@b_northerner @WildmonkeyUk @PolitlcsUK That phrase suggests the function of the healthcare system exists to improve the lives of those working within it. I have asked you to demonstrate the way it improves the lives of its workers

@Tom_Daubs @WildmonkeyUk @PolitlcsUK Perhaps you might consider what "exists to operate for the benefit of medics" might mean then...

🚨 NEW: Ed Davey has called for a "GP Guarantee" requiring all housing developers to fund new GP surgeries or expand existing practises
English
@b_northerner @WildmonkeyUk @PolitlcsUK I’m not sure regular pay disputes show that employees are getting benefit
English
@Tom_Daubs @WildmonkeyUk @PolitlcsUK Oh, where to start....
How about the Consultant dispute in 2024?

@WildmonkeyUk @PolitlcsUK Respectfully Lee, you're assuming the NHS exists for patients. It doesn't. It operates solely for the benefit of medics. Once you realise that, it all makes sense.

“Moaning minnies”
“Juvenile delinquents”
“Organ grinder”
“Monkeys”
Just a few e.g. of the vile language @wesstreeting has used to publicly insult resident & senior doctors
Dear Wes - here’s a reminder of the NHS workplace bullying criteria…it seems you’re ticking a few boxes

@BMA_James_Steen @fletchjack plus whoever else sat outside Wes Streetings office with a news crew in tow would very quickly and simply show the public who it was that was unwilling to negotiate

Yes @jkyleofficial It is an outrageous thing to say.
This may come as a massive surprise to you- but medical doctors -who have graduated from THIS country- also come from non-white ethnicity.
@wesstreeting @zubirahmed feel free to comment on such poor media reporting
Thanks

Absolutely disgraceful racism from @jkyleofficial on @TalkTV. As the camera zooms in on me and @DrHWazir on the picket line, he sneers that “a lot of them have come into this country to be doctors.” He based this solely on the colour of my skin. I was born in the UK. I studied and trained in the UK and I currently work as a doctor in the NHS. My grandfather fought for this country in WW2. This is racist, demeaning, and utterly unacceptable.

@Emmerdale12345 @LucyLucyctucker @Jenny_1884 I’d probably support your resident doctors in campaigning for more training posts then

Who agrees Drs Surgeries should be open 7 days a week?
Are people not supposed to get ill over Easter as most surgeries were closed for 4 days.

We may not agree on some things, but this is important.
We cannot allow racist bigotry to be normalised, or become acceptable, at any time.
Jeremy Kyle’s language today was disgraceful. Calling it out for what it is, is the right thing to do.
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting
This is completely and utterly shameful. I’m sorry this happened to you and @DrHWazir, Aadam. This flag 🇬🇧 belongs as much to you as me. @TalkTV owe you an apology. By the way, we do have doctors to come to the UK to work in the NHS - and we’re lucky to have them.

Mersey RDC is receiving reports of severe short-staffing at Arrowe Park Hospital this bank holiday.
Doctors are being forced to cover two roles at once due to a management failure to cover known leave and a refusal to trigger escalation rates by executives.
English
@Linda_ex_CPH @DrHWazir So represent you your members a ballot. Fight for better conditions.
Substitution is still unsafe during strikes
English
@DrHWazir Not up for solidarity with a union that is happy throwing other healthcare workers and international doctors under the bus. You whinge on about substitution - who do you think will be doing the work while you are on the picket lines?? You've had a better offer than any of us!
English
This Labour Government has decided to remove 1,000 potential NHS specialist training jobs because doctors wouldn’t bow down to their terms.
Those jobs aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are the future GPs, surgeons, radiologists, anaesthetists and psychiatrists the public will one day need. Removing them doesn’t just punish doctors. It punishes patients and the NHS.
So once again, it’s time to stand together.
Join us at St Thomas’ Hospital on 7th April at 8am for the London picket and show Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer that we are not going anywhere. All doctors and members of the public are very welcome!
There will also be new exclusive BMA merch at the London picket.
Stick together. Strike together. Win together. ✊

@JimBethell Can give a detailed answer.
Would you like it here- by email or by Whatsapp?

We need to be prepared to support collective action by GPs on this issue, which is fundamentally one of professional autonomy vs rationing.
This is not the same as simple Single Point of Access, or GPs seeking Advice and Guidance.

Interesting reading this morning.
📝 BBC article:
“[the BMA] refused to call off a six-day strike next week.”
“the BMA ended the talks”
👉 My letter <24hrs ago:
“we are willing to postpone industrial action should a genuinely credible offer be provided.”
“We are willing to talk before,
during and after any industrial action.”
If govt give us a time and a place, me and my team will be there to talk through any credible offer.

CCT is the mark of a consultant doctor.
It is assurance to a patient that they can trust the person treating them.
GMC is a flawed organisation with no medical expertise. They want to bestow CCTs to anyone they please.
This is a public safety issue.
Please speak up against this

The new GMC Order is undergoing consultation. The GMC is seeking to remove the speciality register and decide by themselves who should be issued a CCT. This right is currently protected in law. This is the last hurdle before the GMC will be able to issue CCTs to PAs.

The draft GMC Order 2026 consultation just dropped. Buried in it is a fundamental change to who can be awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
This matters enormously. Let me explain why.

Linking GP funding to patient consultation ratings will reward bad medicine.
Good care isn’t always popular.
Shaun Lintern@ShaunLintern
Streeting says he will soon roll out patient power payments, where patients will decide if the provider should get the full cost of their care based on the quality of care. Starting with women he says this will "kick medical misogyny where it it hurts."
