Well said. This is rough & ready but useful I think!

The majority of IPC rules in the NHS are purely power trip induced and no-one will tell me otherwise.

I paid off my undergraduate loans. I still support canceling student debt. You don’t need to personally benefit from something to know it’s the right thing to do.

A doctor caring for you at 7pm in A&E earns just £18.62/hr They’re asking to move to £22.67/hr (not even all at once) to undo years of pay erosion. @wesstreeting could stop the strikes by offering a credible path to restore drs pay. The choice is his. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I will never stop finding ‘well doctors earn overtime’ hilarious. As if getting paid for the hours we are scheduled to work is some kind of novel alien concept dressed up as a perk.

Doctors are not average. It is therefore irrelevant what the UK average salary is.

I moved house this month and am at my credit card and overdraft limits from the costs involved. On Monday I was over an hour late home because I was doing CPR on someone’s loved one. Doctors aren’t asking for an unreasonable salary. Just one that feels fair for the work we do.

Residents doctors vote to STRIKE! Today, doctors have voted against all odds to strike again. This is a direct result of the Government's failure to keep its promises on pay. Time for @wesstreeting to meet us around the negotiating table and agree a path to restoring our pay.

I hate it when the first email from a trust you're rotating to demands you "urgently" send them documents "as soon as possible". Tone, guys. This is the first time you've contacted me about a PLANNED rotation and you're already acting like my existence is a huge inconvenience.

As a new FY1, having just certified my very first death - on a very, very, long night shift - I made myself a cup of NHS tea. The nurse in charge subsequently threatened me with disciplinary action for ‘stealing’. As a new ICU Registrar in Aus, I was asked for my address - so…

Did you know that there is a doctor training job crisis in the NHS? In 2024, over 6000 doctors applied for internal medical training, with only 1698 training spaces for them. 1000s of doctors are being turned away from being allowed to train as medical specialists because of…

My dad told me when I was a kid that if you're going through life and it seems like everyone is being an asshole to you, you are likely the asshole.

🇬🇧🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🇬🇧 Country Girl Group REMEMBER MONDAY are set to represent the United Kingdom at the #Eurovision Song Contest this year! “The song is a stark change from Olly Alexander last year but the girls are sure to get the nation behind them.”

I find it deeply troubling how often mental health is overlooked as a genuine factor in tragedies like this. She lived in squalor, surrounded by rubbish—a clear, unmistakable sign of depression or diminished capacity. Yet, where were social services? How did they fail to notice…

The @DailyMailUK has realised that 11,757 NHS doctors are unable to get into training jobs because of the government restricting spaces. 1000s of doctors are desperate to specialise and reduce the NHS waiting lists, but are being stopped by @10DowningStreet. This is a scandal.

Sadly the public don’t see this. Newly qualified doctors given a randomly generated rank and asked to preference, when in reality, if their rank is low, they’re going where no one wants to go. Not acceptable and a disgusting way to treat some of our best and brightest.
