Hey @BMAResidents where's my poll? I was looking forward to voting NO before work today. If I haven't got it yet, neither have regular members. NO time like the present! NO pay NO details NO employment guarantees NO thanks #FullPayRestoration @DoctorsVoteUK

You burnt any trust doctors initially had in you when you reneged on promises made in 2024. Plus, they’re bright and scientifically minded people; “trust me bro” ain’t gonna cut it. Provide clarity. Show your numbers. Show your workings out.

@SCynic1 Strike action has been shown to be safe and in many instances more efficient due to the cover of our most experienced doctors who are not striking What isn't acceptable is continued devaluing of an integral workforce and knock on effects

You were misled then by your ministers and advisers just as I suspected. We wanted reform. We offered reform. We wanted to know what more you thought would be helpful to see if there could be some mutual ground. We were also open about a multi year pay deal that would have

Amusing - we’ve seen govt try all sorts for them to be proven unequivocally wrong several times They said strike turnout was down, it’s up by 8% They said a poll of 200 was representative despite >30000 yes votes The person is out of touch & we’ll keep proving them wrong

[1/16] Deeply flawed and completely misleading modelling from Medifintech’s own @gdcuk Graham Crossley at @Quilter. Here's why the £125k pension headline is erroneous, misleading, and deeply flawed 👇

🔟 Bottom Line The UK doesn’t underpay doctors because of universal healthcare. It underpays them because: •it funds the system below peer norms •it relies on monopsony power •it suppresses wages to maintain political optics •it diverts money into overhead instead of

1️⃣ People claim low physician pay is “just how universal healthcare works.” It isn’t. The UK is a global outlier. Other public systems pay doctors far more and offer far better conditions. The UK’s choices—not universal healthcare—explain the collapse.

Gather round folks, I’m going to tell a very scary story. Make sure you have a torch and a blanket and someone to cuddle: I shall tell the tale of “THE WORST NIGHT SHIFT EVER”.

@ShaunLintern @wesstreeting Happy to pay tax, nowhere to hide on PAYE! Re: taper it's a perverse incentive & a government problem not ours. One issue though is that along with paying tax I expect my pay not to be eroded, also action needed on SPA time, OOH pay, burnout, we're not the unreasonable party.

Straight from the submission: “The increase in locally employed doctors would become concerning in a certain set of circumstances: either if significant numbers of doctors were feeling 'forced' into taking time out of training due to a lack of suitable opportunities or, if

A 2% real terms pay cut is the real slap in the face. Let alone the tone deaf paragraphs on resident doctors’ employment prospects. There appears to be very little grasp of why we are actively haemorrhaging doctors from the NHS.

The last resident doctor strike had more doctors striking than July 2023. You wouldn’t know it from the government’s spin and the media’s headlines. Doctors are standing together for full pay restoration and a safe NHS. The government must stop the rhetoric and move on pay.

You were saying @wesstreeting ? @DHSCgovuk @BMAResidents @TheBMA

Oh yes. I’m back.

@MiloKostusiak @trentconsultant Even then, they won’t talk about pay. We asked @wesstreeting to get a mandate to negotiate this on May 2nd. The ballot, the strike notices, all of this could have been avoided weeks ago. So much for “the power to stop these strikes lies squarely with the government and SoS”

.@BMAResidents asked @wesstreeting in May for talks, and he ignored them until after they balloted for strikes Then he had the audacity to lie about them “refusing to meet” Now he’s doing the same to @BMA_Consultants So who’s the unreasonable negotiating partner here?!

“We’ve never gone on strike” Okay, Robert… Circa. 1975:
