Association statement on Junior Doctor strike action anaesthetists.org/Home/News-opin… @Assoc_Anaes when will you be issuing a statement on the forthcoming IA or does this only occur when we have a Cons Gov🤔

To anyone wondering if doctors are so badly done to that they have no option but to strike please have a look at this independent analysis of their pay. Exploring the earnings of NHS doctors in England (2025 update) | Nuffield Trust nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/explo…
I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
Labour backed raising the age of consent from 16 to 18 for getting a tattoo, buying alcohol, watching porn, opening a bank account, purchasing cigarettes, using a sunbed or being tried as an adult. Now they tell us they are acting from principle.
‘Relieved of your duties’ or ‘we no longer desire your services’ You must have upset someone🤔
you can;t fire anyone from a voluntary non-paying post. Do you not know this?
Junior/Resident Doctors claim they need a further 29% pay rise to ‘restore’ their pay. But by using their unusually high RPI measure of inflation, everyone in the country has had a 14.3% pay cut. via @adb0wen
A big mistake was to implement the EWTD. Trainees should have retained a 24-hr resident ‘on-call’ opt out. Had this been the case we would not have the ‘crisis’ we see today amongst trainees: Training would/could be shorter Trainees would have better job satisfaction Patient…
🚨Junior doctors - I have done some maths. First some history. 2008 - Junior doctors worked under an exemption to the working time directive. Their basic salary was for 56 hrs average week NOT including overtime and on calls. Many doctors were on double pay due to non…

Ditto for the NHS! My worry is that the military are not far behind🤔
This is going to be incredibly unpopular with the chattering classes but this entire Rachel Reeves sop fest is exactly why this country is screwed. We used to have politicians who fought in wars like Churchill or faced relentless criticism for making important and difficult…
Adjuncts for neuraxial anaesthesia in obstetrics - BJA Education bjaed.org/article/S2058-… This has the reference to IT v IV Dexamethasone. I assume that given the IT route confers no added value then the IV route should be the default, and safer, option🧐
You know you are over the target when those who don’t like your Q block you😄 @dieracg @DrHWazir
Trainees are not ‘on-call’, they work an overnight 12-hr shift. This is no different to other nighttime NHS staff such as the ICU nurses, many of whom work longer shifts than trainees. Just because you’ve fudged a name-change to ‘resident drs’ does not give you a right to demand…
In 2023, when I argued that the perpetrators of Grooming Gangs were ‘almost all British Pakistani’ men, IPSO (the press regulator) ruled that my assertion was ‘misleading’ and ordered a correction. The Casey review has confirmed that IPSO was wrong to make such a decision. To…

Having recently cycled through central London I agree that the issue is with rogue cyclists and not motorists!
Various places in London crossing the road is taking your life in your hands. Always cyclists - not motorists - who disregard red lights and pedestrian crossings. 👇
Sir Michael Eavis, a lifelong Socialist and Corbyn supporter, tells the Guardian that people who don’t agree with Glastonbury politics can go elsewhere. Fair enough, but where would Sir Michael go after his recent decision to avoid £80 million in inheritance tax by transferring…
Worth noting that Keir Starmer defended an activist who broke into an RAF base to set fire to aircraft. Starmer claimed his client was legally justified because it might stop a war crime. If he'd won that argument in 2004, what happened at Brize Norton would be perfectly legal.
The act of vandalism committed at RAF Brize Norton is disgraceful. Our Armed Forces represent the very best of Britain and put their lives on the line for us every day. It is our responsibility to support those who defend us.
Still waiting for the economic “devastation” to hit Argentina
Ahem.
