Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today

Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt

RT to support them & ask government to pay them ALL fairly #PayRestoration

The GP workforce figures are out from August and it's not looking good with the NHS loosing the equivalent of 269 fully qualified full-time GPs over the past year. Lets take a look in closer detail.....👀📈📉🧵

@DrSdeG Well done.

[Grant Ingrams @gji1964]

"In May 2023 there were estimated to be 27.7 million GP appointments in England. This is around 15% more appointments per working day than in May 2019."
Remembers these figures when government tries to blame GPs for their failing to support the NHS.

@patrickG731 Love fishing too. 🐟🐠

[Brenda Harrap @DrBHarrap]

Agree🎉

[Rebuild General Practice @RebuildGP]

🚨 By recruiting more GPs and making sure those already in the profession want to stay, we can ensure that patient safety is of the highest standard.

➡️ It's time for the government to listen, and get to work. #RebuildGP

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

2 out of every 3 frontline NHS staff don’t have access to a staff room.

We think it’s completely unacceptable for staff to work such long shifts, on their feet, without appropriate rest facilities.

Please RT if you agree.

[Mamas A. Mamas @mmamas1973]

I am the educational and academic supervisor of several junior doctors and I run projects for medical students in my research group.

It is frightening how many are taking exams for the US and Canada and how many are applying for jobs in Australia. I have never seen anything like this in my entire career

I don't think the government / general population appreciates how soon the system will collapse if they don't address the pay erosion for the junior doctors ASAP

COST COMPARISON

Glastonbury weekend ticket £335

Full car service + MOT £225

Pet insurance £360

Football season ticket £380

5 take-away Coffees/week £3.40 - £884

Did you know that you get all your GP practice services for a year for £163

It’s too little

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

Worried that neither @UKLabour @Conservatives understand this, and its crucially important, not least as mass recruitment without retention would be a huge waste of tax payers money

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

@msteggy Yes

[Brenda Harrap @DrBHarrap]

Agree

[Stuart Sutton @StuSutton]

As a clinical director with contract & support responsibilities for 28 local practices I can say from experience that GP partnerships *huge* added value, cost effective, support continuity & high quality care. Abandon the model at your peril. GP partners are the bedrock of #NHS

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

What is the capacity limit in GP

1.4m appts/day (Current)

40 consults a day per GP (More 25 not considered
safe)

1 GP per 2200 (average)

Need to protect the staff from burnout as they are currently providing maximum possible with no extra capacity

#GPCrisis Blame MPs not GPs

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

One doctor in the UK dies by suicide every one to two weeks, according to figures by @DoctorsDistress. The situation is worse still among women in the profession.

One doctors tells @leylahayes "we don't want to let patients down, but we have to think about our own health too".
