Very pleased to see our paper on CT heads for first seizures in ED published in the @EmergencyMedBMJ Is a CT head required for patients with a first seizure in ED? Read our paper at: emj.bmj.com/content/early/…

Just a personal view If as a senior clinician you find Resident Doctors position “outrageous”? Then you should also declare your lack of outstanding debts, relevant Clinical awards, Pension pot etc simultaneously And no, we didn’t work “much harder” than them. I should…

Prof Sikora, if we calculated your lifetime reward package and mine, would you give back the difference to the NHS/government? That way we could each contribute the same amount of vocation to the system.

If a department wouldn’t hire me because I went on strike to improve pay for all of us, that’s not a department I want to work in. The culture there would already be telling me everything I need to know.

How can anyone listen to this and conclude anything other than it Wes who is acting unreasonably. No increase in pay - BMA said we are willing to hear another offer. No offer on non-pay elements & last year non-pay elements not delivered. What choice do the BMA have?

I supported resident doctors in their fight for pay restoration. I support all workers willing to make a stand for better pay + conditions. A win for one sector makes a win elsewhere more likely. Join a union and get organised. United we stand. Divided we fall. Solidarity ✊

repost from Reddit. A Trust in the U.K. tonight, without any strikes taking place. @wesstreeting @ShaunLintern @SkyNews @LBCNews

Prof Sikorsky had no student loan debt, free accommodation as an FY, a final salary pension and started medicine when MIs were treated with bed rest. Perhaps if him and his colleagues had stood up against the degradation of the profession, they wouldn’t be a need for strikes

The BMA called the ballot because the Labour government were going back on their promises to implement FPR. We use RPI because government uses RPI in charging student loan interest If Wes kept his promises, negotiated in good faith, there wouldn't be a need for strikes at all

Why did Wes refuse to negotiate in May when RDC invited him to talks, prior to any ballot? Why did he wait til strikes were looming? 2008 is when austerity started, and RPI is perfectly valid when govt uses RPI+3% as measure annual interest on doctors astronomical student debts

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

This is straight from the Tory playbook Refuse to negotiate then say we will only negotiate (but not on pay) if you call off your strikes over pay. The only person to blame for these strikes is @wesstreeting

More misleading commentary on @nhs_pensions The current liability of 457bn was was in fact 841bn in only 2022 👇 In other news the pension scheme will return a *SURPLUS* of 6bn to treasury this year *alone*

Whilst I do agree with the Leng review. It is terrible for those PAs who have been mislead by government, their universities and the NHS. No doubt those “leaders” involved will retire on their final salary pensions whilst many PAs are left out of pocket.

From someone who helped create this mess, this smug deflection is almost impressive. The usual ill-informed take from the permanently comfortable — baffled that doctors are angry while watching their profession gutted in real time. “Different groups celebrated” — sure.…

This is the fundamental problem with Scottish politics (which is why I generally stay out of it). It just shouting it “Westminsters fault” or “it’s the SNP fault” Whilst no one is held accountable and ultimately the Scottish people suffer.

It's clear that @NHSE_WTE (formally HEE) now do not think that PAs should substitute for Doctors But that wasn't always the case In a document published by HEE titled "Broadening the foundation Programme" the words substitute/substitution are used 30 times Let's dive in 1/n

So let me get this straight. No jobs for graduating nurses, no jobs for graduating midwives, no jobs for newly qualified doctors. Either find the money for jobs, or shut the courses. Stop selling young professionals lies of a career in the NHS. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

I don’t know maybe the SNP could focus on governing - you know like the collapsing NHS, education system, drug deaths etc

I really enjoyed EM - seriously considering as a career choice But honestly when RCEM does stuff like this who would choose this path.

I bet there is a sizable proportion of the electorate over 18 who couldn't answer all of these. FWIW, I reckon i could have answered all of these questions at 16. If anything I was more politically engaged at 16 then I am now.
