What do I think about AAs? I wish I’d been one. I’d be at least £50k better off with amazing training. I’d be spending my life giving anaesthetics in daytime hours. They’re living the dream while medics are in the bin. Medics must stay in the bin & #BeKind. Or else. <ends>

If you are an FRCP and have a vote tomorrow, I urge you to vote yes to all the motions for this historic EGM. The Anaesthetists have led the way. Don't let the rest of the medical profession down.

🚨 EXC- A hospital ICU ceiling collapsed onto a patient this week sparking a major incident. Hours later a doctor at another hospital suffered a broken leg after a lift plunged 4 floors - Our crumbling NHS, in tomorrow's Sunday Times:

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The ceiling of an intensive care ward collapsed onto a patient on life support & hours later a falling lift at another hospital broke a doctor’s leg in a 24-hour snapshot of Britain’s crumbling NHS. Read the full details: thetimes.co.uk/article/fallin… The Times and The Sunday Times

How are final year medical students supposed to plan and finance moving to their allocated F1 hospital if they don’t even know where it is with only 3.5 months to go? This is an utter disgrace and a shambles. You all deserve better. The medical establishment should be ashamed.

Official GMC council meetings 2015 Makes it crystal clear the intention of regulation isn't safety, but to allow them to act as "medical role substitutes" up to ST3 level The GMCs position as a regulator is untenable Credit: @medicalmodelwithabriochebun Prof Colin R Melville

Today we have written to the Chief Executive of NHS England requesting a pause to the further expansion of MAPs across the NHS while significant patient safety concerns persist.

Solidarity from, and with, the fire brigades union. Deskilling by coopting a group of workers was known as scabbing, and unions recognise this when they see it. Except, unlike keeping coal flowing (but less effectively), this group practices medicine & risks patient safety

“For her to claim this is a purely political move is nonsense.” Co-chair ⁦Dr Robert Laurenson⁩ responds to questions from ⁦Sky News⁩ about health secretary ⁦Victoria Atkins⁩’s comments about the timing of the next round of strike action called today.

.Ben Kentish is spot on with the point he’s making. But he’s got the figures for paying doctors properly slightly off. The net cost of full pay restoration to the treasury is actually only about £1.1bn They’ve made commitments over 4 x that value in just the last few days.

Qualifying doctors, who need a job to become fully registered, are due to start work in mid July. Hundreds currently have no idea where/what their jobs will be, despite promises from NHS employers. A disgraceful way to treat new professionals & disastrous workforce planning.

South West employers are openly plotting to form a pay cartel reducing medical rates of pay. The BMA will actively campaign against employers who impose reduced rates. Doctors who give up their free time to care for patients don’t deserve pay cuts. hsj.co.uk/south-west/reg…

How much did you give to fraudsters and write off again?
