Busy news day yesterday with GMU, lunch and evening news covering cross border reimbursement scheme. Great for some but a sticking plaster won't hold our health service together! BMA Northern Ireland

ED bedwaits are the manifestation of decades of underinvestment and deprioritisation of health and vital social care services and the beating heart - its staff. Now we're left totally broken. Mike Nesbitt you need to act now. Not in September as you've suggested. BMA Northern Ireland

A new treasurer and deputy chair of The BMA representative body have also been elected by the association's members. GP Peter Holden becomes treasurer, and Clodagh Corrigan is the new deputy chair of RB👏 bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

Saving money by targeting disabled people was an abhorrent tactic. PIP gives me the freedom and ability to work, contribute to the economy and hopefully people's health. Disability is not a choice. Don't punish me for it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

GPs in NI make it clear to Mike Nesbitt that imposing a grossly subpar contract will put the nail in the coffin of barely breathing practices. Make your voices heard! Vote yes for collective action BMA Northern Ireland

The GMC has failed. They have argued in court they have neither a statutory duty to protect the public nor a legal duty of care towards the doctors they investigate. Join The BMA alternative register to help us create a compassionate & effective regulator shorturl.at/oq9F2

If you can't see it, you can't be it Without accepting and normalising differences of ability we will lose valuable insights, perspectives and unique skills. #DisabilityPrideMonth

That time of year again where I pay to work, subsidise the private healthcare of the GMC staff and maintain our dysfunctional regulator. Join The BMA register and help influence reform. shorturl.at/oq9F2

The BMA is aware of a number of social media posts and queries about motions passed at ARM, relating to the crisis in Gaza. Some information being shared is incorrect, so we've released a statement to provide clarity. Read it here: bma.org.uk/what-we-do/wor…

Regttable to lose any member. Very regrettable that an 84yo who did not suffer pay erosion and retired on a golden pension should choose to leave over action to protect the future viability of his profession. The BMA Resident Doctors shorturl.at/VaGkn

.Resident Doctors asked Wes Streeting in May for talks, and he ignored them until after they balloted for strikes Then he had the audacity to lie about them “refusing to meet” Now he’s doing the same to BMA Consultants So who’s the unreasonable negotiating partner here?!

The #LengReview has published. It doesn't go far enough but it's a start. Now we need to see if devolved health ministers will act on the identified patient safety risks or do our patients not matter? Mike Nesbitt The BMA BMA Northern Ireland tinyurl.com/46zhdf56

Thank you Wes, this is progress. Im sure it wont pacify all voices on this (you never can), but there are very many important concessions i.e. name (assistants) & appearance, and major restrictions on seeing undifferentiated patients. I know you want less top down control from
