Thousands of Junior Doctors have already had their say on pay - make sure your voice is heard too by completing the survey before midnight on Sunday night surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BMA_JD_Pay_s…

At today’s emergency JDC meeting we voted to accelerate the timeline in the fight for pay restoration and have written to the Health Secretary Steve Barclay making it clear that failure to address this makes industrial action by junior doctors a very real prospect #payrestoration

There’s a mental health crisis affecting junior doctors. We are supporting you to know and implement your rights around mental health sickness absence and wellbeing.   Find our summary guidance enclosed: bma.org.uk/pay-and-contra… @BMA_JuniorDocs Sarah Hallett @mikejkemp Brendan Donnelly

Great news for trainees looking to move deanery, following work we have been heavily involved in throughout this session with COPMED and ATDG. You can now apply to IDT without needing an ‘approved’ reason #flexibility

It’s more important than ever to make sure your details are correct. A ballot that goes to the wrong place is a vote against industrial action - make sure you can have your say on pay restoration and IA. And if you aren’t a member, then join the BMA now!

Working closely with other stakeholders, especially trainee representative groups, is a critical part of what @BMA_JuniorDocs does to make change that benefits junior doctors happen. Really constructive meeting of the Multi-Specialty Working Group today #juniordoctors

When so much of what you help change and influence is in the background and goes 'unnoticed' by many, it's nice to see something that stands out as a major win #proud

An extremely unfortunate and disappointing situation for the 77 affected UK candidates, however RoyalCollegeObsGyn The BMA and @BMA_JuniorDocs have been working hard behind the scenes on a solution. More to follow

Shocking that this can still happen - it is essential that systems are put in place to prevent this happening again. There is no place or excuse for offensive, prejudiced or stereotyping questions.
