@Peterhardwick17 @ox_anna29 Not as much as doctors. We have suffered the worst pay erosion in the public sector

This is just what some doctors have reported. The truth is likely much, much worse.
Trusts cannot continue putting patient lives at risk to pinch pennies.
Locum rates must be escalated to fill gaps!
@TheCountessNHS @WUTHnhs
Stop putting your bottom line above patient care.

In just 2 months, across 2 hospitals in our region: → 30+ consultants stepped down to cover ED resident gaps → 28 other individual reports on unfilled shifts reported → Up to 3 gaps left open per shift
English
@DrBeckyl It’s often not a choice between a locum and a consultant; it’s a choice between a consultant and an empty rota. If a locum isn't available, someone has to keep the ward safe.
Yes, elective work is cancelled, but that’s the cost of a system with no slack.
English
@MerseyRRDC When a consultant has to step down, does that mean their normal clinical activity is affected? What happens? How much are they paid?
Surely it is better and cheaper to get a locum registrar in! Why aren't they?

We are not short of doctors who want to train. We are short of positions for them.

Gaps when A&E departments are the busiest they have ever been! This is happening on non-strike days.
@TheCountessNHS @WUTHnhs, management what are you doing to address this?
Last year, 4,724 doctors were turned away from emergency medicine training.

Standing strong at the Royal today! 🪧🩺
The message is clear: Patients need doctors, and doctors need jobs. We are out here fighting for fair pay and the future of the NHS.

I’m not furious
I’m very supportive of tomorrow’s consultants
🤷♂️

Furious consultants hit out at striking doctors and warn walkouts will cause weeks of chaos The exhaustion and stress from 15 strikes The BMA is trying to put us in an early grave @alisonleary1 @Michell24423236 independent.co.uk/news/health/do…

@DrBeckyl This specific portal is designed for staff to report clinical safety concerns, but patient feedback is vital. Patients can usually report similar concerns via the PALS or directly to the Trust’s management to ensure their voice is heard in the funding debate.
English
@MerseyRRDC Can patients also report? Or is there another mechanism?

This Good Friday at Arrowe Park, whilst doctors were NOT on strike:
We received reports of patients needing critical treatments, including blood transfusions, waiting over 24 hours due to severe staffing shortages.

Not even a strike day
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk
"NOBODY wants strikes in our NHS. Every time junior doctors walk out, it's patients who feel the impact — and other NHS staff left picking up the pieces." @WesStreeting on how these strikes will mean delayed operations and families left waiting in pain. More in @TheSun: thesun.co.uk/health/3873537…

Over the coming days and weeks, we will be sharing further cases submitted to our safety portal, highlighting unsafe care across the region linked to funding cuts and management decisions.

Would a plane be allowed to take off without the appropriate cabin crew?
Medicine is a safety critical industry run by management disassociated from the clinical consequences of their failures.
@wesstreeting intervene now.
You can't say you didn't know.
Mersey Regional Resident Doctors Committee@MerseyRRDC
A trust already under CQC scrutiny. 8 doctors short. Known gaps ignored. Escalation rates refused to save money. Patients were put at risk on Good Friday as a deliberate choice. We are still awaiting a response.

Important gaps unfilled. Is patient safety not a priority?
What are you doing to remedy this @WUTHnhs ?

Why is this becoming a new reality within the NHS?
@wesstreeting when will NHS funding be restored in Cheshire and Mersey to ensure we have adequate number of doctors to look after patients??

@HayleyKendall13 @debs_smith1 @WUTHnhs @wesstreeting This isn’t sustainable. Maybe it’s time to rethink strategy Mr Streeting!
English
@HayleyKendall13 @debs_smith1 @WUTHnhs Clearly funding cuts imposed since October are now actively harming patient care.
Decisions coming from @wesstreeting and @DHSC are forcing ICBs to reduce funding and patients are already feeling the consequences.
