There really isnt any point taking notice of public opinion when they completely lack any understanding of what the job involves
Supposed to be max 48hrs and they get overtime for the 8 extra above contracted. I also found out yesterday that they get 1.5 or 2 x time in lieu for anything above 48 hours 🤯 The poor little princesses!
Merseyside Fire Brigades Union has launched an open letter in support of the BMA campaign. Please sign if not in the BMA; and everyone share widely! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
The general public are not active participants in the healthcare system, they are passive recipients. Regardless of their views on NHS doctors and their pay they will still be paying tax and using NHS services either way.
Public support which, along with a bus ticket, will get you on a bus....
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
Obviously the BMA aren't going to taking him up on the offer. They've been asking for talks since earlier this year with @wesstreeting but he only decides to finally arrange a meeting once strikes are announced.
The BMA has warned NHS England's plan for the level of coverage during a planned five-day strike would put patients at risk. BMA council deputy chair Dr Emma Runswick tells #R4Today 'strikes by doctors do not have to be risky'.
Fairly sure I'd prefer my MI to be prioritised over my 6 monthly clinic appointment if I were a patient. Farcical approach from NHSE and a clear example of why these non-medical managers need to be held accountable for their decisions
The conservative voter base, many of whom are pensioners, cannot fathom a world where others are given improved pay or working conditions How, practically speaking, will the 52% oppose the strikes? Will they refuse to get ill en masse? Public support doesnt pay the bills
Most Britons are now opposed to resident doctors going on strike over pay, as currently scheduled to take place from Friday Support: 34% (-5 from 27 May) Oppose: 52% (+4)
Add to the pile of evidence that the alphabet soup cosplaying as doctors needs to end Patients who are none the wiser about the proliferation of this ridiculous experiment are paying the price with their health and lives, innocently believing theyve seen a qualified doctor
Thankyou for this information. This is the same department that messed up my late husband’s treatment which resulted in his death. I had no idea they weren’t even doctors!
"doctors can't strike!!!! they're important!!!! we need them!!!" ok, so pay them.
I always love the morons who bang on about patriotism - in this case a pfp with Winston Churchill and Union Jacks - who cannot use the English language correctly Get back to school
what about nurses there debt is 70-80k too
Famous member of the House of Lords fails to show solidarity for less fortunate ex colleagues. So what?
"guy who doesn't have a real job fails to stand up for those who do"
🤷♂️ 54% of resident doctors have no job next month after they finish their 2nd yr in the NHS 38% of resident docs have no NHS job once they complete their specialisation & become consultant Threatening unemployment only works if it's not now the default borked NHS workforce plan
In Commons, @wesstreeting tells MPs he can't promise strike action won't lead to job cuts, including doctors. "If this strike action goes ahead with all of the costs, pain & misery that follows, it won’t just be patients that suffer, or indeed this Govt. It will be the BMA too.”
Resident doctors in England (aka junior doctors) last got pay rises as follows: - May 2025: 5.4% average for 2025/26, but they're striking now as it's seen as too low amid inflation. - Sep 2024: Accepted deal giving 8% average for 2024/25. - Jul 2023: 8.8% for 2023/24, plus…
