Bank Holidays means a day off for most, but not for thousands of NHS staff keeping services running.

Resident doctors, often starting work with over £100k debt, are the lowest paid workers in hospitals today.

RT to remind @wesstreeting every NHS worker deserves fair pay.

Welcome to the NHS 🤣

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Is this Consultant actually serious?

Doctor calls in sick, literally awaiting surgery, and consultant response: ‘Ok but can you do the shift tonight?’

Get. A. Grip.

[Professor Claire Hopkins @SnotSurgeon]

My all day NHS operating has been left with 3 out of 5 slots unused - 2 patients decided on Wednesday that the date did not suit (having previously confirmed) and 1 this morning did not want to wait to be second on the list, so left. They have waited nearly a year for surgery.

[Jamie Murphy @Microbedoc2]

Me getting called at 4am for a totally inane reason that clearly could have waited until 9am.

@KeepGoinEoin Anaesthetic rooms are freezing, patients are anxious and dehydrated most of the time. It’s not that easy..

The ONE result I've sat up all night for. Congratulations @catecclesstour our first #ODP member of parliament. And in the party of government to boot.

To all our ODP buddies. Thank you for being fabulous! From supporting us as novice trainees to senior colleagues. For teaching, questioning & caring. We are very grateful! #ODPDay

@SerratiaJon Mindray by any chance? 🤣

[charlotte @_charlottemeads]

@wombat_1965 @HealthRegLawyer Your statement is not true. I am an anaesthetic practitioner. I am a registered ODP. Some of my anaesthetic practitioner colleagues are registered nurses. We do exactly the same job, day in day out. We have identical job contracts. Only difference is our registrations.

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Can we all agree that this is definitely the best position for sleeping.

[charlotte @_charlottemeads]

@theRCN how is it fair that, as an operating department practitioner, I will be paid less than an anaesthetic nurse doing EXACTLY the same job as me?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So Pret baristas will now be earning up to £14.10 an hour.

New NHS doctors - after their 5-year medical degree, whopping £80,000 of student debt, & life & death responsibilities - get paid £14.13 an hour.

And the government wonders why they're striking?

Oh to be a fly on the wall on strike day when a discharge coordinator bleeps the on call FY1 bleep to do a TTO when it’s the consultant cardiologist holding it

[charlotte @_charlottemeads]

My whole of my tik tok fyp is of Chris Browns’ tour. I have never, ever, wanted to go to a concert so bad 😭😭😭

[Tim Ricketts @timricketts_]

The first time I did CPR, resuscitation efforts had been going on for 20 minutes by the time I got on the chest. At that point, there was no structural integrity of his ribs at all. After it was called, I tried to go back to work, but ended up going to the toilets to cry. 1/2

Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

Shared w/ permission. Pls RT to get this out there.

[Daniel Mercer @danny_mercer]

It’s Boxing Day. So I’m on a mandatory 12-hour bank holiday shift for £14ph as a doctor :)

I earned more on Boxing Day on the tills at Asda in 2012.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

Tomorrow 100,000 nurses go on strike. Their real pay has fallen by £1,800 this year, declining by £5,000 since 2010. 14% are using foodbanks while 1 in 3 have difficulty covering the cost of food and heating their homes. But this strike is about more than just paltry pay.🧵
