Wes, it's not rocket science just don't pay a doctor £17.60 an hour when they are in £100k worth of student debt. If you a member of the public that thinks that's acceptable go ring a plumber and offer them double that an hour and see if you get your leak fixed.

Some foundation year two doctors due to finish training next week are already looking to leave the UK after failing to find a role in the NHS, The BMJ finds. Others have shared how they'd been living on Jobseeker’s Allowance as they compete for posts bmj.com/content/390/bm…

If plumbers are worth £90 an hour, and corporate lawyers are billed at £1000 an hour, surely resident doctors deserve £22? Tell me I'm wrong.

An awful lot of the UK public mistakenly think doctors get a cut from 'big pharma' for prescribing medications. Presumably watching too much American TV

How are the government classifying working class? My dad was a taxi driver and then a roofer, which apparently aren't working class jobs, but earnt less than a train driver which apparently is working class. Gov is so out of touch

I made this point pre-election. In opposition you can move with public opinion, take no action and depend on hindsight to have always known best. Now he's in a position of power and having to stand by decisions, suddenly demonstrating markedly different attitudes

Plenty of the public assume because medicine is 'a vocation', you shut-up and put up with worsening work conditions, eroding wages and increasing levels of unemployment from a monopoly employer. Fortunately this generation of doctors are standing up and putting things right

This is a whole world of wrong. PA. Band 8. Rotating with FY1s. Any foundation Drs up for taking legal advise re pay discrepancy for doing the same job with additional prescribing rights for less money?

Not even equal work for equal pay. Doctors getting less pay for more duties and more responsibility. Genuinely hope there is legal action and I am happy to support however I can

Let's hope Wes and the gang have the same attitude when it comes to doctors. Almost 20k facing unemployment this year due to lack of training posts and record numbers of IMGs resulting in application ratios skyrocketing. Costs the NHS hugely as doctors look for work elsewhere

"Every hour lost to poorly designed administrative activity is an hour not spent examining, teaching, or treating." Administrative overload harms patient care and wastes clinical time, Sammy Arab, MD Karan Hamaad @hamaadkhan.bsky.social bmj.com/content/390/bm…

Fertility pricing continues to go up, given influence of private equity. We are charging people obscene money to make future taxpayers that will take care of us when we are old. And then making them pay $1m per kid to raise them. Fertility treatment should be free.

Also Warwick : ACPs are trained p/t 2yrs on a modular PG Certificate to work independently at a level commensurate with middle-grade Drs on the Medical Rota..... but are not just a direct cheap replacement or a poor substitute for Drs but *work alongside* Drs 🤪

The more they use doctors' mandatory rotations as a reason to substitute doctors and make them unemployed, the more we should look at refusing further rotations and refusing to be placed hundreds of miles from home in foundation jobs. They use it as a stick to beat us with
