At today's RDC meeting, we’ve voted to go ahead with strike action. Last week when we met @wesstreeting we were open to finding solutions to restore pay and improve working conditions. Today, we still do not have a credible offer on the table @Melissa_S_Ryan @RossNieuwoudt

We've written to NHS England with concerns about inadequate planning ahead of possible strike action later this week. Attempts to run non-urgent services with fewer doctors risk patient safety. It's imperative that Trusts postpone work to protect urgent and emergency care.
As our national colleagues @BMAResidents held constructive talks with @wesstreeting to try avert strike action next week, And in the context of the @lengreview outputs, Here’s a reminder of the perverse disparity the current NHS pay structure produces here in the capital.👇🏼
Today’s talks with the Health Secretary were constructive, and we believe there’s a window of opportunity - albeit small - in which the Government can put forward a strong enough proposal to prevent strikes. Full statement: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Sometimes you’ve got to dance with the one who brung ya @wesstreeting You have a very small window to present a good enough offer to @BMAResidents to avoid the strikes So let us see what your “working with the profession” really means independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Calling all London doctors! The London picket will be at St Thomas’ Hospital on Friday 25th July, 8am–12pm. This is a key moment in our fight for full pay restoration. Every voice matters. Every presence counts. Let’s show @wesstreeting our strength and our resolve.
“The trouble is the review… avoids the difficult question of how you set that scope, that limit of what PAs can do.” Responding to the Leng Review, BMA council chair @thomasdolphin has spoken to the BBC about doctors’ concerns over patient safety

I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased. Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees. We are only asking for £23/hour. @wesstreeting

Following yesterday’s strike ballot result, we met with @wesstreeting It’s clear: the Government is refusing to negotiate on pay. We are now preparing for a full 5 day walk-out, beginning on Friday 25 July. Our door will always be open to constructive talks. #PayRestoration
