1/ BREAKING: IMPORTANT updated pay chart based on today's @NHSDigital release of data to June 2024 from the superb @StuartHoddinott at @instituteforgov

So what does it show.. that pay (AND THEREFORE PENSIONS BASED ON THIS PAY) in the NHS has been comprehensively trashed
Pls RT!

Doctors are speaking up. Over and over again. But you belittle, dismiss & ignore our concerns about doctors being replaced by PAs - & refuse to publish the results of your public survey on the issue.

This is repressing, not promoting, speaking up. It’s the antithesis of candour.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Here is an NHS trust explicitly documenting the risk that replacing doctors with PAs in child protection assessments may lead to paedophiles/abusers not being successfully prosecuted...

... yet choosing to go ahead regardless.

How is this not a national scandal?

@CQCProf

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

Doctors have experienced some of the worst pay cuts in the public sector.

@wesstreeting constantly talks about how the NHS is broken. It’s broken because staff are not paid appropriately, and can no longer keep up with the workload.

We most keep fighting for #payrestoration

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

The public sector is not stupid.

Our pensions are based on pay. Because of this, *BOTH* our pay *AND* our pensions are hugely down.

You cant, therefore, fix the problem of pay by robbing our deferred pay (pension).

What a magnificent example of the power & value of vaccines - cervical cancer, eradicated in a generation of women by the safe & simple HPV vaccine.

Simply brilliant 👏👏👏

[Dr Waheed Arian @DrWaheedArian]

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS.

Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it.

We shouldn't give in to racism.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/ 🚨IMPORTANT: We need to meet again @jamesmurray_ldn @wesstreeting to talk about pension tax. Houston, we have a big problem #PayingToWork #TaperTaxHell

James & Wes would like to talk you through this REAL case study (shared with permission) 👇[& others]

Please share/RT

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

We cannot return to a situation where large number of senior doctors risk #PayingToWork

Need government to urgently engage & understand the issues @wesstreeting

When this was a major issue in 2019 👇 the waiting list was 4.51m. Its now 7.61m. Higher earners will need to help

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Rambling. Incoherent. Dangerous.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

@dave_dlt I’m so sorry, Dave. You shouldn’t be put in that situation and nor should your patients. Not ashamed to share I’ve cried after my MP advice surgeries with the same frustration. We’ll fix it together.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

I'm standing for my seats on @TheBMA
@BMA_Consultants & @BMA_Pensions committee

Poor pay & repeated attacks on pensions are existential threat to our NHS. If you are on RB #ARM2024- would be grateful for your vote for me. Please share if you support me!

The NHS is completely BROKEN😢

WASNT broken by COVID/Strikes/inflation (*delete excuse)

but by deliberate CHOICES to break it

RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, #reward staff & provide better healthcare than 👇 for the UK population

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Having failed on its promise to deliver 6000 more GPs by 2024, the government is quietly replacing GPs with non-medics.

Over half of all surgery appointments are now with non-GP staff such as PAs.

It’s an astonishing, wholesale change to NHS care - without patient consent.

[catherine v penrose @v_penrose]

@goldstone_tony @wesstreeting Better get the forms filled out for retirement because who is going to risk getting caught with the reintroduction of LTA. I’m already tired of being repeatedly shafted with pension tax. It’s a stress to find yourself working for NOTHING when you have worked a 24 ICU hour shift

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

How many times do NHS doctors need to speak out about the ways in which we’re quietly being replaced by non-doctors, with neither the knowledge nor consent of the UK public?

It’s a patient safety scandal - happening now, driven by @DHSCgovuk, aided & abetted by @gmcuk.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

😢 “The UK must do more in general to retain doctors and other healthcare staff. Pay restoration is part of it. But so is seriously reconsidering the rapid expansion of MAPs. Without addressing retention issues, people will weigh up various factors and many will decide to leave”

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

This was 2023 but nothing has improved since.
@BBCRosAtkins BBC looked at NHS funding since 2000 & compared UK healthcare spending with the richest EU members. And then looked at how funding connects to the current NHS crisis.
5 mins on what was found.
