I graduated as a doctor 4 years ago with ~£100k of debt, and despite working up to 72 hours a week, my debt has only increased.
Doctors are being paid £17/hour and have to make loan repayments and pay thousands for exams and fees.
We are only asking for £23/hour.

There is a massive scandal within the NHS that the public aren’t being told about.
20,000 NHS doctors aren’t being allowed to become specialists, due to a lack of training jobs for them. These jobs are being centrally restricted by the government.
Doctors want to help the NHS, but are being held back from doing so. There is no rational explanation for this. When it takes months to see a specialist, or years to get your operation ask yourself why.
It is shocking that 1000s of doctors are out of training jobs, yet the only thing @wesstreeting has proposed is yet another ‘review’.
An entire generation of doctors are being tossed aside. Those responsible should be resigning in shame.
It’s finally done. @BAOMSOfficial have championed improving the exposure dental students have to OMFS - supporting a FREE to download book on our specialty for dental students and allied professionals.

I pay for my training.
I have over £115k of debt and will pay back over £250k over the course of my career.
This doesn’t include the thousands I have to pay for exams and courses during the course of my career.
Doctors are worth more than £15 an hour.

The NHS pay really is a joke, I’ll probs delete this tweet but here we go.
If I spend 30mins sitting with a family giving them the worst news of their lives that is valued by the NHS at £6.50
If I spend 1hr trying to keep someone who is dying alive that’s £13 for my efforts…
On the eve of another @BMA_JuniorDocs strike, we must acknowledge this is another strike that never had to happen.
The government has spent more covering for the strikes than if they had given doctors #payrestoration.
Tomorrow, we must stand together.
Full Pay Restoration.
Not only a vital service to prevent serious dental harm, but one of the first opportunities patients have to recognise the signs of mouth cancer. Early diagnosis is a vital part of the NHS Long Term Plan. We must solve this!

Wow I absolutely love this London Underground schematic anatomy map of the essential structures in the complex head & neck region
Just like the underground some lines run deeper than others & can get closed causing major disruption including neurological or other symptoms!
Third of medical students 'will quit the NHS within 2 years' in alarming exodus - if the bucket is leaking you need to fix the gaping hole and not just turn up the tap https://t.co/aF1dGRMDxo
(2/2) We are astonished that @thetimes have chosen to publish this letter. Once again, one man has been given a platform to speak about something he will never be unanswerable for, yet millions of women live with the consequences of everyday.
Statement 👉https://t.co/XgCJHL3g7U
Work should be a safe place like home. You can’t work to your best under fear or being anxious/scared.
The real tragedy is that this work ever needed to be done.
Well done for bringing this topic to the top tables for discussion @wpsms_org
