveney Ambulance Unit’s meeting night, facilitating trauma CPD for our ambulance crews Our first meeting this year after a busy winter - great to hear experiences of EEAST Ambulance Service NHS England shifts & work together as a team for challenging scenarios

On Day 4 of #VolunteersWeek we’d like to say thank you to our volunteer Emergency Ambulance Crews! Our crews are highly trained to support both events and also respond to 999 calls. Thank you all!

Disappointing to hear of similar double pay deductions happening in: Cambridge University Hospitals NHS NWAngliaFT @jamespaget @NHSHarlow Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust Inconsistent, harmful, disrespectful and will impact member's decision to strike; a right everyone should be free to exercise. #DoctorsStrike

Happy International Women's Day! Spending today volunteering for St John Ambulance England, doing a front line ambulance shift in the glorious Norfolk sunshine with one of my favourite ladies!

Some thoughts on the progress SJA has made over the last number of years, a difficult organisation at times, but ultimately a societal good.
