'We can't continue to do this if we're going to make viable careers for junior colleagues.'

Acute care consultant and BMA London chair Dr Kevin O'Kane says if the UK wants to keep its doctors, it is going to have to 'pay them properly'.

The recently released #NHS long term workforce plan makes no mention of the role of pay in recruiting, training and retaining staff. After rejection of Amendment 29 from the #health and care bill by MPs, the Secretary of State does not have to publish annually on our pay parity.

‘Workforce shortages are the biggest challenges facing healthcare’ Dr Philippa Whitford reminds the UK House of Commons yesterday. She asked Rishi Sunak ‘Does he really think refusing to even talk to health unions will stop doctors leaving the #NHS ?’

Thank you to Dr Philippa Whitford for highlighting to Rishi Sunak the need to address doctors' pay erosion and telling him the importance of sitting down and negotiating to avoid strike action.

Thank you #NHS75

Nurses have your say in how #NHS #Nurse #Wellbeing should be measured by participating in our Delphi study to develop a core outcome set for measuring nurse wellbeing. #BePartofResearch delphimanager.liv.ac.uk/nurse_wellbein…

And completing the set will be Gemma Simons from the University of Southampton, who will talk about the Development of British Society Rehabilitation Medicine (BSRM) guidelines for vocational rehabilitation #UKSF22

#ICPH2022 attendees I am online for questions and discussion at the virtual poster: The Measure Matters: A Core Outcome Set for physician wellbeing. See you there.

Paul DeChant's recommends 3 questions to ask yourself at work at the #ICPH2022
Respect - Am I shown respect?
Resources - Do I have the resources I need?
Recognised - Am I recognised for what I do?
If the answer is no, tell your manager what you need.

Love the term 'administrivia' at #ICPH2022 - the routine administrative tasks that prevent us from doing the activities that made us want to be a healthcare professional.

Paul DeChant is speaking at #ICPH2022 'doctors, are some of the most resilient people in the world... burnout is an occupational phenomenon, caused by the systems we work in.'

And finally, our 3 Minute Thesis winner is Gemma Simons (Centre for Workforce Wellbeing)

Gemma's 3MT research on measuring doctor wellbeing has established a set of outcomes that can be used to measure wellbeing among staff

First in person conference in a while... #catac2022 Great to hear from the future of medical research.

I've sent my letter about the #HealthAndCareBill Lords amendment 29 about the need to properly plan our workforce, to my local MP #StrengthInNumbers
Have you sent yours?
members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

The #Healthandcarebill returns to the Commons today so MPs can debate amendments from the Lords. Along with more than 100 other organisations, we’re urging them to adopt a workforce amendment that will hold Govt accountable for safe NHS staffing levels #StrengthInNumbers
