Doctor, sick of, and from, the NHS
🚨Stop & watch the future of the NHS‼️ My blood is boiling: ‘I’d not heard of physician associates until about 3 years ago’ (now in Resus alone) ‘We work exactly like doctors do just different training’ & ‘The medic is confident she’s addressed the most urgent of issues’ ☠️
A friend has been seeing a paediatrician for her kids in the US for >3 years I searched up that paediatrician today, turns out she’s a nurse practitioner with an online PhD 3 years of keeping up the facade of being a doctor, never correcting my friend when she referred to her…
You have fully lost doctors at this point @wesstreeting Our assistants are paid £10K more than us - until that is not the case, your words mean nothing
"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.
Professor Gillian Leng, President of the Royal Society of Medicine agrees: doctors are right to be angry. Paid nearly £10,000 less than physician assistants; despite more training, responsibility, and risk. This is how the NHS treats its doctors. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
Nope, it says more about the internal script of the NP that she withheld her (lack of) credentials for years. It’s more akin to the concept of ‘stolen valor’ (in terms of medical training and service), than your so called ‘status anxiety’. My friend happily sees an NP at the…
This is literally so stupid
This is from Warrington ED. I have some questions. - if there’s no consultant at night, has this ED been going against RCEM and BMA guidance and forcing residents to prescribe? - what is the cost effectiveness of a consultant seeing a patient THEN a PA seeing them, and isn’t…
‘Average salary’ this ‘good wage for the uk’ that I am not average!!! And neither is my job! I have three degrees and people die in front of me at my workplace! Stick your average salary!!
Physician Associates are being renamed to Physician Assistants because the public was confused about their role. But here’s what’s truly confusing: A physician assistant now starts on a salary that’s nearly £10,000 more than a fully qualified doctor. Read that again. Doctors…
Certified doctors assistants are paid 30% more than doctors in the UK
Not had a chance to look at the full report yet But one thing the BMA should now be absolutely clear on going into the strikes Doctors ASSISTANTS are paid 30% more than actual Doctors No more pulling punches
I LOVE to see this. ⬇️ This is the only way things change ⬇️
The amount of times I’ve turned up to a GP session & expected to supervise & babysit the rest of the practice - frankly sick of it. This is how negotiations go now:
⚠️ NHS England is still hiring senior staff to expand the Physician Associate workforce – even while it’s under a national safety review and the organisation is being shut down.
Doctors should be grateful to patients: You treating them at 3am without oversight as the most senior doctor there constitutes them letting you train on them for free❤️
And yet you can afford to be a paid subscriber here to air long views. Taking just the debt: forEach £1 a doctor gets in debt the public contribute £3. The content provider for doctors is the public who let them train on them without fee.
The Wicked Witch of the NHS is dead (metaphorically)
1/🧵 One of the most notorious, yet relatively-unscathed villains of the NHS LTWP is: @NavinaEvans ❌The next thing that needs to happen if we’ve any hope of quality healthcare in the UK, is that she needs to step down. ❌Firstly, as former CEO of the excruciating failure…
For once I agree with this self-described ethicist. It’s true. The trade off for the sacrifice that medicine requires used to be the guarantee of financial security, appreciation from the public, and a sense of fulfilment from doing meaningful work. Literally none of this is…

Resident doctors: gruellingly trained for at least 5 years, work nights, resus, trauma, death, despair. Pay: still £14–18/hour. Less than: - Dog groomers (£20/hr) – Personal trainers (£25/hr) – Tube drivers (£30–60/hr) – Private tutors (£30–50/hr) – Electricians (£25–45/hr) But…
I’m paid £20 an hour. In my job at the moment, I help with emergency surgeries out of hours. Those surgeries are life saving. I identify surgical emergencies and start medical management. If there’s a trauma, I help stabilise the patient. I’m in £103,000 of student loan debt.…
You’ve conveniently left out that your offer is just 0.9% above inflation - meaning it’ll take doctors over 20 years to get back to 2008 pay. A doctor moving from £17.56/hr to £22.67/hr is not unreasonable. You also said when you were in opposition that the Government failure…
I would passionately advise every young person regardless of their background to steer well clear of a career in medicine: ✅ a 9% lifetime tax ✅ working you to beyond your breaking point ✅ charging you money for taking a rest break during your shift ✅ paying you so badly…
It’s not talent that is unevenly distributed in our society, it is opportunity. I’m determined to smash through the class ceiling in medicine, to make sure that working class kids from backgrounds like mine and @bphillipsonMP can achieve their dreams 👇🏻 thesun.co.uk/health/3563732…
UK HOSPITALS ARE CHARGING DOCTORS £22.50 PER NIGHT FOR ‘ACCOMODATION’ DURING NIGHT SHIFTS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
You trust them with your life - the NHS charges them to rest. Doctors working overnight, caring for the sick and saving lives, are now being charged just to access a place to rest. What kind of system treats its staff like this? The NHS runs on doctors’ sacrifices, but refuses…
