We should talk about money and value, and what Wes Streeting and Department of Health and Social Care value and spend money on. Last week, the The Leng review found that PAs (medically unqualified assistants to doctors, with no unique skillset) function at a level below F1 (newly qualified) doctors 1/




Now we know why Wes Streeting refuses to negotiate with NHS staff. He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure.

Negotiations have failed, Streeting is too full of testosterone. Time to bring in a White Knight⦠someone trusted, neutral and serious. ACAS? Possibly. Or maybe a senior figure with clinical credibility. Mediation doesnāt mean weakness. myemail.constantcontact.com/Five-steps.htmā¦

This is shocking Wes Streeting SHAME ON YOU APOLOGISE and RESIGN NOW


It appears both Jim Mackey & Wes Streeting are threatening Resident Doctors with ādetrimentā as a result of a legal strike They need to check the law More importantly negotiate a better pay deal with commitment to pay restoration or if they are unable, ask ACAS Wes Streeting


Doctors are there in our most critical moments. They care. They heal. They donāt strike lightly. Junior doctors are asking for just Ā£4 more an hour ā many carry Ā£100k+ in debt. The govt must negotiate in good faith with The BMA. Solidarity with striking doctors. #DoctorsStrike




The fact that Wes Streeting is willing to drag out strikes over a measley £23/hr is going to be his undoing That is an absolute bargain for a Doctor and he knows it He can negotiate ~6% above inflation until FPR, and still claim this as a significant win Time's ticking though




1/ Hi Wes Streeting Underemployed, experienced GP here šš¼ Stop telling porkie-pies⦠there may have been a record number of appointments WITHIN GP surgeries but NOT WITH GPs! Qualified GPs are being systematically squeezed out of the 1° care workforce, as you well know.
