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 👇.

It's crazy how the media cares more about billionaires leaving the country rather than the exodus of doctors and nurses. The priorities are completely upside down.

Mr Streeting had no response that the demand from doctors is to only be paid 22.67£/hr. That too, it doesn't have to be all in one go. He could be in the room negotiating a path to full pay restoration right now. The public are on doctors' side.
That doctor you saw at 7pm on a Friday in hospital?. They were paid £18.62/hr; for CPR, giving critical treatments, making life or death decisions for your loved ones. They’re asking for £22.67/hr. A bargain for a fully qualified dr. @wesstreeting thinks that’s unreasonable.

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.
