All the time they’re paying physicians’ assistants more than doctors, the government’s position of “there’s no more money for doctors” is utterly untenable.
Updated disparities, as at 1 April 2026👇🏼
The BMA remains concerned and calls on the Israeli government to immediately release all arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers, including Dr Hussam Abu Safiya.
With @AmnestyUK we have written to the foreign secretary demanding action to ensure that the Israeli government adheres to international law and medical neutrality.

This is vile, but because it’s targeted at Muslims, the Met Police don’t care.
Imagine if a pro-Palestine march had someone on stage mocking Orthodox Jewish women.
Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.
This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.
We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.
The paper on ED 'consultant' practitioners/nurses is absolutely fascinating. 🧵
The authors acknowledge 2 things:
1. That there is a national framework for 'consultant' practice.
2. That there is a nationally agreed role/function

Surgeons 🤝 calling the medical team on call for a patient with blood pressure of 180/120mmhg, after placing on tabs Amlodipine 5mg. As though they did not go to medical school with the rest of us
I never thought it was going to be easy but GP is HARD man..
Pt saying yes to every symptom and the dilemma of referring/not referring/ bloods etc.. 3 Months to go then back to Hospitals please

It’s not the BMA “undermining the trade union movement”.
It’s a Labour Prime Minister, writing in the Murdoch press, urging junior doctors to break with their union leadership.
That’s a direct attack on trade unionism.
Solidarity with @TheBMA and junior doctors on strike.
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
