Views my own, don't moan about your profession unless you can state a better job you had. Can't afford a house, how many family members have more than one?

@acutedr @ClinOncDoc @Lageraemia Not from the crash team, who actually coordinate the crash. I won’t expect a HCA to know how to assess an arrest, or lead the arrest team. Again, at least educate yourself before forming such a strong opinion. Well done.

UK media is literally just millionaire presenters calling doctors greedy for wanting to be paid more than £18/hr for saving your lives in the middle of the night.

@acutedr @ClinOncDoc @Lageraemia Hi, f1 here. When a crash call happens it’s very possible we’re first responders and the first to recognise arrest and start CPR. I’ve done it. Just the other day my colleague prevented life threatening anaphylaxis. Before having an opinion at least make sure you’re informed

@RCEMpresident Gall’s law says: “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.”

Perhaps the current focus on the vulnerability of our emergency care system could provide the final wake-up call needed to focus on it once we’ve got through this crisis. We were already in trouble, with no road map out, and ignored in the budget. Time to reconsider priorities?

@DrNickDalmon @BMAResidents So the answer is train less doctors and bring back the rigorous entrance interview. This should include knowing what you are signing up to. 15 years of hard graft before any significant reward. Doesn't suite snowflakes. But does suit those who have experienced other employment

Dr Nick Dalmon@DrNickDalmon·
Hello @BMAResidents We’ve now shared the offer from Wes Streeting. On the headline, it sounds big: “4,000 jobs.” But you need to read the detail, not the headline. First: it’s only 1,000 more jobs this year. We currently have around 10,000 training posts and more than 30,000 applicants. One extra year of 1,000 posts does not fix the crisis. It barely touches it. Second: none of these posts are new. There is no increase in the overall number of jobs for resident doctors. Every one of these “new training posts” is just a locally employed doctor post being converted into a training number. So if you don’t get into training, there will now be fewer jobs available outside training. That is not expansion; that is moving the deckchairs on the Titanic. Third: UK graduate prioritisation is being attached to this offer. This policy costs the government nothing, and they were already planning to do it. It is being packaged into the offer to make it look bigger than it is. Fourth: there are no long-term fixes. These 4,000 posts are temporary, one-off, and will not permanently increase training numbers. We simply hit the same bottleneck again a year later, but worse, because medical school output is increasing and there is no plan for higher specialty posts. The government has not even confirmed which specialties these posts will be in, where they will be, or whether any higher training posts will follow afterwards. Fifth: the offer is designed to split us. It takes a crisis affecting everyone and turns it into a race. Some might feel they have been given something and walk away. That is exactly what the government wants: doctors divided. They are clearly under pressure over December strikes. A month ago, Streeting was talking about consulting on prioritisation. Now he is rushing emergency legislation. That is not confidence. That is panic. And panic means we can get more, if we stay united. And remember what is missing entirely: *no multi-year pay deal *no pay uplift for 2025/26 or 2026/27 *no employment guarantee for doctors stuck in the bottleneck *no extra pay for hours over 40 or antisocial hours *no nodal reform to stop starting salaries falling behind PAs *no funding for GMC fees or essential costs *no meaningful change to premia or safety-critical allowances This offer gives us: *no real expansion *no job security *no sustainable plan *and no headline pay talk at all About the poll: We will run an indicative poll online, which will open at 7am on Friday 12 December and close at 7am on Monday 15 December. We will ask you what you think of this offer and whether it should form the basis for next steps. Remember: *The Government presented this offer on Sunday with a deadline of Tuesday to respond. *Strike action has compelled the Government to make a new offer. *Voting in this indicative poll will not settle either dispute. *A YES vote in this poll will not prevent us taking strike action after December. *This poll result does not affect the status of the re-ballot; vote YES in the re-ballot regardless. We want to hear your thoughts and are presenting this offer factually. I will be voting NO. I personally think it isn’t worth the paper it is written on, and I suggest you do the same. Vote NO. Do not let government buy off our unity with repurposed posts and short-lived promises. We are worth more than this. In solidarity, Nick

"I had been triaged by AI" I wasn't aware that any AI tools triage patients without a human being being involved? Anyone know? What kind of indemnity do they have?
Ash Paul@pash22

Tried using the new online @NHSEngland & @rcgp GP booking system? I have – and it was almost as miserable as my chest infection. @wesstreeting ’s plan to make booking easier made sense. Then I encountered an AI triagist, a stubborn receptionist and a Kafkaesque vicious circle theguardian.com/commentisfree/… @shattenstone

@wesstreeting Thanks Wes. If you're sums are correct this is helpful. BMA need to choose a concern. Either its not enough jobs or its an issue with pay. The 2 are mutually exclusive. Limited pay means more leave the profession so less competition for jobs.

You’re right about the state of competition ratios, but the offer reduces the ratio to 2:1 and for the CURRENT round as well as the future. We can do this through emergency legislation, if strikes end.
HG19@hggg_19

@wesstreeting When competition ratios for specialties are currently 14:1, 21:1… 4000 jobs with no plan for the future is futile. It also shows the government’s understanding of the situation seems entirely inadequate. It seems more of a plan for public support instead of solving a crisis.

OK, let’s do some maths (yeah) We use £15b per year from the NHS budget to pay private providers That could: - Double the number of GPs (~£7b) AND - Increase NHS hospital capacity by 30% (~£8b) So, I ask again, Wes, can we have one good reason for using private providers?
