The Government’s 1% pay proposal for healthcare workers is little more than an insult.

Unless we see meaningful improvement, our consultant members in England will be asked about their willingness to take industrial action #FairnessForTheFrontline

@DavidGWrigley @TheBMA @ABridgen What do expect? Now the pandemic is ‘over’ the Tories will revert to type. Don’t ask for an apology - just join the campaign to get rid of the Tories. #Toriesout #NHS

Beats the hell out of working #HappyBirthdayNHS

[Chaand Nagpaul @CNagpaul]

Honoured to attend today’s #NHSBirthday service @StPaulsLondon. We must never forget the dedication & bravery of NHS staff we’ve lost and those continuing to protect and care for patients in the fight against Covid. Good to see @HelenStokesLam @Prerana_Issar @bodgoddard in flesh

It’s a start 👍

@ClareGerada Awkwardness is very tiring 😬

@OslersChild @WelshGasDoc @GaslingSarah There’s a stage beyond worker bee? Not any more 🤯

@DrJEMcK @WelshGasDoc Someone once said it’s like astrology but less accurate 😬

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

@WelshGasDoc @timricketts_ Medical unemployment may well be a political goal for the Tories. Punishment for the junior doctor strike and would open the door to private hospitals to become training institutions. Be very afraid 😱

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

@Beska With that amount of insight you will not go very far 🤪

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

@HSJnews No shit Sherlock ��

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

@HSJnews Would it not be more appropriate to increase the number of staff in a struggling hospital? 🤯

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

Well that’s a good start 👍

@DrLeslie_MD I’m an awkward one 😬

[awkwardolddoctor @awkwardolddict1]

@vickymgibson @Beska Over the years I’ve noticed a more or less inverse relationship between how busy some people say they are and how busy they actually are 😬
