I struggle to understand how there isn’t widespread alarm and panic in medical leadership about the hardships young doctors face and their bleak future. I cannot believe the lack of discussion and planning around neighbourhoods and postgraduate medical education reforms over the

Clearly there is a nursing requirement for patients in plastic surgery. Mobility, hygiene, wound healing, graft viability, dressings (type/size/application etc!!), patient education, and patient advocacy all of which become increasingly important with increasing patient
Consultant Nurse Kate wants to leave the NHS because she lacks a registrar to supervise today: they’re busy with the trauma list at the main hospital! Tough day, Kate? 🙄

This is why Resident doctors in England are taking a stand against the Government - it’s time to pay us what we're worth. Support us on the picket lines 📢 25 to 30 July #PayRestoration #DoctorsStrike

Doctors currently earn ÂŁ18.62 an hour, they are asking for ÂŁ22.67 an hour. Their assistants get paid ÂŁ24.45 an hour. How can @wesstreeting defend paying doctors less than their assistants?

As BMA Deputy Chair @ERunswickBMA rightly says, moving a fully qualified doctor from £18.62/hr to £22.67/hr is entirely reasonable; especially over a few years. These doctors make critical decisions every single day. But @wesstreeting doesn’t think they’re worth even that.

A doctor caring for you at 7pm in A&E earns just £18.62/hr They’re asking to move to £22.67/hr (not even all at once) to undo years of pay erosion. @wesstreeting could stop the strikes by offering a credible path to restore drs pay. The choice is his. https://t.co/Z79rtEhfmh

A dr on TikTok posted her payslip saying she earned £2.5k after tax and the comments?? One said she’s being greedy and another said £2.5k is a lot of money.

It's always weird to see these bizarre claims that the committee is "hard left" or "corbynistas". This is a wave of young people aged typically between 23-35 who see Broken Britain for what it is. Raising rent, raising house prices, raising energy prices, raising leisure

Though the BMA’s leaders are Corbynites, its members just want the pay and treatment they feel they deserve

Doctors: Can you fix 15 years of pay erosion so we can keep treating patients? Wes: No. But I’ll improve your “working conditions.” You mean the hospitals where: – There are no desks or rest spaces – Staff rooms are storage closets – No training jobs after years of exams – PAs

The results are in: we have a clear mandate to strike. More than 90% of you who voted in our ballot, voted YES. You’ve made it clear: enough is enough. Our fight for full #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England continues.

I think £32k is a terrible salary in 2024. It shows how wages have stagnated for over a decade, economic growth has been poor, and prices continue to soar. We’ve be conditioned to think anything above £30k is a good salary, it simply is not
Why are people so pressed about me saying ÂŁ32k isn't a terrible wage. Yes doctors deserve more for the length of training, skill and stress of the job BUT my point was you can live on ÂŁ32k, and many families live on a lot less.

🧵I’m reading lots of very well constructed threads by women trying to explain to men why crashing any conversation about male violence against women with “#NOTALLMEN” is unhelpful and exhausting… Trouble is, the kind of guys who leap in with #notallmen (and I used to be one)…

26-year-old Kyle Clifford is being hunted by police. It’s a fast moving situation and there’s a lot we don’t know. But there is one thing that we DO know. And it’s depressingly, devastatingly familiar. Three woman are dead. They were killed in their home. A mum, she was 61, and
