Doctors are furious. A record breaking turn out of 77.49% and a 98% yes mandate smashing the anti-trade union legislation that demands POSTAL votes for a significant size of the workforce who rotates on an at least an annual basis is undeniable.

"UK, LISTEN UP. "You now have the opportunity, if you move to the private system, to go bankrupt because of medically related debt." Bernie Sanders has one message for Britain: Keep the NHS public.

A normal night shift for an on call doctor in medicine in #NHS #uk #doctors A thread .. 1. Crash call while having food at 5 in the morning, CPR for 40 minutes, got a pulse, arrested again, another CPR for 30 minutes, went to scanner, arrested again, another CPR for 40 minutes,

It's time to make the operating theatre green. Let's start with cloth hats. Here ANZCA we have gathered all the evidence that shows no increase in surgical site infection, and less environmental impact when we wear cloth hats rather than disposable ones.

Let this sink in for a minute before you think about your accountant or solicitor's fees.

35% uplift looks a little like £5/hr - £10/hr restoration £14/hr --> £19/hr £16/hr --> £22/hr £19/hr --> £25/hr £24/hr --> £32/hr £28/hr --> £38/hr That's not going to break the bank. It's £1bn. £4.3bn fraud write off or restore drs pay? £10bn dodgy PPE or restore drs pay?

None of us want to strike 📈#medschool *debt*= £90-150,000 📈personal *cost* of training= £25-100,000 📉our salary 📈 mental/physical trauma from infantilisation, no respect & pandemic= priceless time to pay #juniordoctors what we’re worth #JuniorDoctorsStrike #medtwitter

Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

These used to be £1 before Christmas… now I don’t do a lot of maths… but I’m sure a 20% increase is more than any inflation number quoted. Inflation is out-pacing wages. #FullPayRestoration #FullPayRestorationNow

This month: GMC: £433 Mandatory conference + travel/accommodation: £800 Exam: £380 Indemnity: £140 College fees: £195 £1,948 in ONE MONTH just to keep doing my job… No wonder it often doesn’t feel worth it any more.

A few days of AL, parents back from holiday, brother back from holiday, plans for attending BOA conference and visiting Liverpool based friends (surprise visit to their new house) and catch up with friend from GOSH… Viral symptoms and a lateral flow is the universe’s counter 😷

Absolutely happy to try and help

Finally did my own calculations! £13464! An eye watering amount of money I HAD TO pay out of my £14-£19/h salary. Just to get a job and work as a surgical doctor. Of course didn't include all other 'optional' courses, conferences to make my portfolio competitive 😆

Doctors pay dispute is only one, though totemic & overwhelming, of many serious issues affecting working conditions & unattractiveness of the NHS to doctors. Once started listing issues to express problems doctors face: XVI Theses on UK Postgraduate Doctors’ Discontent😬

Comedian Jon Richardson aping Margot Robbie in a bath, explaining Rishi Sunak’s career as hedgie, Big Short-style, is a thing of genius.
