@B_Fernandes8 @ManUtd How can we forget ❤️❤️❤️

[Sangeet @sangaldoo]

Met someone today and realized you just can’t disregard a person just because they didn’t have a successful career. So many sharp, knowledgeable people nowhere close to their potential. Not because of lack of ability. But because life wasn’t kind to them.

[Muna @Munalozy]

One thing adulthood has taught me is that I am not above anything. Homelessness, death, no job, literally anything can happen. Hence, I must never be too quick to speak over situations I’ve never found myself in. No one is above anything, not even your good actions can save you from your fair share of trials.

Life is crazy. Tables turn. Always stay humble & be grateful. ✌

Another beautiful day without using sin, cos or tan

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

GP clinic full of patients with flu symptoms & not one wore a mask

If you’re seeing your GP & are coughing, sneezing etc…

please wear a mask

We have vulnerable patients in our waiting rooms & as HCP we’re also trying to protect ourselves from the ++volume of flu pts we see 🙏

[Small Waist, Pretty Face. @oddettem]

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

It saddens me greatly to echo this

As a doctor of 18 years I would not recommend medicine as a career for A-level students

Leave uni with £100K debt, competitive entry, rigorous exams, significant sacrifices

….for ⬆️% unemployment & replaced by those without a medical degree

[DoctorsVote @DoctorsVoteUK]

-Free accomodation.
-No tuition fees (loans now >£100k)
-No ACPs/PAs taking training opportunities
- Training jobs available
- Consultant jobs available
- Final salary pension

You had it good. The social contract is now broken.

Stop punching down.

[Roshan Rupra @RupraRoshan]

Let’s break this down properly. For resident doctors in England, that 28.9% headline isn’t Labour’s gift to doctors and it isn’t a windfall.

It’s three years of DDRB recommendations after a decade of cuts. Labour gave one 4% top-up for the strikes in 2024.

Even now, independent think-tanks say our pay is still below 2010 levels. We had a nice one off catch up, but we’re still 21% down in RPI.

DDRB is constrained by political instructions, and ministers chose not to restore doctors’ pay fully, even when independent evidence shows it’s still below 2010 levels.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies looked at pay since before the financial crisis. By the end of 2023:
•Real public-sector pay was about 1% lower than in 2007.
•Real private-sector pay was about 4% higher than in 2007.

So yes, the public sector has been squeezed. But it is not fair to say that everyone has taken the same hit. Resident doctors are by far, the worst hit.

But here’s the clincher: physician assistants who can’t even prescribe paracetamol start on £23.60 an hour (around 25% more than a new doctor) without overtime or unsocial hours, and with guaranteed pay progression.

Doctors have no guaranteed progression, most do not progress! UK grads are locked out of training to be a consultant, competing with >20k international medical graduates for a handful of jobs. We are stuck in limbo, and some of us are unemployed.

We’re only asking to be paid at least as much as the people who can’t sign the drug chart.

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

To repeat:

Flooding the system with lesser trained people - needing greater supervision- and thereby making the senior medics less efficient -contributes to lesser productivity.

Anyway.

[Fiyin @fiyinsiku]

1. In British healthcare, a person called a "Consultant" should ONLY be a doctor on the GMC Specialist Register and/or hospital appointed.
It would bring less confusion to patients and patient care.

2. Non-doctor "Consultants" cannot supervise residents doctors.

[Ryan Hendry @RyanTalksAutism]

GP's do not diagnose anyone as Autistic.

GP's do not diagnose anyone with ADHD.

Anyone claiming that one single GP visit can get you a diagnosis of either is lying to you.

Yes, I'm looking at you, Mr Farage.

[Liban @LibanLDN]

“Why argue with an Arsenal fan when you can just wait” is a top 10 quote of all time. They cooked.

[Morgan @utdscope]

THIS WASN’T A PENALTY??????

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

It isn’t elitist to be proud to be a doctor.

Don’t allow yourself to be gaslit to an extent where you aren’t proud of your hard earned degree.

I am a Doctor.
And very proud to be one.

[The NHS Whistleblower @ItsnotrightUK]

Doctors do not have a gold plated pension.

We contribute 12.5% of our income into it.

If our base pay was to grow at 4% per year for the next 44 years (doctor starts work at aged 24)

If we took the same 12.5% and put that money into a SMP 500 tracker we would have a pension pot of

Wait for it

£13 million

If we live another 20 years in retirement and draw down 4% a year we would leave our family with balance in our SIPP of £38.6 million

And that including drawing down £500k pa in year one of retirement with would also grow to £1.4m annual drawdown per year after 20 years.

Doctors dont have a gold plated pension. They subsidise the NHS pension.

[سهى @svha_abdl]

I studied medicine for five years and only truly understood the NHS after working in it. Wes Streeting studied history, has never worked a day in healthcare, nearly lost his seat — yet he’s now running our health system

It’s time the health secretary was a medical professional

[Emma @gmedemma]

‘Average salary’ this ‘good wage for the uk’ that I am not average!!! And neither is my job! I have three degrees and people die in front of me at my workplace! Stick your average salary!!

[Dr Alexander Deighton @AlexJDeighton]

Saw today that after 3 years working as a doctor, extra shifts, long weeks, the 9% of my salary that goes to student loan repayments hasn't made a dent and my student debt has grown by £15,000 😂

[Dr Sumi Manirajan @sumitriptan]

I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased.

Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees.

We are only asking for £23/hour.
