NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention. At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem. Let’s dig deeper:

Excellent news that 41 more junior doctors will be joining Royal Adelaide Hospital and QEH between August and November this year - including 23 doctors from the UK.

Pleased to be at Intensive Care Society 💙 presenting work from Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 Papworth Anaesthesia and Critical Care on how to improve inter-ICU transfer communication #SOA23

So disheartening to see this from a consultant in the department I’m currently training in. Thankfully all our other consultants (those actively involved in acute care for our patients, unlike Dr Johnson) have been so supportive of our decision and right to strike.

.Andrew Castle (of “I don’t know any neurosurgeons earning £28/h” fame) here simultaneously saying he values the work of doctors, AND we don’t deserve to be paid fairly. Getting tired of Andrew’s obvious passion for this subject but apparent inability to do any research. 1/n x.com/lbc/status/169…

Doctors have ‘saved’ the Government, Taxpayer & NHS, approx £10bn* since 2008 Doctors are asking for pay restoration, not a reimbursement of lost income The request amounts to £35 per head of population per year, about £2bn *If Doctors pay had increased in line with inflation

Extraordinary response with Secretary of State for Health: The NHS workforce can not be safely expanded by this group of associates with only 2 years of training “it comes to standing up to the unions” It’s now nakedly not about patient safety- it’s about breaking unions

Our pay is less than other professions, our OOH burden is greater and our progression is becoming more difficult. When we try to talk about it, we’re called elitist and asked to “be kind”. If people took the time to understand the situation, they might be kind themselves 14/14

The reaction of the UK Health Secretary on finding out that Physician’s Assistants are paid 35% more than the Physicians, and for less hours: Victoria Atkins

Booked a family holiday for Mar 24 in Jul 23. Spent months trying to contact the rota coord at the Trust I start at in Feb to organise leave. Told I needed to find swaps but not given contact details of other drs. It’s all become so stressful that we’ve cancelled the holiday.

My letter in The Times this morning about the urgent need for specialist training places as a higher priority than medical school expansion

Dismayed to see you sharing such a misleading & potentially deeply frightening video, Kim. If someone is in 'unspeakable pain' at the end of life, they should see a palliative care doctor like me - & I can promise you there is always something I can do for your pain. (1/n)

A national scandal is quietly unfolding in the NHS. 1000s of doctors are being blocked from becoming Consultants & GPs because the Government is restricting training spots. The public aren’t being told. Unemployed doctors while waiting lists soar is nothing short of madness.

Hi GMC. I'm not sure this is the best use of doctors' registration fees. I hope Mr Massey enjoyed catching up with his Conservative Party friends 🙄
