Now that the largest failed quango @NHSEngland has been abolished, it is time to disband another failed government extension, the @gmcuk . The public and the medical profession deserve a regulator that is fit for purpose & specific for qualified Doctors only.

Some of the British public feel so *entitled* to the labour of doctors that their idea of how to retain them in the NHS isn't to incentivise them, but to legally enslave them & criminalise them if any try to advocate for their profession and pay. Truly delusional. UK is cooked.
@DrHuw We could change the law and ban the NHS from taking industrial action. Add in a ten in prison for agitators and the removal of pensions on top. Leave the country if leave the union. You can be replaced, just like driverless trains are a reality…doctors are not untouchable.

Why yes, Bank of Scotland. This is most DEFINITELY a scam - sadly it's a *mandatory* scam; a protection racket. Credit to one 'DrBatmannn' on medreddit!

Not even that: FPR is significantly lower than a competitive, western market rate. And if the NHS can't afford even this discount rate? This is not doctors' problem. .
To hear Polly against resident doctor IA is disappointing. If her argument is right, the NHS cannot afford doctors at competitive, western market rates. Are we permanently first-tier education and second-tier recompensed? We decide.

Add @RCPhysicians to the 'to be destroyed' list immediately underneath the GMC. It's had so many chances to admit and atone for its unabashed lies and corruption of the last few years, and instead has doubled down on its cronyism and betrayal of the profession. An utter disgrace.
About time @RCPhysicians came tumbling down. Disgraceful actions against a true advocate for patients and the profession.

I was being facetious but @BMA_James_Steen has spelt it out just in case for those who find arithmetic stressful:.
If we want to talk turnouts and votes…. Labour took 33.7% on a 59.8% turnout at the general election last year. That’s just 20.15% of the electorate voting Labour. Mr Streeting took 33.4% on a 60.2% turnout. That’s just 20.11% of the Ilford North electorate voting for him.

Resident doctors' ballot turnout: 55%.Resident doctors' pro-strike vote share: 90%. UK General Election turnout 2024: 59.7%.UK General Election Labour vote share 2024: 33.7%. If only there was some mathematical way we could have a serious discussion about who voted for what. .
Decisions I have taken mean that Resident Doctors have had a 28.9% pay increase covering the last three years. These are not grounds for strike action. And most BMA resident doctors didn’t vote to strike. I will be meeting the BMA today.

It's about time that all the Royal Colleges (and obviously BMA) stood up and said a flat-out 'NO' to this. Not 'we have reservations' or 'concerns'. Just 'NO', we refuse to engage with this de-professionalisation.
I can't begin to wrap my head around the implications of this statement. Fundamentally misunderstands:.- intimate connection between clinical decision making and task.- how professionals are trained.- what professionals DO.- what regulators do (regulate professionals!)

Shift work and EWTD has concentrated far more work onto a smaller number of doctors at any given time. Genuinely think there would be far less tired doctors giving better care with more teaching & learning space and rest time per shift if contract hours could be longer.

100% agree. I would also point out that, depending on rotas and staffing hours, less contractual hours/week and shorter shifts can counterproductively increase work intensity on shift (same work to do, fewer doctors on shift at any time to do it). Balance point needed.
@timricketts_ Longer shifts are actually safer. Multiple handovers create more risk than being tired. We need an evidence based approach. Which EWTD is manifestly not.

Once again, NHS consultants topping the leaderboard of 'worst enemies of doctors in the UK' and not just facilitating, but actively promulgating the destruction of medicine and abuse of residents all in service of their own local, short term goals and comfort.
Consultants at UH Plymouth are forcing residents to create rota to prescribe for a PA. How about the feckless shits supervise their own PAs?.
