Thanks to this Government, junior doctors can now make more money serving coffee than saving patients. From tomorrow we take #JuniorDoctorsStrike action so we’re paid what we’re worth.

🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training. At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from Royal College of Anaesthetists

You can’t argue with these numbers from the Financial Times can you Steve Barclay ? ‘Nurses and doctors have seen a much steeper decline in real terms pay than the average British worker’ Just look at this, shameful:

"They're not asylum shoppers they're asylum seekers... That's not true." Krishnan Guru-Murthy challenges immigration minister Robert Jenrick after he claims "asylum shoppers" should seek sanctuary in the first safe country they reach under the "Refugee Convention".

ED colleagues - have you stopped universal mask wearing for patients and staff? If you have, do you wear them with certain patients eg high risk of severe Covid, those with resp symptoms etc? Thanks 😊

Doctors have ‘saved’ the Government, Taxpayer & NHS, approx £10bn* since 2008 Doctors are asking for pay restoration, not a reimbursement of lost income The request amounts to £35 per head of population per year, about £2bn *If Doctors pay had increased in line with inflation

Rob Galloway Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky Those specialties have the option of pushing back to the ED. We have nowhere to push back to, other than the ambulance ramp, or the waiting room. For too long, Trusts have become far too comfortable with the disproportionate concentration of risk in the ED #crowdingkills

Hate that critical incidents need to be declared, but respect organisations that recognise the shit they are in & take proper steps to address issues threatening patient safety. We had more patients waiting for longer in York this week York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS FT yet no incident declared.

Ambulances can’t get to dying people because they’re stuck outside of hospitals full of patients we could discharge if we just had more carers in the community, so I’m delighted that the government has taken decisive action to ban these carers from living with their families.

GMC: We’re in listening mode Doctors: Ah, ok good, that’s reassuring to hear. So we have deep and widespread concerns for patient safety arising from the MAPs project, your regulation of them, their lack of defined safe scope of practice and the blurring of lines. GMC:
