Artificial bottlenecks. Manufactured crisis. Governments for years has pinned the blame on BMA for apparently veto’ing medical expansion despite the BMA not having any power (and also forgetting the point was lack of jobs post training). But here we have it from the horses

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

The Bitcoin CULTure has an undetected disease that has been spreading for too many years now, and I'm calling it: the "Core-Parrot" mind virus. Whatever some "trusted (ex)contributor" says, this virus makes you confidently cheerlead and repeat, without having expertise in

Also if there is a willingness to already put investment into other areas of resident doctor expenses (exam fees is quoted) Why can that funding not be directed into direct pay talks? That cannot be a fiscal decision and so must be a political one

Doctors are underpaid & face unreasonable difficulties to become the consultants and GPs we need Govt acknowledge both, enter talks with Drs After >2 months of talks, no proposal to show from Govt Drs frustrated pace too slow, call for action Govt threat to go even slower …

There have been months of talks. We’re on the precipice of another job cycle. Tens of thousands of doctors will be turned away. Doctors need jobs & patients need doctors. Waiting lists up, patients in corridors. We need changes now to recruit & value doctors, not in 2 years.

Why are doctors having to negotiate to increase the number of doctors this country trains to become the futre experts we need to look after us Especially with shortage of doctors we already have now If used as negotiation offer, does Government actually want this?

The 28.9% rise from this Government line is unequivocally false https://t.co/oovPAGqDzg How meaningful were these talks if after 2 months there is nothing to show for them? @BMAResidents happy to engage, but need willingess from Govt to meaningfully address issues being raised

@DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting Happy to keep negotiating but strikes had to be called after months of no movement. A multi year pay deal to FPR is the simplest way to end the pay dispute. The government must also move further and faster on fixing both jobs and pay. Doctor unemployment is a political choice.

"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.👇

Just had our first $1,000,000 month in Retail. I am the CEO of Portland Leather Goods. Within minutes my CMO @MacCoyMerkley called and said "When do you think we will get to our first $10,000,000 month?" He guessed two years. That is crazy. But I started doing the math...

🚨 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

As more doctors find themselves out of jobs - as roles earmarked for them- are now passed on to other professions? The more protests and angst you will hear. Most of the seniors who dismiss the angst? Do so from the comfort of their secured jobs, future & privilege. They would

Hospitals are crumbling, ceilings leaking and the government’s answer is more "gateway reviews." £15.9 billion just to fix the damage caused by years of neglect. Stop burying the NHS in paperwork. Fund it properly. Rebuild it publicly.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Great achievement by .@BMACymru and the RCN. Diolch to those who signed! Corridor care is not normal, it's a symptom of underinvestment and understaffing. We need Welsh Government and the Senedd to take action, corridor care is unacceptable 🏥

For the people saying an ACP is equivalent to an ST3. To be equivalent you need to have completed equivalent training, this includes medical school. Can you tell me what course is equivalent to a primary medical qualification? Ill wait. #AskForADoctor

2 things Just to give an understanding why people are anonymous When Consultants are worried about @gmcuk referrals - when simply flagging issues around potential safety Also, @cathjw is an absolute legend We need more of seniors like her #BeMoreCatherine

@ollieburtonmed @docib Exactly. It always reads to me as either ego stroking or an intentional dig at more junior doctors. It takes five years training to get to F1 level, but the amount of disrespect they get is absolutely insane.

@ollieburtonmed @docib This is also what I don't understand. Whenever equivalence is brought up ACPs are always compared to senior SHO level/junior reg level doctors, and I don't know why it takes doctors 8 or so years of pretty intense training to get there while ACPs can do it much faster.

Memory test time! Read this list once: Apple, Chair, Flower, River, Notebook, Coffee, Dog, Shoes, Cloud. Don’t look back—how many do you remember?

@docib I don't disagree, but with doctor unemployment skyrocketing and trainees themselves hating the way training is delivered I'm not sure expanding a non-doctor workforce is the only solution. 1/n

In 🇬🇧 healthcare, consultant should solely refer to people that are on the @gmcuk specialist register & that all doctors should have far more professional respect for both themselves & for what that means for patient care

@ferragamose @marion_mcnaught @Cartermill65675 @cathjw @ArcticSquirrel3 @parthaskar @DrLKVaughan @iDrSunny @DrSelvarajah @ShrillaB @sasbanerjee @doctor_oxford @ShivaniM_KC @Rezaidi @AbbieSBrooks @respirologist You can’t just skip steps. I have done something like 15 placements now, I still have to complete the last 4 before I can sit my finals. The exams are a necessary but not sufficient part of medical training
