It is a contractual requirement for trusts to provide your work schedule 8 weeks prior to the start of the post. If you haven't received yours for Feb 24 rotation, you may want to raise this through the BMA form so data on missed deadlines can be collated and local teams can

Worrying reports of hospital trusts cutting rates for Consultants and SAS doctors covering for striking junior doctors. Example from Portsmouth Hospitals University NHST below. Trusts unable to staff shifts because they cut their rates should not expect derogations to dig them out of a hole they have made.

You wanted to fix pay now and for the future. This deal does neither. Vote No.

Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt RT to support them & ask government to pay them ALL fairly #PayRestoration

Victoria Atkins The BMA DoctorsVote 🦀 #TellThemAgain Victoria you argued on national TV’s that Doctors don’t deserve the same pay as a PA’s because we get additional pay for nights and weekend but so do PA’s. They out earn even a senior ST5 doctor in london. Compare hourly rates

Let's see £1.1 billion divided by around 8 million people on the waiting list means... £137.50 per patient to 'clear the backlog'. And you want a whole surgical team and associated staff to come in at the weekend. Hmm.

📢 New #ASiT Report on Physician Associate Impact on Surgical Training and Patient Care 🏥👩‍⚕️ 🔍 Largest ever ASiT survey: 1,978 doctors across all surgical specialties in the UK. 🤝 Focus: Physician Associates (PAs) impact on surgical training and patient care 📈 73.8% worked

This is astounding. Future consultant surgeons losing training opportunities to PAs, who don’t have a medical degree, don’t have PG exams, and ARE NOT SURGEONS!!! NHS England Workforce, Training and Education GMC The Royal College of Surgeons of England I am so disappointed in medical leadership. They’ve sold a generation down the river.

We are on strike!!🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #JuniorDoctorsPay #PayRestorationNow

1/11 My good deed for the week. A 🧵 Halfway through my endo list yesterday the DSU nurse came in. “The last patient's arrived with his mother. He’s autistic and says he gets seizures when he is overstimulated.” She handed me his file. “There’s a letter from the neurologist”.

tragic scenes over here at barts, with the ukfpo allocations ruining lives 6 days before the start of our finals ☹️

If you’ve spent any time around “junior” doctors, you’ll know it was never in doubt. We go again! ✊🏼

Strong response from BAOMS Glad to see it!

An open desk on the ward is not an office. A rest area is not an office. The doctor's mess is not an office. Doctors do important, complex, cerebral work. They deserve a place free of distractions to do it just as much as any other staff group. Disgraceful treatment.

Sad to be leaving such a fantastic team at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHST but excited for more Maxfax experience at University Hospital Southampton 💙

I wanted to follow up to some comments: patients are my ONLY motivation here. I’m an NHS consultant. I am a medically qualified, fully-trained expert in one specialty, and can call a friend who is an expert in any another. My job and income are secure. (1/8)

Doctors in England are working in the NHS for £17/hr. Wes Streeting has proposed that some doctors are worth an extra 49p this year. Under-valuing the public sector seems to be a common theme for this government. If they keep proposing pay cuts, drs will be back out on strike.
