Couple this with pay erosion, a recruitment crisis and reduction in bed stock/community social care. Any wonder doctors are saying #NHS is broken? Is it any wonder there are #strikes? Failures by successive governments? Or ‘juvenile delinquent’ doctors? @TheBMA @wesstreeting

Let’s go back to 2010! We didn’t need cancer pathways as urgent referrals were seen in 2-3 weeks, routine in 2-3 months Recruitment was rising, jobs were good. It wasn’t perfect but in 4 decades of NHS work it was the best it had been THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED ….

There are thousands of trained doctors in the UK right now — unemployed. Not because they’re unnecessary. Not because there’s no demand. But because the government refuses to fund the NHS roles we desperately need. In this video, I explain how government austerity, fiscal dogma, and a fundamental misunderstanding of money are forcing young doctors out of medicine — and even out of the country — while people are left waiting for treatment. If we have the doctors, we can fund the doctors. So why won’t they?youtu.be/jN42hYQsehU?si…

Sick of being called ‘greedy’, Brown line is consultants, way below the zero line, the blue line is average workers, back above zero. Average pay has climbed at about equal rates over last 3 years but consultant pay still nearly 20% down graph (CPI). There’s full tax restoration, where’s the pay restoration journey, show us Wes.

The BMA Resident Doctors Committee still refuses to meet me. After a 28.9% pay rise, they say another 29% is “non-negotiable.” This is not the way a reasonable trade union behaves.

The results are in: we have a clear mandate to strike. More than 90% of you who voted in our ballot, voted YES. You’ve made it clear: enough is enough. Our fight for full #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England continues.

@wearfigs Great to see your 20% discount for NHS staff, however you seem to have excluded us NHS workers in Northern Ireland. Your system doesn’t recognise our ‘hscni.net’ work email; none of us here have ‘nhs.net’ emails. Hopefully temporary 🤞

Myself & @ThomasBurton12 are carrying out research into the short & long term psychological impact on police officers of witnessing prehospital resuscitative thoracotomy. Please re-tweet, share & send to anyone you think it might be relevant to.

Our NHS has been stuck in the dark ages — that ends now. By using the latest technology and expanding the NHS app, my government will slash waiting lists, get patients seen faster, and save taxpayers money.

*cries in emergency medicine* Seriously tho, I see the benefit of this service but it needs some kind of safety netting put in place so that not everybody with a one-off high BP gets sent to ED to receive their unnecessary stat dose of amlodipine & get sent home again.
Dr Dean@DeanEggitt

Pharmacists in the UK are now offering a hypertension case-finding service! What do you think about this initiative? Great way to catch high BP early or a role best left to GPs? 🤔 Share your thoughts! #Pharmacy #Hypertension #Healthcare

Most of the “literature” to facilitate the role out of PAs and AAs is more fiction than fact. @trishgreenhalgh reveals the substandard quality, gaps in the literature, and measurement/outcome bias. The literature does not stand up to scrutiny! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

So NI unions (@BMA_NI @RCN_NI @NASUWT @unisontheunion) having to fight tooth and nail to get between 5-6% uplifts for 24/25, with public sector pay awards being consistently delayed/diluted but MLAs award themselves 38%. Farcical
Gerry Carroll@GerryCarrollPBP

I voted against today's motion, while many MLAs bent over backwards to justify this extortionate pay increase for themselves. In no other job would a 38% increase be considered reasonable. Why should MLAs be treated differently than any other worker?

@ExplosiveEnema2 In what scenario would it ever be deemed necessary for a PA to intubate a patient in resus? No ED registrars or consultants? No anaesthetic registrars or consultants?
