I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. https://t.co/Liv26cn8Or #ConsultantsStrike

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay

They strike tomorrow

This letter is incredible

I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it

Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting

A thread for the ultra-wealthy.

If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you.

Here is why you are wrong…

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists.

But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY.

I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

@OrthopodReg @HeronIsle Ooh, we were at Heron Island at Christmas, it was amazing (although for someone with seasickness and a bird phobia, mildly traumatic…). Enjoy 😊

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@rosieICM Haha, teico wouldn’t unfroth for about a week after that 😂

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@DrPujaMehta1 Yes, this section hit me particularly hard.. Still so much work to do.

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@DrPujaMehta1 @DrJoPorter @Manup253 @KaminskiMed @smlungpathguy @leticiakawano @IPFdoc @KerriBerriKerri @dfmcauley @LCalabreseDO @GrantSchulert Congratulations, that’s brilliant 🤩

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@CHIMPSINSOCKS WTAF?? Rather than attempt to control guns, this is where they have gone instead??? Crazy priorities, I despair 😔

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/29 We need to talk about these graphs 👇

We have nurses & junior doctors on strike & consultants potentially joining them very soon. Lets talk about inflation & pay. How to fix this car crash (& perhaps more importantly, how NOT to). Please read full 🧵 to end and share / RT

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@richie_anderson Does she not realise that if she doesn’t like listening to something she can quietly switch over to something she does? Rather than this ridiculous rudeness… Ignore her, you were fab 🥰

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@philclifton @CHIMPSINSOCKS we are all Barbara… 😂😍

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@RoshanaMN Yes, this. Absolutely this. I might even add choosing what’s right over what might be beneficial to you personally…

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@LiangRhea @Botanygeek 😉😂

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@MatthewdAncona @Baddiel Don’t forget the exchanging gifts as well, standard.

[Andrea Baker💙 @ajbaker2011]

@Baddiel No no, wine and cheese and exchanging gifts… Definitely a normal work meeting, who would consider that a party? You need to sort out your work meetings, you are clearly doing it all wrong.
