As an NHS doctor I resent this deeply Why are my mandatory GMC fees being used to pay for private health care for GMC employees?! I don’t even have private healthcare myself! **£642,000 spent on 1066 staff** ‼️ I do NOT give consent for my fees to be used in this way! 🤬
In 2023, @gmcuk awarded a four-year £2.8 million contract for private medical insurance (£700k per year) 💰 The tender documents show the actual spend on private medical insurance in 2022-23 was £642k for 1066 staff This is equivalent to 3690 x FY1 fees or 2006 x PA fees

Two years ago, Mo, a Consultant Surgeon at @uhbtrust, returned to surgery after becoming paralysed. ‘It was only possible due to amazing support from @uhbtrust, the NHS and colleagues.’ Mo now uses a wheelchair allowing him to continue his beloved job. #UKDisabilityHistoryMonth
