Todays picket at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham🪧 £22.67/hr is not an unreasonable ask. Doctors have subsidised the NHS for far too long. Perhaps @wesstreeting needs reminding that the power to stop these strikes lies squarely with the government. @BMAResidents

How to build a doctors-first union: Check your post for a ballot booklet and vote for a team that will deliver a strong and efficient BMA for you. Demand workplace support not internal meetings. Demand action not policy docs. Only a union laser-focussed on your priorities can win on pay, UKGP and ending dr substitution. Vote DoctorsVote for a doctors-first union.

Today’s picket in Birmingham Grassroots doctors spoke in numbers earlier this week. @wesstreeting must move further on both pay and jobs If the government was serious about tackling seasonal flu pressures, they’d listen to Resident Doctors. As a country we need more doctors

Doctors: vote NO to this weak offer. No progress on pay. No new jobs. No employment guarantees. This is an offer to solve the Government's political problems whilst doctors are still in need of pay and jobs. Vote NO (online) to the offer Vote YES (on paper) in the BMA ballot

Dr Brown spoke with the BBC at our picket. She wants to become an A&E Consultant. However, last year 14 doctors applied per A&E training place and she was unsuccessful. It is a disgrace that patients are waiting hours in A&E, when doctors like Poppy are locked out of training.

Todays Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham picket☔️ It is absurd doctors are struggling find work, yet patients cannot see a GP and are waiting hours in A&E It’s pretty simple @wesstreeting. Resolve the jobs crisis, commit to restoring our pay and we need not strike another day

The BMA didn’t put our offer to their members and now we know why: they wouldn’t have backed their unnecessary and irresponsible strikes. They should give their members a say, call off these strikes and stop risking the NHS’s recovery. thetimes.com/article/c039c2…

Resident doctors in the West Midlands! Join us outside the QE Hospital this Friday 14th between 8am and 11am for our regional picket line. There is still time for these strikes to be called off if @wesstreeting comes forward with a credible offer on pay and jobs.

@RachelReevesMP stated yesterday getting waiting lists down was a government priority. A day later and it appears the government are not serious about this issue. If they were @wesstreeting would ensure there were enough jobs for doctors and would pay them fairly. A reminder⬇️

Resident doctors strikes, coming after a 28.9% pay increase, are self-defeating for doctors, damaging to patients and our efforts to rebuild our NHS. My letter to resident doctors with an offer to expand jobs and improve conditions.

What’s ’completely absurd’ is the fact we have unemployed doctors, yet ever growing waiting lists. If the government was serious about cutting them, they would expand the number of specialty training places, so we have more consultants to see patients and no doctors unemployed.
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk

"The BMA should call off these needless strikes, come back to the table, and give negotiations a chance." Watch Health and Social Care Secretary @WesStreeting's statement on BMA resident doctors announcing more strikes.

There are unemployed doctors in this country, whilst waiting lists are growing and patients cannot see a doctor. This is under the watch of @wesstreeting This dispute can be resolved by ending the bottleneck crisis AND ensuring the 21% pay cut doctors have received is reversed
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting

Resident doctors strikes are completely unnecessary and irresponsible. My team and I have been talking to the BMA in good faith and are prepared to negotiate on jobs and conditions. They’ve had a 28.9% pay rise. We can’t go further now. But we can address jobs and conditions👇🏻

Wes Streeting has failed to commit to concrete proposals on pay or jobs. We are left with no choice but to strike. We will strike between 07:00 Friday 14th November and 06:59 Wednesday 19th November. This will be a full walkout.

I am standing for Communications Officer and visited Good Hope Hospital today, to talk to doctors. As a team, we helped overturn the locum rate cuts @uhbtrust, where I am a rep. I also met with Prof Leng 1 on 1 during her review into Physician Assistants.
