It’s concerning to hear @wesstreeting state he’s not concerned about the NHS losing 1000s of doctors just because they’re international medical graduates. UK graduate prioritisation is needed to address specialty training bottlenecks but needs to include protections for IMG colleagues already working here and contributing to the NHS. Your @DoctorsVoteUK reps will continue to advocate regarding the need for these protections

"The Government’s latest offer fails to address the medical jobs crisis and does nothing to stem the exodus of medics from this country." The health secretary must start treating doctors with respect, as @fletchjack writes in the @guardian 📢👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I don’t think people realise just how big this outcome is. These percentages are high enough to win a statutory ballot and it was done in just 3 days. The fallacy that their leaders were detached from their rank and file is dead. Resident doctors are angry and unified. ✊🏼
The BMA@TheBMA

Strikes will GO AHEAD from 17-22 December, after resident doctors in England voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest offer from @wesstreeting.

@wesstreeting Until a first year resident Doctor earns more than a newly qualified physician assistant there will always be an injustice that fuels the fire within resident doctors.

Strikes will certainly disrupt operations and scans for patients. It is shameful that you and BMA leaders treat that so lightly - as if it is consequence free. That’s our family, friends and loved ones waiting longer when they’ve waited too long as it is.
🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦@DrOKaneAgain

If @wesstreeting wants to guarantee patient safety, he should instruct trusts to cancel all elective activity if the strike is going ahead.

Our resident doctor strikes are covered by kind senior doctors to ensure that emergency activity goes ahead. It is NHS England and yourselves that put patients at risk by pushing for elective activity when staffing is stretched. That is dangerous and a source of shame.

@wesstreeting Every day patients are lined up in corridors, sat on waiting lists for urgent care and suffering poor care due to chronic underfunding. This will not be fixed without reversing years of poor workforce planning and keeping your word around restoring pay so we can keep Drs.

@wesstreeting It’s not reasonable to say you support the rights of striking workers and then call us shameful for taking our right to strike

What the public wants is enough doctors so they can access medical care It’s literally your job to ensure the NHS has enough doctors You choosing to hold doctors’ jobs ransom in a trade dispute is a political choice you’re making A choice the public is paying the price of
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting

I think the public would be appalled if I went ahead with the offer while they’re left suffering Christmas strikes. I don’t want this transactional relationship with the BMA, I want a partnership. I hope we can build that in 2026 if RDs vote for the offer and end the strikes.

Hi @wesstreeting I’m asking in good faith. How does withholding any prioritisation for UK graduates win you any favours with the electorate?(considering the polls and who they are flocking to vote for). Why are you providing them further ammunition to use against you?

Mr @wesstreeting said in the spring he would do something to prioritise UK Grads etc, it's now the end of the year and he has done bugger all, why trust him now?
Dr Melissa Ryan 🦀@Melissa_S_Ryan

Residents, this offer is an insult to us as professionals. It fails to address our pay erosion. It offers little hope of resolving the training crisis: recycling LED posts and vague promises sans details on UK grad prioritisation won’t cut it. The choice is simple. Vote no.

@wesstreeting So your CMO has suggested it needs fixing. You think it needs fixing. But you are holding it hostage? How is that a reasonable thing to do?

This graph shows the problem we've been working to fix. Professor Chris Whitty says the offer to resident doctors will "significantly improve training competition ratios". If resident doctors vote for the offer, there will be fewer than two applicants per post
Professor Chris Whitty@CMO_England

(1/2) Medicine is an international profession and the NHS benefits hugely from exceptional internationally trained graduates. However, the Medical Training Review found competition ratios for training have increased and are now too high in many specialities.

@wesstreeting What I cannot understand, is that if you truly think this is an important thing to do, and as you said in Parliament, important to protect the investment tax payers have made. Then why would you not implement this anyway as its the right thing to do?

This offer provides resident doctors with more jobs, more money in their pockets, and end strikes. It HALVES the competition for jobs from 4:1 to less than 2:1. It is a chance for a fresh start. I urge resident doctors to vote YES.

The BMA RDC chair said this morning that we are doing nothing to create more doctor jobs in the NHS. There are 7,000 more doctors working in the NHS than this time last year. And our offer creates 4,000 more specialty places, halving the competition for jobs. 🧵

@NHSEngland Respectfully, you’re only doing these things because of the pressure from industrial action. Not out of the kindness of your own hearts. Otherwise it would have been done at any point in the last 20-30 years

Post Leng it’s clear the associate project always was as evidence free as it was illogical What needs answering now is why the Colleges & universities were so happy to champion a project that destroyed professional standards & jeopardised patient safety? I want accountability
