I was an NHS consultant of 10 yrs in Emergency Medicine & 20 yrs as a doctor. I fully support the #consultantsstrike. I love clinical work but now work abroad for better work-life balance, working conditions & better pay 🇦🇪 Unless these improve, I will not be returning to the NHS

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s The Times and The Sunday Times letters page, could not have put it more beautifully. Pls RT if you agree. #NHS 💙

I’ve never understood why the NHS doesn’t offer exit interviews to those who leave… In what other workplace do you have employees leaving in droves, yet continue to ignore it & refuse to try to understand why, so you can prevent it collapsing?! It’s unbelievable 😡

Junior doctors working for the NHS in England will take strike action for the 5th time from 7am, 11 August to 7am, 15 August. We continue to fight for #PayRestoration and continue to wait for the Government to return to the negotiating table. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

The @BMA_JuniorDocs have announced a four-day walkout from 7am on Friday 11 August and 7am Tuesday 15 August. Consultants will strike on 24 and 25 August.

There's no such thing as "non- medical consultants" delivering acute stroke care they're either medically qualified ( a medical degree and CCT in stroke medicine - 10 yrs training post qualification) or a danger to patients. Leave Cosplaying to cartoon characters / superheroes,

I genuinely think that NHS HR departments are one of the top reasons why the NHS struggles with recruitment. I did an emergency locum shift in March in an external trust, and in order to get paid I have to sign up as an employee (which is fine) but now apparently I have to

On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question

Doctors have had their pay cut in real-terms by more than 10x the average worker in the UK over the past 15 years.

Did you know the doctor treating you & your loved ones, could also have such low pay they’re on Universal Credit? No, me neither. Is this how you treat highly skilled workers Rishi Sunak? THIS NEEDS TO END NOW. #payrestoration Shared by a parent working avg 27 hrs/wk. Pls RT
