@DrEilidhMaria Have you sailed with them before? I was impressed - and the pool wasn't that bad, most cruise ship pools are small!

@AliJaneMoore @medicalmodelbri @BSmytheee BMA suggesting he will do this tomorrow ‘after extensive BMA lobbying’…
English
@medicalmodelbri @BSmytheee I think it has to be "commenced" which is meant to happen tomorrow but the DHSC press release says UK grads etc "will be prioritised for specialty training posts they apply to this year. The application process is currently underway" which sounds pretty certain.
English
So the UK graduate prioritisation scheme will come into force in time for August starts for new specialty trainees (who are being interviewed now). Just wonder if its swift adoption signifies anything for the wider talks on residents' pay? Is there a potential deal coming?
English
If we want to begin valuing doctors in the UK, overhauling medical recruitment must be a top priority.

@DrLindaDykes Out of all three, BMA have a very useful export button in your account section where you can export a statement for tax purposes.

Anyone who's already done their tax return.... what was the 24/25

b) BMA and

@sheona_macleod Increased flexibility, increased resource for rostering teams & medical HR, simplification of study leave processes, standardised access to self development time - more than happy to host a visit to show how we're aiming to improve this at @BucksHealthcare

NHSE is listening. What do we need to change to make training better for doctors and patients?

1/ Today NHS England is launching a new review looking at postgraduate medical training. Resident, locally employed, specialty and specialist doctors provide expert, compassionate care across the NHS every day.

@parthaskar @BBCRadio4 @bbcnickrobinson @JustinOnWeb @NHSEngland @NickTriggle @amolrajan @doctor_katie @doctor_oxford @trishgreenhalgh @hilarynathan01 @DrSelvarajah @VictoriaTzB @DrAsifQasim @Trisha_the_doc Absolutely agree - we must push back on this narrative as a profession. Patients expect doctors to protect them and balance the benefits of innovation with the risk - not a free for all!
English
Understand Sir John Bell said on @BBCRadio4 that doctors are a 'resistance to innovation'
As someone who has led innovation in #T1Diabetes (@bbcnickrobinson check with @JustinOnWeb) from @NHSEngland
Doctors resist non-evidence based 'innovation'

"The medical profession is locked into a way of life... they are deeply conservative." Leading clinician Prof Sir John Bell tells @amolrajan and @bbcnickrobinson that Wes Streeting will have to face down the British Medical Association to reform the NHS. 🎙️ The Today Podcast ⬇️
English
@BlackM1710 @DrMartinGray @GaryMcAllister It remains bonkers. I consistently discuss with NHSE colleagues that we should be nationally targeting this for productivity gains and staff morale.
English
Seriously though.. IT could fix this with an NHS wide dynamic rostering system. The Uber or staffing ... but no one is innovating.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
Keir Starmer, "I'm not prepared to see even more of your money spent on agency staff who cost £5,000 a shift" Finally! 👏
English
This narrative is harmful and unfair. All the doctors I work with want to make changes to improve the lives of our patients and communities. However, doctors will always stand up for ensuring the safety of patients and that any changes are based on evidence-based practice.

@goldstone_tony @danielsnufc @DaweGemma @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour @TheBMA Am I misunderstanding (I do agree both are issues) - but are you saying that there are more docs at £200k+ pre tax, than there are docs with children (age under 4) at £100k pre tax?
English
@geridocmark @danielsnufc @DaweGemma @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour @TheBMA Both important. I have no hard data on this but I suspect AA taper is bigger problem but both need solving 👇
Dr Tony Goldstone@goldstone_tony
@wesstreeting 6/ other tax cliff for newer consultants with young children highlighted by @TheIFS @DanNeidle and others We all want to fix waiting lists. But we cant, and wont, pay to work
English
💯% agree with @DaweGemma
@wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP will need to understand the barriers to doing additional work
@UKLabour didn’t make these stupid rules and tax cliffs
But it’s in their gift to diagnose the problem, and fix it - and fix a broken NHS 🤞
Gemma Dawe@DaweGemma
@goldstone_tony @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @DrPhilBanfield @trentconsultant @BMA_Pensions Totally agree - I have time and energy to do extra reporting of scans in my spare time but cap the amount that I do because of this
English
@goldstone_tony @danielsnufc @DaweGemma @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour @TheBMA I'm not sure I understand this? Surely the 100k childcare tax trap is also fairly important - I suspect it might catch more Consultant / Senior SpRs than the other thresholds? It clearly adds a limit to the work that a SpR / early year Consultant will do?
English
@danielsnufc @DaweGemma @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour @TheBMA I hope you dont me saying, but I think its a irrelevant comment. So lets turn this around - say YOU ARE just under threshold - carry on and do more regardless (risk paying to work)?
Or just above any able to mitigate, say dropping a session?
What would you do Daniel, seriously?

@oldenoughtosay I'm not an O&G, but thought that it was fairly usual for a bump to be bigger for second pregnancy?

@goldstone_tony I only have 2015 scheme and mine is broken too. Suspect it's a problem for all? It's always previously generated figures...
English
2/ But this doesn't look very encouraging at all! (never been out of the scheme, straightforward member) - TRS has always worked for me [Salary data on the other screens appears to have worked]
Hopefully this fix itself... have others been able to access?
English
1/ So @nhs_pensions were meant to update TRS overnight to 23-24 which *SHOULD* show post rollback service for those affected by McCloud... so far so good on the front screen
English
@AliJaneMoore Myself and @DrRobgalloway have spoken to both @NHSEngland and @NHSEmployers about this countless times. It doesn't need to be this way. Am more than happy to discuss with anybody who wishes to change it @TheBMA @BMA_JuniorDocs @wesstreeting ...
English
despite giving many months' notice. Think the answer to that one was - again - that they needed to sort out a swap. Juniors have little agency over their own lives yet are told they must somehow improve productivity. No wonder many are heading for Oz - wouldn't you? 3/3
English
The insanity of junior docs' working conditions continues to amaze me. What other professional groups are told they can't take holiday during substantial parts of their rota without doing swaps with colleagues - which they have to arrange? Or find it impossible to take two 1/n
English
@KateBurkeNHS @KateBurkeNHS massively agree - hero language is one of the biggest challenges for the NHS. We need to treat our colleagues and organisation in a professional and sustainable manner

@geridocmark @j_hankinson @dannyjnwong Is there a roundup for this or some key papers? Need to add it to the folder.

As an ICU registrar at a big teaching hospital, I could lie down in the doctor's office on a little foam mat on the floor under a desk if the chairs were moved away. One night my consultant, who stayed in for a particularly sick patient, took my spot. I then resolved to quit ICU.

🚨 Call out to @NHSEngland resident doctors 🚨 Please send photos / descriptions of your overnight sleeping arrangements in 🏥 I would like to collate a database of how poor your conditions are. I’ll tag @wesstreeting and @TheBMA so they can improve conditions!

@DrEilidhMaria @Dr_Done_ @RossNieuwoudt Sounds an odd idea, why would you not open it to software developers doing this for years?

Some are trying to profit from your exploitation by charging a fee to see if hospitals are underpaying you.
