Imagine if journalists grilled government ministers the way they do unionists.

Welcoming people to A&E:
How long have you had this for?
- 3 months.

And what has your GP thought about it?
-I can’t see the GP, no one can!

When did you last call your GP surgery?

You don’t pay doctors? You don’t get doctors

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

We’re demanding full pay restoration for junior doctors in England, after a historic real terms pay cut of 22.4%.

If Govt fails to meet this we’ll begin preparations to ballot junior doctors in England for industrial action by early 2023 at the latest https://t.co/dyj65GuY67

All it takes to get to a tribunal is ONE word.

Have a long hard think before you flippantly refer someone to the GMC here or in reality.

[Hafsa Ahmed @ahdhafsa]

The majority of time in GP land feels like paperwork/admin/staying on hold on the phone. Time spent face to face with patients is shockingly short. Especially considering how hard it often is to get those appointments.

[johna💙 @docjallingham]

35 mins on hold , shunted between a consultant, a registrar and a nurse specialist who all refused the admission. Finally was told to send the patient to A and E and they can refer on. None disagreed with diagnosis or need to admit but all had a reason not to see. What a mess!

Eid Mubarak folks!

In a study was carried out in the Ul (bristol) after Black and brown parents complained about their childrens grades. They introduced a “blind element” meaning the examiner did not know the race of the students they were grading, and the teacher assessments were done face to face

Folks be taking unnecessary risks 😭

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

A SCHOOLCHILD strip-searched by @metpoliceuk in her school.

Wrongly accused of carrying cannabis.

Her externial genitalia exposed.
Her sanitary towel removed.

Her Mum was NOT informed
No teacher was present

She now has PTSD.

This is NOT policing.
THIS IS ASSAULT!!

[Doctors For Defunding Police @DrsDefundPolice]

A reminder that Canada’s healthcare system was recently ranked 10th out of 11 “developed”countries when it came to overall quality, only ahead of the United States. We can do better.

Breaking news from NHS England!
NHSE to fund a new dimension* of time and space to allow GPs to work 40 hour days, 10 days a week.

*relocation expenses to different dimension as per T and Cs

Everyone says to go travel and enjoy life before residency, but what no-one says is how they afford it… currently working 3 jobs to save up for moving and start of intern year costs so that’s how I’ll be spending most of my relaxation period 😆
