£17 an hour.
That's what doctors are valued at in England.

£17/hr after 5 years of training.
£17/hr with £100,000 of student debt.
£17/hr to save your life.

£23/hr is what we need to restore our pay.

We have fully qualified doctors with £100k student loans who will be without work this August.

Undervalued, underpaid, and now soon to be unemployed.

Urgent action is needed.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Students from less affluent backgrounds are less likely to apply and to receive offers to study medicine.

Only by embedding widening participation in policy and practice can we build a more inclusive profession

[DoctorsVote @DoctorsVoteUK]

This is unacceptable.

This doctor will be working up to 72 hrs a week treating you and your loved ones this August.

They will be left to find somewhere to rent at the very last minute and be paid £17/hr for the privilege.

Is this a fair way to treat our doctors?

No wonder doctors are preparing to strike.

It's completely unacceptable that due to poor planning, some trusts will fail to meet their backpay obligations to resident doctors in England this month.

We continue to hold trusts and NHS Employers accountable for this.

If you do not receive your backpay in your November pay packet, please read the statement and FAQs: https://t.co/6oMVoLM6aF

I was discharged from the psych ward a year and week ago today. Last year I spent most of my days lying in bed. Today I finished a 2500 word university essay and finished a book last night.

It gets better. I promise.

Please stay.

It was 4 years ago this month that Covid restrictions were introduced that meant you could only buy a drink in a pub if you had a Scotch Egg with it.
What was the most moronic Covid rule you remember?

Huge news BMA GP Commitee voted to phase out PAs in primary care across the U.K.

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

A new survey shows that almost 1 in 10 secondary school pupils currently vape, with a quarter of 11 to 15-year-olds saying they have tried vaping. This is a growing concern, especially over the potential long-term effects on health.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.

I think this is a national scandal.

Please RT if you do too 🙏

Australia has just made it easier for UK CCT doctors to work in Australia using a fast-track pathway.

This applies to, in particular, GPs

Anaesthetics, O&G, and Psychiatry will be added to this list.

Pls share with anyone its relevant to

A warning to those age 22 or under. You may have £2,000 in a Child Trust Fund. You can access it for free. Yet some firms are trying to charge you to get your own money. Don’t pay. Watch this instead…

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

If you don't have a Will, this is the moment to do it. If you have a Will but no Power of Attorney that's worrying. In both cases (and more) this is worth a listen...

As it is if you're unmarried and living together or recently married!

PA ‘specialising’ in breast surgery

Do a 2 year course and you’ll somehow bypass all necessary medical training by being friends with consultants as a permanent staff member
