Oh yes. I’m back.

You were saying Wes Streeting ? Department of Health and Social Care Resident Doctors The BMA

The last resident doctor strike had more doctors striking than July 2023. You wouldn’t know it from the government’s spin and the media’s headlines. Doctors are standing together for full pay restoration and a safe NHS. The government must stop the rhetoric and move on pay.

A 2% real terms pay cut is the real slap in the face. Let alone the tone deaf paragraphs on resident doctors’ employment prospects. There appears to be very little grasp of why we are actively haemorrhaging doctors from the NHS.

Straight from the submission: “The increase in locally employed doctors would become concerning in a certain set of circumstances: either if significant numbers of doctors were feeling 'forced' into taking time out of training due to a lack of suitable opportunities or, if

Shaun Lintern Wes Streeting Happy to pay tax, nowhere to hide on PAYE! Re: taper it's a perverse incentive & a government problem not ours. One issue though is that along with paying tax I expect my pay not to be eroded, also action needed on SPA time, OOH pay, burnout, we're not the unreasonable party.

Gather round folks, I’m going to tell a very scary story. Make sure you have a torch and a blanket and someone to cuddle: I shall tell the tale of “THE WORST NIGHT SHIFT EVER”.

1️⃣ People claim low physician pay is “just how universal healthcare works.” It isn’t. The UK is a global outlier. Other public systems pay doctors far more and offer far better conditions. The UK’s choices—not universal healthcare—explain the collapse.

🔟 Bottom Line The UK doesn’t underpay doctors because of universal healthcare. It underpays them because: •it funds the system below peer norms •it relies on monopsony power •it suppresses wages to maintain political optics •it diverts money into overhead instead of

[1/16] Deeply flawed and completely misleading modelling from Medifintech’s own Graham Crossley (NHS Pension Wonk) Graham Crossley at Quilter. Here's why the £125k pension headline is erroneous, misleading, and deeply flawed 👇

Amusing - we’ve seen govt try all sorts for them to be proven unequivocally wrong several times They said strike turnout was down, it’s up by 8% They said a poll of 200 was representative despite >30000 yes votes The person is out of touch & we’ll keep proving them wrong

You were misled then by your ministers and advisers just as I suspected. We wanted reform. We offered reform. We wanted to know what more you thought would be helpful to see if there could be some mutual ground. We were also open about a multi year pay deal that would have

Hey Resident Doctors where's my poll? I was looking forward to voting NO before work today. If I haven't got it yet, neither have regular members. NO time like the present! NO pay NO details NO employment guarantees NO thanks #FullPayRestoration DoctorsVote

You burnt any trust doctors initially had in you when you reneged on promises made in 2024. Plus, they’re bright and scientifically minded people; “trust me bro” ain’t gonna cut it. Provide clarity. Show your numbers. Show your workings out.

Simon Myerson KC ✡️ Strike action has been shown to be safe and in many instances more efficient due to the cover of our most experienced doctors who are not striking What isn't acceptable is continued devaluing of an integral workforce and knock on effects

Fantastic effort by Chris Smith & team! Avg 9.9% pay uplift for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 resident doctors. The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 govt negotiated & avoided strikes with 9.9%. The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 govt negotiated & didn’t get any strikes with an *extra* 4%. We’ve maintained all along we want to negotiate to avoid strikes in

Good news for doctors, patients and the NHS in Scotland. Spot the difference 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Strikes can and should be avoided, but they require politicians to negotiate seriously and in good faith, unlike Wes Streeting.

Alison Moore @alijanemoore also on Bluesky Resident doctor pay is already higher in Scotland (& Wales) than in England, and this deal, which is well deserved, will increase the gap further. See charts. Wes Streeting has no leg to stand on. If he doesn't want to match Ireland or Australia, what about the devolved nations?

Doctors, Remember this.👇🏼
