Incredible work by BMA Northern Ireland BMA NI Junior Doctors Committee Utterly shameful that the Department of Health refuse to negotiate with us. No doctor wants to strike. This is a last resort for staffing, for safety and for our health service

Very sorry I didn't make the demonstration today but proudly wore my #PayRestoration badge in ED all day. Strikes are a very last resort. Without fair pay we will have no doctors. Without drs we have no NHS. Support the strike. Help us retain staff and improve our nhs BMA NI Junior Doctors Committee

The RCP and FPA had 20yrs to produce guidance on PA/AA scope of practice.They did nothing. The BMA stepped in where others failed, using evidence from almost 18k drs and the patient liaison group to produce this scope document for these dependent practitioners. #DoctorsAssistants

If there was ever any doubt how little the government cares about the NHS and its staff, its lifeblood, then this clears that doubt up. The only thing more outrageous than shutting it down is that it was never opening in NI to start out

Not an easy, spur of the moment decision but one taken out of desperation. And with news yesterday that our health budget has shrunk, no alternative exists

Is it any wonder NI consultants are leaving en masse? Even most experienced consultants in NI do not earn close to year1 salary in RoI #VoteYes #NICC BMA Northern Ireland

All three branches of practice of hospital medicine are now in dispute with Department of Health. This is not a flippant decision. We are losing staff to better pay and conditions. We need to fix this to retain staff and have any hope of retaining the NHS. #SASByChoice #FullPayRestoration

Thanks to The Doctor Magazine for this article. Terrible to give oxygen to & end with the inflammatory&derogatory comment about the "true disabled" though. Disability is defined in law. Noone asks for disability. The comments were countered at ARM. Editors, please amend this article.

The most incredibly thoughtful and meaningful gift and card I have ever received. Reminder to #BeSupportive - it costs nothing but is worth everything

Always an honour to speak for our doctors and health service, but honestly UTV Live News have you heard women can be doctors too these days? Our excellent past and current chairs of BMA Northern Ireland speaking on UTV previously and me today. Spot the difference... #Sexism #WomenEmpowerment
