Junior Doctors are having to undertake a full walkout for 96 hours starting on Tuesday 11th April.
If you want (and are able) to support Junior Doctors earning as little as £14/hr in taking this action please consider contributing to the BMA Strike Fund.

Consultants have lost over a third of their pay in real terms and they are not worth a penny less.
They put their lives at risk during the pandemic, yet are rewarded with further pay cuts.

Leading a ward round is not the role of a PA.
How can someone who can't prescribe or order x-rays be in charge of patient care?
We are lowering standards in patient care and medical education if a job description like this exists.
How can this be justified
@gloshospitals

PAs are being paid more than doctors to supervise and teach doctors while eventually leading ward rounds.

MAPs don't have a medical degree and do not have the extensive training that doctors do, yet are taking over the role of a doctor.
Patients do not even know if they are seeing a doctor.

As doctors, we've sworn to save lives, not to endure financial hardship.
Strikes, pay cuts, and a glaring disregard for domestic talent—this government's strategy pushes doctors to the brink, then fills gaps with overseas recruits as if we're expendable.
Enough is enough.
Pay for highest paid/most skilled public sector workers (doctors, experienced teachers etc) has been cut drastically. Public sector diverging ever further from private sector. Papering over the cracks by bringing in more from abroad. Not sustainable.

The relentless expansion of PAs is causing patients serious harm.
The health system is being flooded with professionals with less training, skills and expertise.
Patients do not know the difference between doctors and PAs.
We must immediately pause recruitment of PAs.

Even the escalated rates are terrible.
How a PA is paid more than many doctors is beyond me.
They can't prescribe or order scans and yet earn double a first year doctor.
Do not locum on these strike dates.
Withdraw your labour.
Hold the line.
The BMA today met with
@BucksHealthcare
CMO
@AndrewMcLBHT
.
This table is accurate. It shows the current escalated rates
@BucksHealthcare
.
For the same shift that a PA is paid £480, doctors are paid accordingly:
CT2 - £480
FY2 - £320
FY1 - £280
Inexcusable.

The 21 hour wait here is ridiculous.
A mother of 2 tragically died waiting 7 hours in A&E.
What is it going to take to see proper investment in our healthcare system.
And no, 15 years of pay cuts is not an investment.

Unsafe, unprofessional and unjust.
Other healthcare professionals do excellent work but they can't simply "act as a junior doctor."
That too for more money!
The disrespect to doctors and patients in this country is astounding.
So here we have
@UHNM_NHS
offering AHP’s a higher hourly rate than they offer Junior Doctors to ‘act as a junior doctor’ over the upcoming strike action dates…

Doctors organised.
Doctors fought.
Doctors won.
More battles lie ahead.
UPDATE:
Yesterday management at Kettering reversed their controversial decision to cut rates for doctors in response to 100 doctors cancelling their shifts.
This was only possible due to the unity of grassroots doctors.

Junior Doctors across the country are organizing to bring the most comprehensive industrial action this profession has seen.

Can we do 3 for 3?
Update your details now and show the government we will continue to fight for fair pay.
#TellThemAgain
A re-ballot of junior doctors in England will take place from 7 February to 20 March to extend our mandate for strike action, and provide us with a mandate for action short of strike (ASOS).
Vote
❌ YES for strikes
❌ YES for ASOS

You have had plenty of time to sit down, talk to nurses and prevent these strikes.
Instead you used tax payers' money to take them to court.
It's regrettable we have a health secretary wanting to bully nurses rather than reward their hard work.

Ward walk at New Cross Hospital where I spoke to all doctors.
While new strike dates are annouced, we must still focus on winning our reballot.
Too many doctors still have not returned or received their ballot.
Please return ballots or message me to get you a new one!

If you don't pay doctors appropriately they will continue to leave.
If you want better patient care, you need to focus on retention.
We can't continue to lose doctors from already understaffed wards.
Improving pay and improving patient care goes hand in hand.

The consultant offer is actually a net loss for consultants.
The DDRB reform is worthless in its current format.
The government won't believe their luck if consultants accept such an offer.
#VoteNo
This is a disaster!
This deal:
▪️Ignores the longest-serving consultants (17.8% of total)
▪️Ignores new consultants
▪️Formalises our 40% pay losses
▪️Prevents DDRB from looking at historical pay cuts
▪️Lets managers control pay progression
▪️Divides the profession

Improving patient safety means acknowledging the added burden/risk PAs and AAs bring to doctors and the potential patient harm.
PAs and AAs are not doctors but continue to behave like ones.
Patients can't tell the difference anymore.
We must halt PA and AA recruitment.

What's unaffordable for the government is the continuous brain drain of doctors from this country.
Value doctors or lose them.
Pay restoration just makes sense.
Junior Doctors are asking for pay restoration, not a pay rise.
This will see pay restored from £14/hr to £19hr
No more excuses

15 months of dispute with this English government and still no credible offer for doctors.
Scottish doctors did not strike 1 day because the Scottish government value their doctors.
How this government thinks doctors are worth only 15£/hr is beyond me.

It's really simple
@RishiSunak

Value doctors at 20£/hr and doctors will end the strikes.
The public are seeing through your political game playing.
The public get it.
Paying doctors £5 more an hour to end the strikes is just common sense.
Stop playing games

Ex-GMC thinks we should be spending more money training doctors instead of PAs/AAs.
Doctors have been shouting from the rooftops for more training numbers.
Why is it you have to leave the GMC to finally find sense?
When those in the GMC come out of their ivory towers and are unable to use their private medical insurance they see the monsters they've created.

The year is 2023.
You can't send post. You can't travel by train. Now Hospitals are only for life-threatening emergencies.
The chronic underfunding of public services is coming to a head.
The government is solely responsible for this dystopia.

No doctor is worth over 26% less than a doctor 15 years ago.
No doctor is worth £14/hr.
As the reballots come through, let's tell the government again.
Lets tell them louder.
Full Pay Restoration.

15£/hr is just a little above the minimum wage.
Considering the amount of skills doctors have and the sacrifices doctors make, are we worth only 15£/hr?
Wishing all NHS staff a Happy New Year! In my opinion *ALL* undervalued, worst of all our junior doctors & the future of UK medicine- look at NYDs disgraceful rates of pay👇
RT if like me, you want govmnt's NY resolution to return to negs THEY abandoned to make a credible offer

As expected, bullying is pervasive within the UHB trust in the most recent report.
It's a shame the trust has been "reluctant" to accept this reality.
How can we provide safe care for patients, when we can't provide it for the doctors that work there?

If you hugely value the work of NHS consultants, why have you cut their pay by more than 20%?
The next step is to address the years of pay cuts consultants have received.
The medical profession remains united for fair pay.

UK doctors face a 'vicious cycle' of unmanageable workloads, dissatisfaction, and burnout, warns GMC report.
70% work beyond rostered hours, 42% feel unable to cope. Urgent action needed to retain doctors, improve patient safety, and prevent burnout.
Even the
@gmcuk
realise that the Government is on the ropes.
Time for

Junior Doctors put in countless hours of hard work, top grades, and endure costly training, yet they're faced with 100k in debt and just £14/hr.

They need a separate regulatory body.
