'These Tories, this horrendous government, the worst government I can ever remember, they value Russian oligarchs and rich people...doctors and nurses? Nah.'
Doctors have just been given 'another pay cut' with the 6% pay offer, this retired consultant tells @mrjamesob.
My barber makes £40 an hour, the window cleaner tops that at £42 an hour.
Surely £19 an hour for the backbone of the NHS is the very least this country can deliver! @TheBMA#FullPayRestoration@SteveBarclay
This is not basic pay. It includes compulsory overtime pay - nights, weekends & bank holidays, not to mention a 48hr working week.
This, in other words, is an official civil service account - supposedly impartial & accurate - parroting blatantly misleading government spin.
If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.
The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.
Message for jnr Drs; take action, demonstrate your huge worth by withholding your labour. This is about fairness & has an enormous mandate. Consultants & SAS will cover. Whether you're a ST7 or F1 you have much to gain. Stand together & don't be sweet talked into strike breaking
Yesterday JDC co-chairs received a letter from the health secretary – in which he introduced a pre-condition to give up our negotiating position and call off strike action.
Our response below makes it clear that without any credible offer next week’s strikes will continue.
In case anyone is wondering why the @BMA_JuniorDocs are striking, here are 2 payslips. The first mine as a house officer in 2002, the second my current F1’s and his includes a crem form!
The NHS is completely BROKEN
It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse)
It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it
RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population
I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.
The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.
@SteveBarclay@RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.
To get them to listen, pls retweet
Solidarity today with the most compassionate, dedicated, tireless, brilliant colleagues I know.
What a badge of shame for your govt, @RishiSunak, that you’ve driven NHS nurses - nurses of all people - to strike.
Thank you, NHS nurses - you’re the best 💙
#FairPayForNurses
NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
On #IWD2022 this @serenawilliams quote resonates strongly. If you’re going to smash the glass ceiling, don’t pull the ladder up behind you! Hold out your hand and celebrate others’ successes. Let’s make surgery kind, strong and humble #StrongerTogether#ILookLikeASurgeon 🙌🏼 🤝
Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent
