An example of how UK healthcare is viewed from abroad.

Our primary care system is seen as an example of how not to run a service.

A sad state of affairs.

I was on BBC Radio 4 Today discussing the Doctors' pay disputes at 7:52

Doctors are ready to accept a credible offer that begins pay restoration and stops the exodus, but we will strike as long as is necessary - for ourselves, our service, and our patients.

For anaesthetic inclined people, I am standing for AoA committee. If you like the look of my statement please consider voting for me, I would also strongly encourage people to check out Andreas who i had the privilege of working along side at Anaesthetists United #pickpick

We are extremely disappointed AoMRC has excluded The BMA from a meeting to discuss MAPs and doctors in training despite the inclusion of other key stakeholders including NHS England, GMC and ATDC. [1/3]

Doctors of Kettering, know your worth. You aren’t worth 1/3 less than a week ago.

100 doctors have taken the personal decision to cancel their shifts tomorrow in the face of these cuts, we stand with you alongside over 60 consultants at KGH.

Wherever you are as a doctor, we stand with you to recognise & appreciate your unique skills & expertise. It’s difficult for others to understand what it’s like to be ultimately responsible for life & death, under pressure to deliver regardless & responsible when it goes wrong.

I want to fly a plane.

Training to become a pilot isn’t feasible.

Therefore I cannot fly a plane.

Training being inconvenient doesn’t mean you can just get the end result anyway.

Thank you to all of our doctors and everything you do.

1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: LOTS of new data this week incl new pay data 28/3/24 👇 NEW charts incl NHS satisfaction (SPOILER: Its grim #MindTheGap )

MUST fix pay/retention to fix #WaitingLists - next GE WILL be won/lost on NHS.

Please read whole [long bumper] 🐇🧵 & share widely/RT

GP regs in England have spoken, they will not accept a future of funding squeezes, burnout and being constantly devalued. If you haven't already, join The BMA. GP is ready to follow in the footsteps of juniors and other branches in taking strong action to protect our futures.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The clear & record dissatisfaction in the NHS is not simply due to a once-in-generation pandemic👇

The NHS IS its staff

RT if you want to fix #waitinglists (similar graph)-need to FIX recruitment & retention. #PayRestoration Wes Streeting MP Victoria Atkins

NEW: WORRYING data from the just released NHS staff survey

Only 32% of medical & dental staff satisfied with their pay, down 23% from 2020 & greatest drop by *far* of all groups.

RT if you believe it’s because government deliberately eroded doctors pay the most #PayRestoration

Today, we begin our longest strike yet.

Doctors in Wales are starting on just £13.65 per hour.

Our action is costing Welsh Government millions of pounds. They need to realise that this problem won't simply fade away.

We know our worth.

£100k 'not a huge salary' in his area with a mortgage.

Good for you to recognise, Jeremy Hunt! Could you maybe increase the salaries of those doctors earning substantially less, as little as £15/hr, so they too might be able to house themselves?

#PayRestoration

These should be the Royal College of Surgeons' next priorities

Vote for your DV candidates if you agree

⭐️ Surgeon led care
⭐️ No PAs in theatre

Feb '23: 98.01% vote to strike
Aug '23 : 98.37% vote to strike
March '24 : 97.97% vote to strike

RT if you want UK Prime Minister to get serious & make a credible offer, show a path towards #PayRestoration
