The NHS is paying non doctors £90 per hour or £1000 per shift to replace doctors… to deliver far worse care and outcomes Leading doctors have enabled this and are a key part of the problem They are usually just too spineless or wanting their ‘seat at the table’ and next big
Bookmark this for the next time someone calls @BMAResidents greedy or asks how @wesstreeting can afford #fullpayrestoration Post this without comment Dr replacements are paid £700 -1000 per DAY locum £50- 67k permanent jobs Drs deserve £23 per hour @Melissa_S_Ryan

Starmer is one of the most extreme examples of people drained from their personality and humanity by the rule of Zionism and big money. He doesn't even qualify as a person anymore - and most of Labour are the same: empty sacks of former human beings, operated by BlackRock and
Never forget that @Keir_Starmer threatened to sack colleagues if they supported a ceasefire & a halt to the mass slaughter of Palestinian men, women & babies. Never forget that he did this not long after supporting a blockade that eventually led to deliberately engineered famine

Brilliant from @parthaskar - made me laugh out loud!
The names of people who refused to accept that PAs were being used to replace doctors-and undermining training- and tried everything possible to undermine attempts to highlight this as well as the @RCPhysicians vote during EGM: Evans; Melville; Mcleod; Whitty; Powis The people

Turning GP into non-doctor run Urgent Care Centres. I wonder when enough of the public wake up to what is being forced on them?
To do this all appts will have to be free to be available to book same day. No follow up slots to book Pts who need review-they as well as pts calling for“non urgent/routine”stuff will have to all compete for same day appts- clinically urgent get priority https://t.co/9VR9UfoMCT

90% same day appts in GP reminds me of Blair on BBCQT & 24/48hr access appts of early 00s Wes turning GP into urgent care service. Where is continuity of care? Or prevention over sickness? Bringing back family dr? Breaking it more like Watch Trusts 18wk target die🤥 @BMA_GP
For the NHS, it’s another escalation in a destructive cycle brought about by an inexperienced health secretary, advised by people who want us to make the same mistakes they made 20 years ago. It’s time for a change.

Your GP isn’t ignoring you; they’re overwhelmed 🚨Fewer doctors 🚨More patients 🚨Endless online requests The NHS is at breaking point. @wesstreeting, act now before it’s too late. @sophia_edw28123 Thank you 🙏🏻 https://t.co/vvK4oL825T

@ClareGerada’s policy to let PAs work as defacto GPs was catastrophic. People died. It was such a poor decision that @lengreview and @rcgp reversed the policy almost entirely. That Labour rewarded her with a peerage tells you everything about @wesstreeting’s plans for the NHS.
I’m guessing a 28.9% pay rise and a government that is willing to work with resident doctors…

“Imagine if nobody wanted to come here, then we’d really be depressed about Britain as a nation” Broadcaster and journalist Mariella Frostrup says the UK’s asylum system is “shambolic” and the “dehumanising” language used around immigrants is “shocking” #bbcqt

Imagine a private organisation saying to their employees- we know we abuse you and have you in awful conditions and we are also monopolising and controlling your pay to keep it artificially low with a group of other providers (ie a cartel) We can either improve your conditions
Resident doctors strikes are completely unnecessary and irresponsible. My team and I have been talking to the BMA in good faith and are prepared to negotiate on jobs and conditions. They’ve had a 28.9% pay rise. We can’t go further now. But we can address jobs and conditions👇🏻

The NHS hanging by a thread is the fault of successive governments and policies over the last 30 years Granted - enabled by some doctors - some that are in House of Lords for example Don’t try to blackmail and emotionally manipulate the situation here Wes

More than 450 prominent Jewish figures around the world call on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over its “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza.

NHS failing upwards To further enable agendas with compliant folk
Huge congratulations to our former Chair and President Clare Gerada on becoming a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords. A lifelong College member and now a Baroness – but first and foremost a grassroots GP who continues to deliver exceptional care to your patients and to fight

Is the Embassy of Israel “deeply concerned” about all the Palestinian football players in Gaza who have been killed by the Government of Israel?
The Embassy of Israel to the United Kingdom is deeply concerned by the hostility and incitement that led Maccabi Tel Aviv to withdraw their away ticket allocation for the match against Aston Villa. It is regrettable that extremists have turned football a sport meant to unite

Just so we are clear… A British doctor can fly to Israel, join the IOF, participate in genocide & MURDER children - & be welcomed back & allowed to practice with no consequence But a Bristish doctor who just SPEAKS OUT against genocide & the murder of kids gets arrested?! WTF
🚨 BREAKING: British-Palestinian NHS doctor, Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan (@doctor_rahmeh) was arrested this morning by British police to protect an apartheid, genocidal entity from accountability — just 3 days before her @the_mpts hearing, undermining her right to a fair trial. (@HCWsAC)

A MUST READ thread. The gov’s 10YP “skill escalator” to allow shortcuts to work as a doctor: 🚩NO GCSEs 🚩NO medical degree 🚩100% online learning HCA ➡️ NA ➡️ RN ➡️ ACP ➡️ Work as a doctor Practicing medicine without medical training?! Patients WILL die & we must push back!
Discussing the 'skill escalator' concept with Martin McKee (late of this parish). Mentioned in the 10YP. This suggests that anyone entering the NHS workforce can 'progress' through different roles/grades, limited only by their 'potential'. It has been touted as a partial 1/

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
