1/ Thank you once again to @wesstreeting today in the House of Commons

"It's also absurd .. we still have doctors retiring early for no other reason than the pension rules create an active financial disincentive for them to work"

2/2 Now a mid-career consultant could pay £48,604 more AA tax in next 10 years (£68,498 vs £19,763), purely because government CHOOSE to (entirely unfairly) ignore -ve growth contrary to advice from @Policy_Exchange @NHSEmployers @AISMANewsline

RT if u think this theft stinks

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I was delighted the PM said she would "sort" doctors pensions

I think there's a tad more work to be done before the PM & SoS can put this on the "sorted" pile

Pls RT if you agree

If you like hill racing, enter the Harrison Hulme relay in the Pentlands 27 Jul. Organised in memory of one of my best friends, James Harrison, who was killed by a van driver whilst cycling in Edinburgh two years ago.

[claire gordon @beans2er]

Rant about the multi-speciality recruitment assessment - telling trainees they have an exam on one of the busiest weeks of the year with 2 weeks notice is not easy for those of us trying to staff units where staffing is already a full time job #MSRA not to mention the trainees

[Alistair Gibson @agibson82]

@ScotACCPs @NHS_Lothian @FICMNews @sicsmembers @riecriticalcare couldn’t function without our ACCP colleagues. Highly skilled and valued team members all of them!

I've been thinking about this and the responses. There are many complex problems in the NHS but I can give you some simple, important facts that I know to be true, from my own observations. 1/n

@monibeatty Great news @monibeatty. Congratulations!
