Due to personal commitments including surgical exams, I will sadly not be seeking re-election onto the UKRDC. I've dedicated my life to the BMA over the past two years and unfortunately over the next year I won't have the capacity to do the role justice. 1/6

“We find ourselves in an absurd situation.” @callumjparr has spoken to BBC News on why resident doctors in England are left with no choice but strike action

Yesterday, we met with @wesstreeting We’ve not been presented with a credible offer to restore our pay or fix the specialty training crisis in England. We’ve been left with no choice but to return to the picket lines https://t.co/x6dUubNcEn #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis

The Government are gearing up for another real terms pay cut for doctors (with a recommendation of just 2.5%). When will Wes Streeting get serious about averting strikes and end this dispute? https://t.co/oxCBk6hg6k

The NHS annual budget is ~ £200 billion Let me show you and explain how £40 billion a year of it is being wasted 🧵 👇🏽

"No credible Government offer was put forward despite months of talking." Read @BMAResidents chair @fletchjack's letter to @wesstreeting explaining why resident doctors have announced strike action in November.👇

Saying pay is not on the table in a pay dispute is not negotiating. Fixing the training job crisis is your job, it’s embarrassing that a dispute even had to be opened. Just increase doctors’ pay to the point where a new doctor is only paid a little less than an assistant role 🙏🏻

It is NOT a pay rise. It is a request for pay restoration. @BMALondon @BMA_James_Steen

🚨 Strike action confirmed 🚨 Resident doctors in England will walk out 7am, 14–19 Nov. We don’t take this step lightly but pay restoration and jobs can’t wait. 🔗 https://t.co/x6dUubNcEn #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis

Time for @wesstreeting to stop wasting the BMA's time. If these strikes, and a further round in December, go ahead, that's on him. Turning up to rule out any talks on pay isn't negotiation. It's a repeat of the failed tactics of the previous government.

"We don't have enough doctors and yet thousands of doctors are unemployed." Dr Arjan Singh explains the paradox of the NHS workforce in England and why 97% of FY1 doctors balloted for strike action to end the unemployment crisis.

If you’re A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got straight A*s / As, went to medical school and started on £15/hour.

Yesterday we met with @wesstreeting We have agreed a window for negotiations and are working to ensure strike action does not need to be repeated. A credible offer to restore our pay and value can end this dispute. https://t.co/GF47xIyXSb #PayRestoration

Love it when politicians suggest these great novel ideas like a deal over a number of years/ a “multi year pay round”

A third of resident doctors are facing unemployment next month. We’re bringing the issue of insufficient training places and job insecurity into our ongoing #PayRestoration dispute with the Government. Read our statement in full:

I’m supporting @TheBMA Because trying to fix the NHS without improving pay & conditions for health/social care workers is like trying to refill a bath without the plug Recruitment, retention, burnout - this is the crisis Resident doctors deserve better. So does every patient
