Being in a trade union isn’t really like just having insurance (although you do get that for work issues), it’s much more like joining a gym; you’re not going to get fitter just by paying, you need to put some effort in too in order to get those benefits!

@ruhi_hi I’m an organising and fighting trade unionist working for a trade union on a journey to become an organising and fighting union. Is it perfect? No. Are there frustrations? Plenty. But I get to work in line with my values and with a profession I respect and want to succeed.

The Government has suggested a pay uplift of just 2.5% for doctors next year, well below inflation. With resident doctors set to strike next month over pay and jobs, it is “frankly indefensible that yet another Government is once again suggesting real-terms pay cut for

A 2% real terms pay cut is the real slap in the face. Let alone the tone deaf paragraphs on resident doctors’ employment prospects. There appears to be very little grasp of why we are actively haemorrhaging doctors from the NHS.
The Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk has published its written evidence to the #DDRB. Please find it here: https://t.co/9zcAkfZrMe

Government proposes 2.5% for 2026/27. Lower than all measures of inflation. There’s no two ways about it; it’s a pay cut. Can’t see doctors accepting this. We must now build sustainable workplace power through organising in every medical workplace.✊🏼

@DrHuw @PaulaMc007 @AliveLeder @NHSE_WTE I cannot think of one example where campaigning by individuals on single issues has genuinely resulted in better outcomes. Not infrequently, the wrong issue at system level is addressed (see Martha's + Jess' Rules). Or the intervention isn't cost effective. Or there /

I’m allowed to share an anonymised WhatsApp post. Nothing more to say, except I’m with you, resident doctor colleagues and other doctors working in the NHS. Enough is enough.

Shocking new figures from the RCN show growing racist abuse against nurses. We stand in solidarity with affected nurses and colleagues across the NHS, and call for an end to the escalating use of hostile language and anti-migrant rhetoric. Read more:

Racism towards nurses has hit a 'crisis point' in the UK. That's the stark warning from the nursing and midwifery regulator. It comes as a report from the Nurses' Union finds that incidents of racism have increased by 55% in the last three years. But with many too scared to

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
Health and Social Secretary @wesstreeting: “My message to resident doctors: the fewer doctors who go on strike, the more specialty jobs I can afford to create.”

@wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk I see you’ve deleted the clip we commented on- whereby you admitted withholding doctor jobs due to strikes - at the detriment of waiting lists, patients and the health service - is the current line, would love to hear you rectify this eregious error

@CMO_England with respect- am not sure it says anything that a lot of Residents have been saying for years. Why is this vital work being kicked to the long grass? Is there any timelines to implementation? The greyness around IMGs is not helpful either for many people & their future.

Medical Training Review Phase 1: Diagnostic Report has dropped. Lots to digest. My own suspicion is that they are going to go large with a build-a-career, competency based model. https://t.co/4LkoiZmmiB

https://t.co/TTAoxWmpQc The MTR essentially tells us what we already know: medical training isn't working. What it doesn't tell us is how the government are going to fix it? Without that, it's just another report which will change nothing.

Training bottlenecks are leaving many resident doctors without a job and must be “urgently” tackled as part of an overhaul of postgraduate medical training, a landmark NHS review recommends.1...
