Nothing junior about leading an arrest team. Nothing junior about looking after the entire hospital overnight. Nothing junior about deliviring life-saving treatment. This is a welcome change, part of the cultural shift towards greater respect towards the profession.
🚨We have a new title: BMA Residents 🚨.A long time coming, and after much hard work, junior doctors will now be called Resident Doctors. This new title better reflects their huge range of skills and responsibilities. Read more about the change here 👇.

Doctors, other NHS staff and patients, we all deserve better. We all deserve a health secretary that gets around the table and negotiates. Doctors are asking to be paid 22.67£/hr and it doesn't need to be in one go. "The power to stop these strikes lies with the government."
‘What’s your message to patients whose operations will be delayed?’.‘What’s your message to other NHS staff who will be picking up the pieces?’. Health Secretary @wesstreeting believes striking doctors like LBC caller Shivam have questions to answer.
