I’ve been a Doctor 36yrs & I understand why Residents have resorted to strikes 20% less pay than Drs in 2008, £100k student debt, poor working conditions/job security, higher pension contributions, longer working life as pension after 67yrs I had it good & Karol had it better

The AoMRC has decided to publicly position itself against resident doctor strike action Whether this is within its remit is debatable but it is likely to go against the views of the members of the Royal Colleges it represents Nothing learned from the ill advised “devoid of

Other Royal Colleges are available. Would suggest that Members and Fellows who have had enough of the smoke and mirrors coming from this organisation find a new home. Deny them your membership fee and then see how they manage!

.Tom Dolphin🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ from The BMA: "All we're asking for is for our pay to be valued the same as it was in 2008. We're not worth any less than we were 17yrs ago, we're not working any less hard than we were 17yrs ago, so why are we missing a fifth of our pay?" Exactly. Solidarity

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.

Another ex-cathedra statement from the AoMRC. They rarely reflect the views of membership organisations. Sure someone has ensured a 🏅for themselves. Am I wrong? I’ll await the stampede of Royal College Presidents in support. In the meantime here is a clip of tumbleweed!

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

If your pay fell behind everyone else's by this much, would you strike? I support @BMA resident doctors, forced to take strike action this week.
