Dear @RishiSunak,
Before your militant @Conservatives took over 13 years ago, patients could see their GP in only 1-2 days. Now millions wait over 2 weeks. Bravo. The son of an NHS GP is now overseeing the death of general practice. The NHS is not safe in your hands.

Dear @Conservatives,
13 years ago you inherited the #1 ranked healthcare system on the planet and look what you've done: We now have the longest GP, A&E, cancer, and outpatient waiting lists in NHS history. 7.5m people long. You don't deserve power. You deserve prison.
#SOSNHS
Tomorrow we begin our longest #DoctorsStrike in England ever. We know this is taking its toll. So we're only asking you to support picket lines Thursday between 8 and 10am to give everyone a chance to recharge. Read our blog for more details: https://t.co/48XLEOjE6S
Next:
🔸Longest (junior) doctors’ strike in NHS history - 5 days starting Thursday 13th.
🔹1st round of consultant strikes - 2 days starting Thursday 20th.
🔸1st round of radiographer strikes - 2 days starting Tuesday 25th.
The govt can stop all of this with credible offers.
Doctors gonna doctor… ✊🏼
Our fight is not with the public and, having sat on its hands since this dispute started in October last year, the government must own these strikes and their impact.

Today, the government is dragging us to court to cut the #RCNStrike short.
We are clear: silencing nursing is silencing the public.
Share this to stand in solidarity with your nursing profession and NHS.
You have voted to reject the NHS pay offer for nursing staff in England.
Next steps:
- Seek urgent talks with UK govt
- 48-hour strike from 8pm 30 April, without derogations
- England-wide statutory ballot to extend current strike mandate

Today it has been reported that during our first round of action in England mortality rate was 11.1% above the 5 year average.
What they haven’t reported was that in Wales, where no strike action took place, mortality rate was 14% above the 5 year average. 1/3
I came across this. It is entirely untrue. Junior doctors who are IMGs are not at risk. JDC will not run strike action that puts IMGs at risk of visa issues. Actual advice here https://t.co/mMkemWbvlX Please retweet to correct this outrageous nonsense.
The recognition from colleagues that much of the work is harder now - more complex patients - is refreshing to read!
Thank you Consultant, SAS and other medical colleagues for stepping in. Please claim the rates and TOIL you deserve and look after yourselves also.
"If you asked the average person on the street if they would be happy to pay a doctor £19-an-hour I think you get a resounding yes"

I find it amazing that MPs are able to say with a straight face that it’s unreasonable of doctors to have expected their salaries to keep up with living costs, when MP salaries have increased 28% since 2010. But Drs asking for a similar amount to restore pay are “unreasonable”.
