@EleahPorterMD @MBosleyMD @EricKnauerMD @SAGES_Updates Great stuff. Do you have this full algorithm published yet?
Trying to move our transcystic bile duct programme forward here too… this looks terrific. Well done! 👏

[The Bone & Joint Journal @BoneJointJ]

One in four cancellations occur at short notice, with bed availability & patients being unfit for surgery as the most common reasons. There is an urgent need for efficiency programmes.

In a running theme - there’s always a tweet.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

There are major doctor shortages in the NHS, partly because pay is so low.
No-one who wants to defend the NHS would keep doctors' or nurses' pay so low.

Resident doctors reject Streeting's please and go ahead with strike

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

9 out of 10 nurses have rejected @wesstreeting’s pay award.

Doctors and nurses are united in the fight for fair pay.

If the Government wants to fix NHS staffing and retain the workforce, it starts with pay that reflects the value of the work we do.

So all that press briefing you and your team did about being furious, wanting to ‘break’ doctors, and how “your full attention” would be elsewhere now…

All of that was you staying at the table and trying to find a way through that’s acceptable to both parties was it?!

🤔

[TraineENT @traineENT]

Yes the @BMAResidents and @theRCN need to align and not be divided by the government. Stand up for fair pay.

[James Steen @BMA_James_Steen]

The sad irony being that full pay restoration for resident doctors would cost less than this.

At just £1.3bn approx if you did it overnight.

And to be clear, @BMAResidents aren’t even asking for it overnight.

They’re happy to negotiate a journey via a multiyear deal.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

✊Solidarity with striking @BMAResidents doctors!

Resident doctors are overworked and underpaid. The government has a responsibility to restore their pay after decades of austerity.

Firefighters stand with NHS resident doctors.

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

Wait …what!

Food, training & job security part of negotiations with Resident Drs

These are basics for any job, they are not perks, or negotiating tools

Imagine saying the opposite!

What does this say about the current situation for Resident Drs? @wesstreeting Fix it anyway!

[Mamas A. Mamas @mmamas1973]

1. A thread.
As a Professor of Cardiology and senior consultant i fully support resident doctors in their strike action.

Newly qualified doctors of today:
➡️ earn 40% less than their newly qualified assistants
➡️ earn £18/ hr
➡️ financially they are worse off than when I was newly qualified 25 years ago,

🛑I didn't have £100k of debt
🛑I had free accommodation
🛑 my take-home pay wasn't that much different to theirs

Doctors are not average. It is therefore irrelevant what the UK average salary is.

[Andrew Jordan @Andrew_Jordan_]

From 2008-2023 there was a constant theme of Consultant pay erosion and stagnation.

The only time this began to change was when members were united and determined to take action.

The @BMA_Consultants indicative ballot starts 21st July - vote YES to show support for action.

[Oh Bollards KPSS @ClaireL118]

Junior docs today earn barely more than I did in 1996 after I graduated med school. I did not have to pay tuition fees, parking charges and I was provided with hospital accommodation. Resident doctors are paid less than the PAs who assist them.

[Vivek Trivedi @_VivekTrivedi]

Predictable scenario @wesstreeting could have avoided

-last July: refused to agree future years
-last Dec: evidence to DDRB ref 2.8% and no ‘journey to fair pay’
-April: DDRB known, refusing to negotiate

@BMAResidents call to negotiate. Empowered w/ mandate to strike if ignored

[Mike Henley 🤨 @trentconsultant]

Just heard BBC Today Henry Zeffman saying NHS Pay Review Body likely to recommend about 3%. RPI is currently 3.2%. All eyes on the DDRB. We need roughly 14% to recover vs RPI over three years and 8% against even CPI as a staging post.
