So let’s get this right? You have… 🔸Failed to deliver last year’s deal 🔹Refused to talk with the RDC since May 🔸Pretended RDC didn’t want to talk 🔹Agreed to talk but not on pay 🔸Now wants strikes called off to talk having offered absolutely nothing?! We see through it!
Strikes are on
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
@wesstreeting The doctors aren't asking for much. Just pay them, and cancel their student loans if they stay in the NHS. It's what we patients want. Not what your private healthcare paymasters want, of course. But do the right thing for us, the patients!
Despite all the noise about student loans, Mr Streeting didn’t seriously raise it once in the negotiating room. Instead, he chose to brief the media. He could prevent these strikes today by paying doctors £22.67/hr. share.google/Lich7R7i6mwowq…

🚨 NEW: The BMA will go ahead with its resident doctor strikes beginning 7am on Friday, saying there is “no credible offer” on the table
Strikes could still be avoided if @wesstreeting were to make a credible offer Nothing proposed was sufficient to reverse the erosion of pay or conditions of doctors (conditions he’s called “crap”) There is a reason the @BMAResidents unanimously agreed strikes must go ahead
Health and Social Care Secretary @WesStreeting responds to the BMA confirming Resident Doctor strikes will go ahead on Friday 👇
This is a PAY dispute, but unfortunately the government has not come through with any credible offers on pay or concrete plans to address non-pay issues like rotational training. And ER reform has been deadlocked for months. Resident doctors deserve better. STRIKE HARD! 🦀🦀

Despite leaks to the media about student loan forgiveness & all sorts, no detailed offer was presented. @wesstreeting’s plan would still leave new doctors paid £18/hr while he continues to pay their assistants a starting salary of £22/hr. See you on the picket lines 🦀

GMC referrals carry a high risk of suicide for doctors. Abusing the important referral pathway is harmful. We need to call this out. Every single time.
This morning a senior PA lecturer has said he has reported me to the GMC for misinformation. I was also called a troll. Happy to correct any misinformation but he wasn’t able to specify. Instead he deleted his FB account. I’m a dr concerned about pt safety. That’s it.
Feeling very let down by scabbing registrars this week. Not striking is bad enough put picking up extra locum nights??? Have some shame pls
Know your rights and strike HARD!!
It seems that either @UHSFT don’t know the law or are trying to trick doctors out of their right to strike. Any resident doctor in England with BMA membership or no union membership can strike. You do not need to “register” with the BMA. Strike hard.
The cost of progressing at minimum ST1 to ST6 in Emergency Medicine training in the UK is £7759, at current prices without price increases made up of mandatory indemnity, mandatory exams, mandatory portfolio membership, mandatory GMC fee. Not included is optional BMA.
my body would lock and i’ll have to spend the rest of my life as a table
it takes insane core strength to do this
Here's a crazy thought: invest actual money into making a better service so you don't have to pay for the tragedies a poorly funded service creates

At some point I'm gonna have to do a thread on Korean skincare whilst on the picket line - Mama Shin says wear sunscreen and big hat!!!
I'm on month 2 of trying the korean skincare routine. Oh my fucking god guys.
Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday. This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days. For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it. But alongside it…
Meanwhile in the UK... On my AO Advanced course in Toronto, I remember the surprise when I told one of the final year resident applying for their trauma fellowship how I was post grad year 10...with a couple more years still to go 😂
There is no reason for 90% of residents to do fellowships. Most of you are not going to do super complex stuff. Residencies need to do better in training ready, competent surgeons to enter practice. You can learn a lot in 5 years. @OrthoCurryMD @FixnBones
Trusts need to run as is there will be no resident doctors. Why? Because it's safer to prepare for this than to assume we will all be there. They don't want to cancel elective lists because it'll un-beautify @wesstreeting's NHS numbers. They are risking safety for politics.…
We've written to NHS England with concerns about inadequate planning ahead of possible strike action later this week. Attempts to run non-urgent services with fewer doctors risk patient safety. It's imperative that Trusts postpone work to protect urgent and emergency care.
