๐Ÿ‘‹ BBC News (UK) This โ€œnewsโ€ piece by Nick Triggle on @BMA_JuniorDocs strikes is one of the most unbalanced one-sided pieces of govmnt propaganda Iโ€™ve seen in a while. So much for โ€œimpartialityโ€ #TimDavie - littered with errors and bias bbc.co.uk/news/health-64โ€ฆ

I came across this. It is entirely untrue. Junior doctors who are IMGs are not at risk. JDC will not run strike action that puts IMGs at risk of visa issues. Actual advice here bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/โ€ฆ Please retweet to correct this outrageous nonsense.

If you're a junior doctor at work today and a member of the BMA or not a BMA member but not in another union, think of the long term; for yourself, your colleagues and the NHS itself. Go home, join the action. Stand together and we will win.

NHS consultant, last 5 years before retirement, think the consultant ballot doesn't matter to you? Think again! Invest 1 minute 54 before you make a very big mistake.
