"The BBC coverage of rates paid to hospital consultants to cover gaps in rotas and shifts to help reduce waiting lists is disappointingly lacking in context and accuracy". BMA Consultants Co-chairs Helen Neary Shanu Datta respond to the BBC's "highly misleading" report that

New Secretary of State for health: “I really want to clear the huge NHS backlog by smashing out 40,000 extra procedures a week” Local NHS manager: “I have an idea, hear me out, how about we wipe out any semblance of goodwill amongst doctors who we need to do extra work?” 🤦🏻‍♂️

LNC chairs being called in to be told of 'just how serious our financial position is' up and down the country. Sounding pretty system wide. Message to trusts; "if you haven't got the money then you can't have the work". It's a *national* health service, not run on staff subsidy.

An employment tribunal has found Dr Susan Gilby faced constructive dismissal as a result of her whistleblowing. The Countess of Chester Hospital also destroyed key evidence in her case. We will continue to fight for doctors who find themselves in this terrible position, and

🚨We’ve heard that doctors affected by the MRCP error are being told they will not be able to progress their HST applications. Urgent advice: do not withdraw any application & continue applying if you are affected. If you are prevented from applying keep emails and screenshots.

Given that we specifically asked for BMA involvement in the Plymouth visit and repeatedly asked for details of the visit - this was NOT just an oversight.

Last year strike action delivered a reformed DDRB and pay rises between 6 and 19.6% but it’s only the beginning of the 3 year journey. Background on linked tweet 1/2

Morning! The Government response on the DDRB will be out very soon. Private sector pay is rising at roughly 6%. Inflation (RPI) is 3.2%. Here’s a table of how long pay restoration would take depending on pay increase given. 1/2

Last year’s deal was only the first step on the journey to Full Pay Restoration. It’s a shame Wes Streeting is forcing us into industrial action at a time when doctors and patients would rather he did his job and negotiated. I’ll be voting YES in the ballot!
