Consultants in England, we want to restore pay, pensions and value. Are you ready to fight for what we have lost? Vote YES now bma.org.uk/consultantspay
I can explain the divide. Since Doctors trained & became Consultants or GPs in the 20th century - the “deal” has progressively got worse. • Medical students stopped getting maintenance grants. • Then they had to pay tuition fees - which have risen sharply over 20 years. •…
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
This is it in a nutshell
Today’s resident doctors probably wouldn’t strike either if like you: 🔸Pay wasn’t cut 22% 🔹They didn’t have £100k student loans 🔸They weren’t being replaced by “associates” 🔹They had free accommodation early on 🔸A house was 3x rather than 8x salary 🔹They had job security
Great first day at @Anaes_Residents Conference. Lots of interesting talks and stations. Looking forward to more of the same tomorrow!
Seems pretty pro-strike from patients if 40% support it despite perceived risk to themselves
"Industrial action will set us all back." - @WesStreeting. More patients oppose than support Resident Doctors going on strike, @YouGov has found. The survey was carried out after it was announced Resident Doctors will receive a 28.9% pay rise compared with three years ago.
Time to vote YES again. 1% above inflation is simply not enough on the “journey” towards pay restoration
Between May 15th - June 15th, along with colleagues from @NHSBartsHealth we will be attempting to each walk 107km to #StrideforPalestinians and raise funds for @MedicalAidPal’s essential aid work in #Gaza Please consider sponsoring me 👇🏻 medicalaidforpalestinians.enthuse.com/pf/will-ricket…
“Independent” 🤡
We were even more shocked by Prof Melville's statement on how the GMC reached the decision not to set scope -- no identifiable decision, decision-maker nor review #AUvsGMC
The rest of the world looks at what is happening in the UK with Associates and shakes its head in despair. Now the World Medical Council has passed resolutions in the interest of UK patient safety @medwma wma.net/policies-post/…
Brendan and Marion Chesterton explain what happened when their daughter saw a Physician Associate, what happened when they met Mr Massey at the GMC, and why they are taking them to court. anaesthetistsunited.com/our-daughter-d…
Forced in court to reveal its hand, the GMC claims it has: ❌ NO duty to protect patients ❌ NO obligation to protect patients from being misled by the palpably false claim that PAs are medical professionals. A medical deregulator, now in plainest sight. It’s time @TheBMA
If I don’t pay my GMC fees annually, I am reportable to…the GMC. They have the ability to stop me working. For no reason other than I haven’t paid them hundreds of pounds. They are not there to keep patients safe apparently, so why should I pay them money to be allowed to do…
So 🔹RCOA come out with AA Scope recommendations 🔹 *Someone* submits a response on behalf of Sheffield Anaesthetics department 🔹 Sheffield is refusing to tell us who speaks for >140 anaesthetists without their input Why won’t they tell us who speaks for all anaesthetists…
“There are no shortcuts when it comes to patient safety.” Anaesthesia (Anesthesiology 😀) should only be a physician-delivered specialty
Anesthesiology is complex. Safe care requires physicians trained to manage critical events. There are no shortcuts when it comes to patient safety. Oppose HB 3794. #PatientSafety #medtwitter #StopScopeCreep @ASAGrassroots @texmed #txlege tsa.org/advocacy/
