Tomorrow 100,000 nurses go on strike. Their real pay has fallen by £1,800 this year, declining by £5,000 since 2010. 14% are using foodbanks while 1 in 3 have difficulty covering the cost of food and heating their homes. But this strike is about more than just paltry pay.🧵

Cannot wrap my mind around the media silence about the collapse of emergency care in the UK.

Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now. Shared w/ permission. Pls RT to get this out there.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

A refresher on the term Junior Doctor - this is anyone who’s qualified from medical school but isn’t a consultant yet. I will be a junior doctor for 9.5 years by the time I become a consultant. Junior doctors are in charge of the hospital on site overnight… #DoctorsStrikes

I have done my workings on the NHS pay deal and I am completely baffled that any union would accept what is on offer. A thread…

The news that there had been a (bad) pay offer in the NHS pay dispute still gave rise to the almost inevitable cry of 'how are you going to pay for it?' from every journalist in the land. So, let's look at the answer to that question and others arising from this deal. A thread...

Rishi Sunak has claimed that voters are fine with him spending £50,000 a day on this ridiculously large private jet. If you aren’t fine, RT and tell him to spend his own £720,000,000. Where is his pay restraint? Also like if you want him to f** off.

Huge thanks to all the NHS staff who are doing their best to keep the health service going despite having 10% fewer staff than we need. We see what you do, and couldn’t be more grateful 💙

We couldn’t agree more. Please RT if you do too.

I don’t know why as a 25-year-old woman I still feel embarrassed that I prefer pads over tampons when I’m on my period. Does anyone else feel this way? Can we end this stigma please? No period product shaming! Wear what you’re comfortable with! You’re not gross!

Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going

For 14 years as an NHS doctor I’ve watched this lot savage the NHS into a failing travesty of a once great service. Tory cuts have caused my patients to suffer hellishly & die. We could send every minister on this photo packing. Vote for patients. Vote tactically. Let’s go 💙
