Junior doctor starting salaries around the world: Australia: £60,000 Canada: £46,000 USA: £41,900 France: £43,700 UK: £29,384 Now tell me that the UK doesn’t undervalue its doctors?!

To everyone pearl-clutching at the idea of doctors asking for +35% pay: the government are massively expanding the Physician Associate workforce. They train for 2 years and start on £43.7k. A doctor trains for 5yrs and starts on £32.4k. The difference? *drum roll* 35%

Johnny Mercer We typically do a set of three Friday, Saturday, Sunday. 2130-0930 typically. So pick one..

This is deeply worrying language, that has historically been used to blame migrants for failings in society and to divide people and communities. It's a smokescreen designed to cover up the government’s own failure to tackle the housing emergency. #SocialHousingNotScapegoating

We should really look into how to direct the schadenfreude that will be felt across the nation tomorrow into the energy grid.

🩸 Blood shortage Amber alert 🩸 The @NHS urgently needs O type blood. There are over 12000 appointments available over the next 2 weeks that we need your help to fill. If you are an O type donor call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment or visit orlo.uk/bPTiE

I urge all JDs to Reject this offer. This essentially breaks down to a 4.05% pay rise (not a 22% pay rise), a meagre 1% more than what the conservatives offered us.

IMO, the result of the deal vote is actually less important than our cohesion afterwards. Whatever the result, the losing side needs to get on board with the resulting strategy, get involved in the union and continue to fight for FPR The future of the profession is at stake
