I'm an A&E consultant and I'm tired after a weekend of nights. But this am, I've handed over what I described as a "good department". This was said genuinely and with no hint of irony. We provided great care and have very short waits to see an A&E doctor, but I'd forgotten how

Quick calculations on the back of an envelope, 8 days of 24 hour consultant cover needed, will cost something between £150 -200k… In ONE SINGLE department in ONE SINGLE hospital in ONE SINGLE trust in the whole country. Does the government really think they’re saving money?

The Government says we walked away from talks  - but it was them who walked away.   Ministers can’t even explain why they won’t talk to us while strikes are planned, like they did with barristers.   Come back to the table with a credible offer and we can end this now.

We have a politically manufactured medical workforce problem. For 20 years politicians have denied there’s a medical workforce problem despite what the profession has told them. Now they’ve woken up to it and are increasing medical student numbers. But slowly. And without

GPs are experts and we desperately need them working for patients. It's is beyond ridiculous that the funding model has left so many without employment when there is so much work to do! Fix it!
