Are you a resident thinking about taking a locum shift on a strike day? Why risk actively undermining the strike, when you could just wait for your back pay from Wes’ pay award (such as it is) to arrive in August? 😇

Anybody know of any other profession where their assistants out-earn them? Welcome to UK medicine ....

It’s worth noting consultants have written to the secretary of state asking for a meeting too, we’ve been completely ignored without even a reply so far.

Physician Associates are being renamed to Physician Assistants because the public was confused about their role. But here’s what’s truly confusing: A physician assistant now starts on a salary that’s nearly £10,000 more than a fully qualified doctor. Read that again. Doctors

I can not understand the need to reconfigure GPs through any other lens than achieving a specific Doctor:Patient ratio. Access. Continuity. Care.

If a department wouldn’t hire me because I went on strike to improve pay for all of us, that’s not a department I want to work in. The culture there would already be telling me everything I need to know.

This just shows how badly doctors are treated by the NHS The health secretary generally believes that covering cost of mandatory feee to do your job, a discount on shit NHS food and a promise to look into you not being unemployed is a good deal.

The free food Wes Streeting is promising Resident Doctors.

Chair of BMA West Midlands Resident Doctor Committee Dr Peter Fahey says the promised ‘journey’ towards #PayRestoration is happening at ‘a snail’s pace’. He supports a multi-year pay deal but says it would take 20 years to restore pay at the rate the government’s offer represents.

BMA West Midlands Resident Doctor Committee Dr Peter Fahey FY2 doctor Dr Ben Cowdry 🦀 says many colleagues fear they will be without a job come August because of the lack of specialty training roles.

No doctor today is worth less than they were 17 years ago. Watch Dr Ross Nieuwoudt correct some misconceptions around resident doctors pay in England 👇

Don’t question the mandate of the BMA when your own constituents came within a whisker of removing you. To see a Labour minister asking resident doctors to break their own picket lines is shameful. I can assure you no postal worker will cross those hospital picket lines.

Massive picket by ⁦Resident Doctors⁩ successfully completed on Westminster Bridge. Resident doctors deserve fair pay.

'Even if our pay was restored we would still be paid less than the Physician Assistants with their two year degree ' BMA Resident Doctors Committee Co-chair, Dr Ross Nieuwoudt told #BBCBreakfast his members feel 'a little bit tricked' by Health Secretary Wes Streeting as they

I’m supporting The BMA Because trying to fix the NHS without improving pay & conditions for health/social care workers is like trying to refill a bath without the plug Recruitment, retention, burnout - this is the crisis Resident doctors deserve better. So does every patient

BBC Breakfast Absolutely crazy statistic Paying Drs a mere £23/hr would end these strikes. It's a bargain for Wes Streeting

It’s not the BMA “undermining the trade union movement”. It’s a Labour Prime Minister, writing in the Murdoch press, urging junior doctors to break with their union leadership. That’s a direct attack on trade unionism. Solidarity with The BMA and junior doctors on strike.

It was great to talk to Jeremy Corbyn yesterday about pay restoration and our concerns regarding doctor replacement with physician assistants. He was concerned about the taskification of healthcare. Also struggled to understand why assistants were paid more than doctors

Post Leng it’s clear the associate project always was as evidence free as it was illogical What needs answering now is why the Colleges & universities were so happy to champion a project that destroyed professional standards & jeopardised patient safety? I want accountability
