It was great to be in the halls of Westminster to be part of the launch of "Anti Racist Medicine". The fight against racism is a long but worthwhile fight. Well done to @DrZeshanQureshi, @MehrunishaS and the whole team for putting it together

@Cray_tweets1 It was the last question too, with about twenty seconds left to answer. I don't know if it was a deliberate attempt to fluster me or just a rude interviewer but jeez. I'm looking for a job, not a critique of my life choices.

In one HST interview I got asked about my locum years. Specifically they asked "don't you think you could've used that time more productively?". I told them I got married, had a child, and enjoyed a great work-life balance which I consider pretty productive. No offer. Shocker.

Congrats to everyone that got a job offer this round! For IMT my interview feedback was "little achievement relative to experience" despite having publications, QIPs, leadership etc so if you weren't successful remember that sometimes you just got unlucky with who you got marking

@stefan_mccauley It was never specified so I can only speculate. My best guess was that it was referencing my lack of MRCP Part 1 completion prior to the interview 🤷🏾‍♂️ I would argue the rest of my portfolio was quite good for my level of experience

Why are we using jobs that the NHS needs as a bargaining tool? Maybe, crazy concept, just do some proper job planning? Without strikes we wouldn't even be talking about more jobs how absurd is that? Striking continues to be the only way to make the government hear you
Good Morning Britain@GMB

Sir Keir Starmer has issued an ultimatum to resident doctors to call off their strikes or lose the current deal on the table. The Prime Minister has threatened to withdraw an offer of thousands of extra specialty NHS training posts if the British Medical Association follows through on its threat of a six-day strike after Easter. Last week, the resident doctors' committee rejected a pay rise offer of up to 7.1% without putting it to members for a vote.

Despite getting my job in IMT, that comment stands out to me still because it highlights the subjectivity of the interview process. It'll be difficult to appreciate rn but your score does not reflect your value nor worth as a doctor and we're all grateful for the work you do

At 2pm, the NHS confirmed 1000 jobs would go ahead. At 4pm, the Govt threatened to cut them? 3 weeks ago, goalposts of a pay deal suddenly shifted. Huge amounts of government game-playing. Let’s cut the government games and get a deal done to sort jobs & pay for doctors.

Looking at the offer you can see why @BMAResidents stayed in the room for so long. There are a lot of good things in this offer, LTFT progression being sped up really stood out to me. But 3.5% simply isn't good enough

Please spread the word about Dr Cockrell’s excellent MRCP revision course, which is being held at the Education Centre at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital on the 9th and 10th of May 2026. (1/3)

A phenomenal achievement for residents once again standing together. We can fix this jobs crisis AND restore our lost value. Not a single day of action needs to occur under this mandate - if Govt offers something credible on jobs and pay.
The BMA@TheBMA

It’s a YES. An overwhelming 93.4% of resident doctors in England have voted for further strike action, giving a clear mandate to continue pressuring the Government on jobs and pay in 2026. The overall turnout was 52.54%. Stay tuned for updates on our next steps.

Underpaid nurses aren’t an argument for underpaid doctors. All workers should be paid a decent wage.

@AlexPanton1 @wesstreeting There are a multitude of ways you can address winter pressure, and fixing social care is an important but complex one. Or you can do as @wesstreeting has and act like your hands are tied despite being the secretary of health and blame everyone else

Another winter, and another NHS in crisis. This is every year. Yet successive governments make little to no preparation then act suprised. Maybe @wesstreeting should have done some forward planning. For example settling the resident doctors dispute months prior
