4/4 Its time to finally get rid of this stupid and ill informed tax you inherited from the prior government which doesnt work and creates perverse incentives to not take on additional work

RT if you want government to get rid of the #taper

Absolutely not.
Results given straight out of the gate please.
You know them. You know they need them. Even 5 minutes of chit chat is a cruelty.

Use of SBRT for painful vertebral mets vs standard EBRT.
Translates to improvement in pain.
But how do we deliver this in day to day practice?

Dr Ravi Jayaram is one of the consultant paediatricians who tried & tried & tried to raise concerns about Lucy Letby.

His trust stonewalled, threatened & gaslit him - then forced him to attend mediation with Letby & apologise to her.

Please read his words 👇

I qualified in 1994. First job was a pre-reg house job at St Thomas’. Found this payslip. Hrs were significant but I worked under the same SHO/Reg/Senior Reg/Consultant. The firm structure was brilliant for training. Cannot believe what juniors are paid now. #JuniorDoctorsStrike
