📰Huge thanks to @Foysol4Lothian for writing this article about how Occupational Therapy is the solution to many of our health and social care challenges. We met Foysol last month in Parliament at our exhibition and are grateful for his continued support. https://t.co/wkqs1XWxQ1

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear ​🇬🇧​,
​​
​​We junior doctors are set to launch another period of strikes for 5 consecutive days from 24-28 February.
​​
​​Striking must always be a last resort and I’m furious that we still have to be doing this for a 10th time but with news this week that @RishiSunak is personally preventing a resolution to the #DoctorsStrike because he doesn’t want nurses and other NHS staff to have their pay restored too — something all of us truly deserve — it’s an absolute necessity that we keep fighting.
​​
​​It is simply not okay that a qualified doctor working a 48hr/week contract starts at £15/hr with £100,000 student debt and earns far less than our PA colleagues (no shade) who have less training and less debt. It is not okay that our NHS colleagues are visiting food banks. It is not okay that NHS hospitals are crumbling from the catastrophic defunding of the NHS of £400 billion pounds over the last decade. It is not okay that patients are suffering on the longest waiting list in NHS history at over 7.6m. It is not okay that 25,000 people died last year due to preventable delays accessing NHS emergency care. It is not okay that 24 hours in A&E is no longer just a TV show. It is not okay that millions cannot see a GP, an NHS dentist, or receive their Cancer care here in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth.
​​
​​Until and unless we have safe staffing levels across the country then every one of these shocking failures of this government will not improve.
​​
​​Without adequate staff, patients will not be protected and their care will continue to be delayed and denied. Pay restoration for NHS staff back to what we were earning in 2008 is not unreasonable and is the only way to stop this catastrophic staff haemorrhage overnight.
​​
​​So please join us in urging this government to come back to the table, to meet with our elected representatives from @TheBMA, and to prevent the next round of strikes from taking place.

Thank you.

If you are concerned that someone you know may be suicidal, please ask them directly whether they have been thinking about suicide.

@parrkers Oh no, that sucks! Can your IT dept help?

[Susan Petrie @SusanPetrieOT]

This is what I feared would happen, the information was so vague at the time

Did you know there were nearly 6 million FEWER courses of dental treatment provided last year than there were in the year before the pandemic.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware of the dangerous state of NHS dentistry
