For anyone interested in Medical Devices and #SaMD.

11/32 So what about Annual Allowance? I wont cover this again in detail - suffice to say 22/23 is going to be a *terrible* year, especially for GPs but for consultants too. x.com/goldstone_tony…

Real Case😢 54yr GP partner, 6 sessions working 50s/week Take home pay 22/23: £45,600 Annual allowance 22/23: £29,000 Net pay after pension tax bill paid: £16,600. Hrly net pay: £6.38 Outcome: Retiring age 55 "main reason for leaving = pension taxation" RT if concerned for NHS

Rapidly rising inflation is a disaster for doctors & their patients. Will lead to massivley higher AA charges & rapidly falling LTA. I fear many colleagues will quit earlier than they wish. PLEASE spend a few mins doing this👇 *&* customising your email so your MP understands RT

THREAD on why "living with" frequent mass Covid infections is a BAD IDEA (& what we can do!): There is a negative feedback cycle for transmission & *each time* we go through it in a wave we damage our people, our NHS and our economy a bit more. let me show you how... 1/17

Some quirks of NHS pension & taxation make you despair for GPs 39yr old GP, earns £85k practitioner & £6k officer Officer role triggers £35k AA spike (post McCloud) in 2022/23🤯for no extra benefit at 60* (*for🤓, future FVEC accrual likely overtakes separate officer benefit)

Still regularly discovering errors on NHS pensions This week, misallocated arrears & incorrectly recorded LTFT contract led to total overcharged AA tax of £60k+ over 3 years Consultant thought it was normal as everyone was getting AA charges This system is not fit for purpose
