A reminder that the government benefits from inflation in many regards and gets windfalls such as in Jan, billions which could be used to support public services but generally are not. #PayRestoration #PublicSectorPay

[Sarah Freshwater (she/her) @SarahFresh2o]

On the bus to picket line. Tired from nursing a teething baby through the night.

I'm a junior doctor, striking in solidarity with all public sector workers.

We all deserve a fair wage.

[Sarah Freshwater (she/her) @SarahFresh2o]

I'm a junior doctor and I'm striking for #payrestoration because the NHS needs it's workers.

And we all need the NHS.

It's been the best and most cost efficient health service in the world.

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

WATCH: @andrewmeyerson - a junior doctor from the US - shares his love for the #NHS & why he's striking to save its future.

As patients we stand united with NHS junior doctors as they begin a historic 5-day strike for #PayRestoration. Solidarity! ✊

#JuniorDoctorsStrike

[PS @rheumipainmask]

@TaffyStB @LBC @mrjamesob If that were the case why cut 25% of pay from doctors- after all bankers are still doing very well.
I know so many doctors leaving UK - how are we going to manage? Even a private healthcare system will not survive with such shortages

#JuniorDoctorsStrike ✊🏽

[Trisha Elliott @Trisha_the_doc]

I’ve had such an amazing and happy career as a doctor.

Very few people come in to this profession for fame or fortune.

A decent wage is all they’re asking for.

This government has created the longest NHS waiting lists in history.

This government has created the longest junior doctors' strike in history.

They must take action and pay NHS staff properly. If we don't care for carers, they can't care for patients. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

[Sarah Freshwater (she/her) @SarahFresh2o]

It's a hard one to put into words. Another year is coming. My boy died last year. This is the last day I'll be able to say that. The seemingly insignificant milestones which feel hard. #grief #childloss #teamKip #childhoodleukaemia #NewYearsEve

"It's very difficult for anybody who works in the NHS to admit they're struggling." - @NaylerLisapink

Dr Lisa Nayler shared the impact of burnout & stress on NHS staff at our last briefing - but not enough MPs heard her message. Pls write to your MP now: https://t.co/7d7tja1wEx

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Complex trauma isn't a disorder.

It is a set of survival strategies that have got stuck on because it's bloody difficult to let go of what has kept us psychically alive.

Healing takes time, patience and understanding even if we present in a way that doesn't make sense to you.

Indie is a midwife working in #Ethiopia. She explains what a difference your donation to our @BigGive Christmas campaign will make.

I'm supporting this fundraising effort to help women in Ethiopia with a nasty childbirth complication for which treatment is available. Helping women is a way of making children's lives better. #giving #christmas2022

[Hamlin Fistula UK @HamlinFistulaUK]

Tomorrow at midday we launch our Christmas appeal with @BigGive.

In one week we want to raise £30,000.

Every donation you make will be doubled.

We want to find, treat and care for women in Ethiopia who are living with untreated childbirth injuries.

Can you help us?

[Sarah Freshwater (she/her) @SarahFresh2o]

Devastated for this family. This is the state of the NHS. People are dying. Children are dying. I talk to my colleagues working flat out; it's falling apart in the hospitals. We need a government who will support the NHS. #NursesPayRiseNow #savetheNHS #weneedtheNHS

[Mark Thompson @SkyNewsThompson]

Sky News has spoken to a devastated family who say their five-year old child died this week after their pleas for him to be admitted into hospital were dismissed by staff at @RotherhamNHS_FT who told them they didn't have any spare beds. This is the story of Yusuf Mahmud Nazir.

[Cara Lisette @CaraLisette]

Sincere thread for people who aren’t sure about why nurses are striking:

Nursing is one of the lowest paid graduate jobs in the country. A newly qualified nurse will go in at £27k a year but with significant debt, having worked for free for three years prior to qualifying. 1/

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

25 November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the world is standing with survivors against gender-based violence.

We're standing with them. Are you?

[Sarah Freshwater (she/her) @SarahFresh2o]

My highlight from #HUKConf22 : hearing about #CompassionateNeighbours . https://t.co/SEOqanTZpb What a way to get the community supporting each other and providing grassroots palliative care. @palliumindia @mrraj47 is this one of the ways forward?

Underfunding causes humanitarians to make impossible choices about what to prioritize in an emergency response. Having to say no can lead to suffering or death.

[Safe Passage International🧡 @safepassageint]

Utterly brilliant questioning of the Home Secretary this morning on the lack of safe routes & how refugees without a specific country scheme literally cannot seek asylum in the UK without entering the country in any way they can, she's left scrambling.

We need safe routes NOW
