@DHSCgovuk@jamesmurray_ldn This is good news. Resident doctors deserve a much better deal
A quibble: The UK Govt orders bank balances to increase when it spends, so the Govt CAN always afford ANY amount in £s to provide an attractive remuneration package for NHS doctors to deliver care for NHS patients
Only she didn't see Drs. She was seen by nurses, paramedics who haven't studied medicine, supervised by a lone Dr. @jamesmurray_ldn Tell me this is acceptable, an apology doesn't cut it. Tell me you'll implement LengReview & no more unavoidable deaths.
We've written to the Secretary of State and NHS England CEO calling for urgent action to address unsafe doctor substitution by employers.
The letter comes in the wake of our survey report revealing doctors' serious concerns over patient safety. 🔗 https://t.co/tqhjxqUQU6
Strikes announced. We had hoped a change of leadership at the Department of Health & Social Care would be a chance to reset talks. Instead, there’s been no new fair offer on pay and no concrete commitment on jobs. That’s why resident doctors are taking action. See you on the picket line.
I was on the picket line today with @Aadam_Aziz and many doctors across London.
And as the camera zoomed in on us, Jeremy Kyle made comments about people having “come into this country to be doctors’’ - looking straight at us, and deciding that based on the colour of our skin.
Let me be absolutely clear.
My parents were born here.
I was born and raised in London.
I have given nearly 6 years of my life working in the NHS as a doctor.
And still - in 2026 - that’s not enough to be seen as someone who belongs in Britain.
This isn’t just about one comment.
It’s about hearing, over and over again:
“Go back to where you came from.”
“We don’t want you living around us.”
It chips away at you. It makes you question how you’re seen. And the worst part? It actually doesn’t even shock me anymore. That’s how normalised this has become in our society.
But I refuse to shrink myself to make other people comfortable.
I refuse to stay silent while doctors, people who care for patients in this country every single day, can be treated like outsiders in it.
I am not going anywhere.
I will keep speaking.
I will keep standing up.
And I will keep fighting for this profession, no matter how loud the abuse gets.
Solidarity to every resident doctor across England taking lawful industrial action today.
Together, we will win.
For over the last 2 years doctors have been warning that lesser skilled staff are being used to ‘deliver care’
There is NO shortage of doctors
Doctors are in fact stopped from working in the NHS, made redundant or just forced out.
The public is being sold out by politicians @wesstreeting
🚨NEW: It has been revealed that almost HALF of all NHS hospital trusts are using “non-doctors” to fill doctors roles! 🇬🇧
They are using under qualified staff to fill in “rota gaps”, with the doctors union describing the move as a “potential disaster”
The advanced practitioners, AKA physician associates, offer one from a background of paramedics or nursing, however, the BMA has said bosses are going TOO FAR - pushing the staff way beyond their training ⚠️
This genuinely sounds like a disaster waiting to happen 😬
A powerful clip that’s currently trending in the U.S. featuring the well-known American content creator Myron Gaines:
An Israeli woman asks him: “Do you believe the Holocaust happened?”
Myron replies: “Do you believe there is a genocide happening in Gaza?”
The Israeli woman: “There is no evidence of that.”
Myron responds decisively: “Alright—then how do you expect the world to believe in the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were killed, even though it happened in a time without advanced documentation and recording technologies—while today you deny what is happening in Gaza, even though the world is witnessing it live, with clear audio and video?”
@julesw1lko@koshercockney@CommonsSpeaker@DawnButlerBrent@JudithCummins as a British Pakistani, I find it difficult to support you as part of the Wibsey Ward considering those comments are of a racist detail, and you do not acknowledge these comments. It is VERY strange how much parliamentary time was wasting on trying to withdraw this
