Couldn’t agree more…

Great quote Richard Sloggett (fmr advisor Mr Hancock) on @lbc Tom Swarbrick on #NHSpensioncrisis "if you could fix this problem, this would be the biggest policy change that could make a difference to the waiting list...should be right at very top of the new PM's in-tray" RT

I had exactly this issue last year. Dr Tony Goldstone tweet 13 helped me sort it. £32000 tax bill reduced to £2000. TRS completely updated. Guess what? Same issue again this year. TRS figure £30K+ more than March payslip. So time consuming sorting it all out.

Pension taxation rules are already driving experienced doctors to retire early. The Chancellor must reconsider Autumn Statement plans that'll worsen the situation. Read more in the Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/pensions-retir…

Please read and act Steve Barclay. Our NHS deserves to be saved and our patients deserve better.

Excellent thread Dr Robert Laurenson All BMA Consultants should read this 🧵 and RT We all have your back 💪 #FullPayRestoration is essential for the NHS

11/ Sir Jeremy Hunt MP was quite right to call this a "national scandal" needing fixing "immediately". Lets be clear, ☝️doesnt do that (nor announced by Thérèse Coffey). RT if you need Mr. Hunt / Barclay to fix these issues on 15th March budget #FixNegativePIAs #TaxUnregistered

18/ However much gvmnt try to equate all the pay disputes in the NHS as being equal, they are not. Gvmnt need to act urgently to #FixPay and restore the DDRB to its original principles to ensure we dont return ro this mess again RT if you want Sir Jeremy Hunt MP Steve Barclay to act

One of our senior Neurosurgical Registrars has just resigned to do exactly this. Better pay, better work-life balance, working outside of medicine. One less Neurosurgeon. Another huge loss to the NHS.

A fabulous day at the #NMTS2023 Priveleged to be invited and spread the Neurotrauma word! Thanks for inviting me Anne Weaver

Thanks Caroline, we have already started using in Cheshire and Merseyside trauma network but planning a further large cohort to increase uptake! @CMMTN_ODN

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists. But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY. I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

Catherine and Christian have to be incredibly careful when revisiting James' wound site. With precision the expert pair of surgeons work together to prepare the skull for the new ceramic implant #TraumaRoomOne 🏥 Alder Hey 💙

A revolutionary talk from Catherine McMahon giving us a clear insight into the mind of the neurosurgical referral decision with #TBI.

Addendum to tweet 8 should read: So dropping their pretax income by £24,000 (dropping post tax income by give or take £12k), post tax AA charge decreased by £22.5k. So they are *MASSIVELY* better off by NOT WORKING every other weekend. Let that sink in Wes Streeting

Referred a patient with TBI on anticoagulation? Unclear when to restart? Then recruit to the RESTART-tICrH study! Randomising to 1 and 4 weeks will help guide future management on the optimal time point to restart this medication after TBI. For more info restart-trial.org.uk
