๐Ÿ“‰ The NHS 10-Year Plan offers just 1000 new training places โžก๏ธ But there are 20,000+ more applicants than places This isnโ€™t planning - this is negligence โš ๏ธItโ€™s putting the future of the NHS at risk This fight is about jobs AND pay - the future of the NHS depends on bothโœŠ

Thousands of doctors canโ€™t get into post-graduate training to become GPs and consultants Many face unemployment after years of study. ๐Ÿง  Psychiatry: 10,000 applicants. Fewer than 500 places ๐Ÿฅ GP: 5 applicants for every post Meanwhile, patients are waiting longer than ever

Imagine training in medicine for 8 years and attaching yourself to ยฃ100k of debt. When you finally reach the point of training to be a specialist, there is no job. Meanwhile specialist job vacancies are going unfilled. ๐Ÿคฏ A symptom of decades of failure in workforce planning.

But equally is there a โ€œprecedent in trade union historyโ€ for a 30% real-terms pay cut since 2008? Resident doctors have lost a lot. When you take that much from doctors, you lose them. Lose doctors, and patients lose care. Surely wanting back whatโ€™s been taken from you isnโ€™t

BMA strikes are unnecessary and unreasonable. There isnโ€™t a precedent in British trade union history for calling a strike after a 28.9% pay rise - let alone a five day strike. The NHS is hanging by a thread theyโ€™re threatening to pull.

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