NHS England has withdrawn funding for the mental health support provided by NHS Practitioner Health to secondary care staff.

This is deeply concerning, at a time when "mental health support for NHS staff is needed now more than ever." @romanpsych

Over five days of #juniordoctorsstrikes there were 101,977 operations and appointments cancelled in England. Across all strikes, nearly 700k patients have been affected.

@LondonSneh - looks like a great resource for new novice anaesthetists…

[BMA Consultants @BMA_Consultants]

The BMA is clear that NHS consultants planning to strike should not schedule any other work, including in private practice, when they are taking part in industrial action.

Consultants/SAS Drs: before you leap forward, well-intentioned, to cover juniors’ shifts during the strikes, remember to demand BMA card rates. It adds pressure. You can donate the difference to the strike fund if you want. But taking the shift too cheaply undermines the juniors.

[Helen @HWestall]

@krishgm It’s free for BlueLight card holders too (have to book a time slot in advance)
