@Mike_Clarkson97 Don’t forget rectus sheath catheters

How the turn tables turn

Anyone know how HEE can pay a trust grade doctor >4k less (basic pay) for an ST 1-2 role than a ST1 in a training role? #MedTwitter pls help

Brilliant two days with lots of top presentations, plenty learnt and even more to read up on. Unable to attend the final day at #Anaesthesia2024 but glad @Mike_Clarkson97 and I also got to play with some toys.

Nothing like the walk of sadness home after ur bike gets nicked during a long shift

Idiots who voted for Brexit, is it sinking in yet? The EU is not going to give you special status German car makers are not going to save you No other EU country is leaving Ending free movement works in both directions You were conned, manipulated and played like a cheap banjo.

@DrEilidhMaria Not seeing recognition really, rather acknowledgement of a need to be put in a better education and that being achieved, again, well done. Like me, you’ve been in both systems, therefore you know the difference.

@DrEilidhMaria Merely highlighting the inequality of opportunity and the chance for acknowledgment of a privilege. Regardless, well done on overcoming your obstacles

@DrEilidhMaria Well done you made it into the 6% of Children that can afford private school. Where standard of education as well as recognition and appropriate adaptation for neurodiversity is much higher. If only state schools had the funds to inspire kids to not give up on themselves

A consultant-ready Dr in Neurosurgery earns the same salary as a PA straight from university 15 years of intensive study, post graduate exams, incredibly competitive competition, moving across the country, nights & weekends Vs 2 year simplified conversion course Strike hard

@RishiSunak You chat

For over two weeks, patients have been able to get treated for seven common conditions like sinusitis or earache directly from their local pharmacy. This is freeing up millions of GP appointments and giving patients easier access to the care they need, when they need it.

Hi @BimAfolami Happy to chat about how your government have shut us out of negotiations And even now, with no strikes, they still won’t negotiate with us And how previous to striking we were basically told we’d be ignored until we had a strike ballot 1/

Monthly net salary 2005 DR - £2,168 MP - £2,293 2023 DR - £2,108 MP - £4,939 This is why I support the #DoctorsStrike And last year over 7,000 doctors left the UK for better paid jobs overseas. If you want to save the NHS, you too should support the strike.

Blimey, the propaganda machine is very powerful. I’m a supporter of free at the point of access. We need to separate the important values from the corporate monstrosity the NHS has become. Propaganda like this is only going to contribute to the loss of faith in the NHS.

Doctors don’t get subsidised food; they don’t get free parking; they don’t get free energy or free travel Tory MPs get the lot- free parking; free travel; free energy; subsidised food & £2,400 pay rises. Support doctors please. We need them. They are striking to save the NHS.

@SteveBarclay I’m sure you noticed the 7 hour wait yesterday then, patients and staff loved it. Looking forward to winter, can’t wait for this innovative work you’ve got lined up!

Great to chat to staff and patients in the A&E and the Same Day Emergency Care ward at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, this week. We discussed the innovative work going on to improve care and prepare for winter pressures.

Ignoring the actual cash value doctors are paid for a minute, we hear the argument ‘everyone’s pay is down’ Yes- nobody should have their pay cut But we are not in the same boat Doctors have lost far more pay compared to almost all Pay eroded 10x more than the average worker

'You seem to be using other words but the fact of the matter is we're losing GPs' @susannareid100 questions the Health Secretary Stephen Barclay over the amount of GPs

Today, we announce a 3rd round of industrial action from 14 – 17 June. The Government’s 5% pay increase offer is an insult to junior doctors in England.
