This is a key message for @BMA_Consultants and @BMA_SAS Don’t put your patients or your licenses to practice at risk by letting employers spread you too thin. They know they should be stopping elective work to keep patients safe, but they’re hoping you’ll risk it all for what?
Tomorrow morning, when it's you and patients, no matter what Wes, Jim or Tim say, there's no defence in following orders, it's just you vs safety, you vs patient harm, you vs the regulator and the law. Triage. Be safe. Move the patient to next Wednesday...
GP to kindly take the blame for the Resident Doctors strike
The GPs have lost support from a lot of people this week who were supporting them before. Now is not the time. It's selfish.
I know you are but what am I?
Striking doctors is an oxymoron. I feel totally betrayed by a once notorious noble profession.
No one tell WhatsApp Jim but today I’m on the shop floor drinking a Costa
That's very inspiring, Chris. What sort of champagne is your favourite? Are all doctors entitled to champagne? Are taxpayers's entitled to champagne, or is it just for doctors?
I’d love to know what your favourite champagne is too Lord Bethell ? @JimBethell Do I need to say more @drchriscarson ?

Apparently the plebs aren’t allowed champagne

No doctor today is worth less than they were 17 years ago. Watch @RossNieuwoudt correct some misconceptions around resident doctors pay in England 👇
Doctors DON’T have a final salary pension Doctors DON’T get their exams paid for Doctors DON’T get overtime Doctors DON’T get their equipment paid for Doctors DO pay for their own training Doctors DO pay for their own stationary Doctors DO earn less now than 2008 in real terms

Hey resident doctors, remember this: You owe the NHS nothing You owe the public nothing You owe the Trusts nothing You worked hard to become highly qualified and skilled professionals, it was all you You are owed a fair wage and NOT a pay cut! Same for consultants Strike hard
Hey @peterkyle remind me of the holidays, salary raises and expenses MPs get annually
Resident doctors "should get to work" and "bank" the 28.9 per cent pay offer and stop "wrecking the progress" the government has made, says secretary of state for science, innovation and technology @PeterKyle. @KaitBorsay | @CalumAM | #TimesRadio
If the country can’t afford doctors, it can’t afford the NHS. That’s not a problem for doctors to solve. All out 💪🏻 #BMA1948
Americans 🤷🏻
eating at home costing $60 with time and labor and eating outside costing $56.78. alright.
Well this is awkward. Hypocrites attack Hippocrates. #LabourInNameOnly
Keir Starmer: Resident doctors should break ranks with the BMA leadership. The industrial action that starts on Friday is in no one’s interests and medics should not follow their union down its dangerous and destructive route, he says. thetimes.com/article/3fdcd5…
I'm fed up with seeing journalist paid over £200+ per hour call Doctors greedy for asking for £22 per hour for saving lives. Without doctors we have no NHS. A win for doctors is a win for all. It's not about turning out eachother. We need solidarity. #JoinStrikeWin
Solidarity with @BMAResidents today! Your consultants have your backs! Strike hard for what is fair and what you are owed
