My concern with MAPs in psychiatry is that they’ll be used to provide physical healthcare to psychiatric inpatients. And all that says is that psychiatric inpatients do not deserve physical healthcare from medically-trained doctors, perpetuating the lack of parity of esteem.

Following the disappointing pay announcement from Government today Dr Melissa Ryan 🦀 and Dr Ross Nieuwoudt have written to Wes Streeting. Resident doctors have been clear and consistent with their demands for #PayRestoration, our door remains open to negotiate that path.

Charge £600 to resident doctors in core psychiatry training for exam practice. A mandatory exam that they will also have to pay for (c. £1100 each attempt). Along with their annual pre-membership fees (c. £160 PA). I mean what the actual heck is Royal College of Psychiatrists thinking…

Great to talk to the Resident Doctors members working at Derbyshire Healthcare today about the pay campaign and ballot 🗳️ Lots of support for the campaign for #FullPayRestoration Resident Doctors should not STILL be over 20% down on real-terms pay compared to 2008

The ‘back in my day’ brigade need to pipe down. Grants for medical school, free hospital accommodation, CEAs, final salary pensions, jobs for life - just stop for one moment and think; you’ll soon realise you have no idea of the lot of residents now. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

“Back in my day” we were actually looked after by the system and (on the whole) by our senior colleagues. Of course, things were imperfect, but the carelessness about doctors that characterises the current NHS and the feelings of futility this has led to should trouble us all.

I sat on BMA council with Clare Gerada, I can't remember Clare saying a single thing I agreed with then and I still don't agree with her now. The government should fund the NHS via taxation, not Drs and nurses with pay erosion. I believe in the NHS but not stealth pay theft.

We have serious concerns about the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill for England and Wales and therefore cannot support it in its current form. Our patients are among the most vulnerable in society and need to be sufficiently protected. Briefing👇rcpsych.ac.uk/news-and-featu…
