Privileged to deliver the Chair’s update from BMA Consultants on behalf of Vishal Sharma to The BMA LNC Chairs Conference today. Proud of the progress that we have made to save the profession and the NHS, but much more to do!



Important update: really pleased that The Labour Party have listened to the warnings of BMA Pensions Committee about reintroducing #LTA. This will give much needed certainty to doctors and retain them in the NHS. They must also look at the tapered AA if they want their overtime plan to work.

Front page of the Financial Times is Josephine Cumbo's excellent article on The Labour Party ditching their plans to reintroduce the LTA. Pleased Wes Streeting James Murray listened to lobbying over last from 14month by BMA Pensions Committee on risks re this. But the dreaded taper tax remains!



I have had senior leadership in NHS England Workforce, Training and Education NHS England not happy for pointing this out ever since the LTWP was published I will say it again Maths does not add up This is undeliverable without cutting/freezing wages (good luck with that) & huge upturn in productivity (hmm)

Interesting Q&A with Prof Shafi Ahmed PhD FRCS Claire Baker, Terry Jewell UK ISAR Team & Robert Stevenson Ford Motor Company at the end of a brilliant morning session at #Aeromed2024 complete with drone fly-by in the room!



Prehospital partial REBOA for exsanguonating torso haemorrhage. The P-PRO study published today in JAMA Surgery. This is the environment, and these are the patients REBOA was developed for. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas… Congrats RobbieL London's Air Ambulance Charity and all involved.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: many senior doctors desperate to help waiting lists & would be willing to give up evenings/weekends to help out. But current tax rules will mean some could end up #PayingToWork 👇 RT if you want Wes Streeting James Murray to fix this ludicrous tax trap
