The 10-minute consultation in primary care was designed for acute problems such as sore throats, issuing repeat prescriptions or carrying out basic follow-ups. With the increasing complexity of patients and a greater range of management options, longer consultations are needed.

What Privatisation has done for you? Most expensive Energy in the world. Dirtest most expensive Water in Europe in England. Slowest most expensive Mail ever. Slowest most expensive Trains in Europe Least number of Hospital beds ever.* *Privatised Hospital building

Oh wow this has been shared over 1000 times! 😮

Private investors have extracted more than £523 million in profit and interest payments from NHS PFI contracts…🚨

Hearing now how every transfer of resources from NHS into private sector reduces the capacity of public sector. 30 per cent is now more realistic figure for privatisation of the NHS - 5 big cataract surgery firms making 32% return on investment, £169m profit

Those privatising the NHS don’t want you to sign up to my newsletter - because I’ll tell you what’s going on… 🚨💙 jujuliagrace.substack.com

You’re right The Sunday Times! Now keep going! Say it after me: “Billions in tax-payer money is being funnelled out of the NHS in various ways, because politicians are turning the NHS into a cash-cow for private shareholders.” thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

Hi @BMAResidents, We're nearing the end of this re-ballot, and I want to remind you why it matters. This year, 30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 specialty training jobs. You can see the numbers just don't work This left many, including friends of mine, jobless come August. Unacceptable. We have 9-hour A&E waits, more than 7 million on waiting lists, and people can’t see GP's. @wesstreeting Goes on about community hubs, AI and CT scanners. But he wont pay to train more Doctors. AI and CT scanners won’t fix this, boots on the ground will. The bill in Parliament is a start, but doesn’t solve the long-term job crisis; only a real jobs package will. More jobs mean more training spots and lowering competition ratios for everyone We must push Wes Streeting for a jobs package but also for more protection for this who are not in training and ending this merry go round on 1 year locally employed contracts. But to do that, we need over 50% of ballot returned. Personally, I want to see the level of engagement right after we were called Moaning Minnie's and Juvenile delinquents. That would be HUGE! Without a strong ballot return, we lose leverage. Without leverage we dont negotiate Without negotiations EVERYTHING stops and EVERYONE looses. Pay matters too! We’re paid less than doctors pre-COVID while working harder. There are more patient, more complex treatments and no increase in boots on the ground or renumeration for the skills and expertise you bring to work every day! We also lose doctors to other countries who do value them or out of medicine entirely. This can not continue Pay restoration is essential. Its essential to retain doctors we have trained here. But it is essential to value the hard working and experienced doctors that keep the nation healthy. So, if your ballot isn’t posted, do it TOMORROW! You have till Monday but don't wait and miss the last post, Do it TOMORROW! No ballot = no leverage. No leverage = everyone looses Let’s protect our future. In solidarity, Nick.

This is the real story that the media should be covering today 🚨

If you were trying to destroy the NHS from the inside, you could not be doing a better job than Wes Streeting is right now. Qualified medical professionals should not have a jobs crisis when we have a longstanding staffing deficit in the NHS.

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.

Soon the ratio on this tweet will be higher than the competition ratios.

Vote NO in the online poll. The "offer" is a joke. And it's not even funny. Doctors, Vote! #FullPayRestoration @DoctorsVoteUK @BMAResidents

The NHS was already neglected long before any strikes. Doctors striking isn’t the cause of collapse; it’s a symptom of a system that hasn’t been properly valued. And since their absence truly threatens the NHS, why not pay them what they’re worth instead of blaming them?

My GP patients: • ?head & neck cancer • Abnormal haematology results • Complex neuro symptoms • Acute abdomen • Paediatric case - borderline admission • Severe mental health I can’t iterate this enough… NO-ONE is safe to work as a GP if they have not trained AS A GP!

Patients back doctors. Physician assistants are paid more, with guaranteed progression. Taxpayer-funded UK grad docs are locked out of training. Many can’t become consultants, some are unemployed. Waiting lists are over 7m and government hails 230k fewer appointments. We need consultants, not substitutes. @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk

Plumbers are worth £90 an hour, corporate lawyers are billed at £1000 an hour. Resident doctors deserve £22.

IMPORTANT: New research by EveryDoctor shows how powerful private finance and construction firms are lobbying ministers to revive PFI, a model once condemned as a “catastrophic waste of taxpayers’ money”💰🚨💰🚨 Please share -everyone needs to see this. everydoctor.org.uk/talking-points…

NHS trusts are locked into paying private companies more than £20 billion 😮🚨, and it looks like Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are planning more NHS privatisation…

You know @wesstreeting if you stopped paying all the people pretending to be doctors such a lot of money, and actually spent it on doctors and training specialists then you probably would have a well staffed and well trained medical workforce to provide care for the future.
