1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: So we need to talk about NHS pay. NEW shocking [post DDRB] data just in 4/1/24 👇 (SPOILER: Not "fair & reasonable") We need to fix pay/retention to fix waiting lists- increasingly clear next GE will won/lost on NHS Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT

Today, I and 10 consultant colleagues - on call GI bleeds, split site - received an email @NHSGGC :no renewal of parking permits and advice can pay for off-site private parking - retweet if you think @scotgov should pay for 5 years instead of paying @MathesonMichael mobile bill

@desmoulins1760 @LeeAndersonMP_ 😂 were they just on the hip replacement shelf? These made up stories just get better and better (as in more and more desperate)

The rise and fall of GP-ownership by big business ‘These digital-first GP services have previously been accused of peeling off a healthier, younger patient population’ Why hasn’t this approach made money🤔 There is not enough money in GP🤨 #GPCrisis https://t.co/xC2aq5vMuq

A phenomenal letter that expresses what so many doctors feel. How did we - and many dedicated current PAs - end up in this mess? Was it just because social media allowed mass sense checking that was previously only site based? Did rotating juniors see the problem well b4 seniors?

Hi @AoMRC You do not represent Drs The Royal Colleges have no place telling the @TheBMA - a democratically elected union - with a HUGE mandate what to do Publishing will be a grave mistake - You will do nothing but undermine the profession whilst uniting it more Think again

#FixPensions

@SteveBarclay @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson @FullFact @NHSBSA @nhs_pensions @BMA_Pensions 28/ The bottom line is that pay has been destroyed in the NHS (whatever) measure of inflation is used. Destroying pay = destroying the pensions they are based on. Stop gaslighting about pensions Steve RT if you want this/next government to #FixPay #FixPensions #RETENTION

#PhysicianAssociates In #InterventionalRadiology Why ? @BSIR_News @halliday_kath @RCRadiologists @AoMRC @TraineesBSIR @BMA_JuniorDocs @BMA_Consultants @cirsesociety ⁦@BSUroRad⁩ ⁦@BSGAR_UK⁩ @BSTImaging @BSSR_Site @theBSNR ⁦⁩⁦@AuntMinnieEuro ⁦

Excellent robust response to RCOphth plans to trial PAs in yet another speciality where registrars struggle to get surgical exposure due to service load. Assistants not associates required to help with non-surgical, non-clinical tasks.

Royal Colleges should not be myopic to the growing discontent of their members and give Doctors Votes on these decisions.

@Xeon4f145d96s1 @BMA_James_Steen We apologise to our staff for this email, which doesn’t live up to our values. Whilst it was sent to support patient safety in ED and to ensure appropriate continuity of care in the community, it isn’t an appropriate way to speak to our valued junior doctors or any colleague.

1/ Short 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC / Sky today, its not clear whether they dont understand the differences, or they are trying to mislead Please read all & share / RT

We simply perform a highly skilled job in which we manage risk, propose safe solutions, optimise resource allocation & fix/improve health so ppl can work, play & maximise QOL. It’s a job but the impact of in/correct decisions is huge and therefore should be well paid.

Royal Mail Group profits £758m Shareholder payout £400m Paying TWO CEOs £2m + Imposed 2% on loyal postal workers who kept the country connected during the pandemic. They’re using Swiss banks whilst our members use foodbanks. Ballot result Tuesday. RT if you back us.

This woman👌🏻 no kit! #bees

DISGRACEFUL: Example doctor👇 This is what @RishiSunak wants to do to your pension on Wednesday by removing indexation to the LTA (which may never return). (Yet another) stealth theft of your pension worth between £187k-£303k. Feeling underavlued? Pls RT if you agree scandalous
