Don’t trust me, I’m not a doctor

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@Hafumedic @Xeon4f145d96s1 Then by your own admission, her locumming on those days undermines strikes and allows all the things residents do to continue rather than allow the consultants to be responsible for everything and understandably not be able to complete it all (including elective work)

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@TheSecretDoc @Xeon4f145d96s1 Clearly for financial benefit as per her own post- not for humanitarian benefit.

By not working she actually ensures consultant cover which would be more invaluable to the patients than resident doctor cover.

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@TheSecretDoc @Xeon4f145d96s1 … which directly impacts patient safety in the long run.

This doesn’t even take into account the pay packet that she and thousands of doctors have received as a direct result of strike action (much more than 1.6k) which just delays her increase in pay

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@TheSecretDoc @Xeon4f145d96s1 The issue I have is that as a doctor, a Muslim and thereby a humanitarian, it is reprehensible to undermine strike action which aims to not only increase pay (individually motivated) but also increase training places and improve working conditions for doctors…

2/n

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@Hafumedic @Xeon4f145d96s1 It’s better to allow consultants to step down
1) cost of a cons is greater so it actually is bleeding the gov dry
2) elective work has to get cancelled due to inadequate staffing on wards which ACTUALLY impacts gov- targets to reduce waiting lists and costs to reschedule etc.

@CasinoCapital @Keir_Starmer Based on November 2025 polls, Maduro's approval rating in Venezuela was around 21%. Starmer's favourability in the UK was 15-18% in December 2025 polls. Yes, Maduro's was higher@CasinoCapital @Keir_Starmer Based on November 2025 polls, Maduro's approval rating in Venezuela was around 21%.

AU legal case update - we are sending a dossier to the GMC's own regulator

We have lost the first stage of the appeal in our legal case against the GMC over Physician Assistants and Anaesthesia Assistants (PAs and AAs).

The next legal step would be to go to the Court of Appeal, but we cannot afford to do this - even with our lawyers acting pro bono.

But we do have one last chance; going to the body that oversees and regulates the GMC itself - the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA). We plan to ask the PSA whether the GMCs approach to regulating PAs is fit for purpose.

During the court hearing we uncovered the GMC’s shambolic decision-making, and we revealed that the risks to patients, doctors and associates were never even assessed by the GMC. We need reassurance that these decisions were not simply taken by CEO Massey and handed down by him as a diktat to all his staff.

The evidence that came out in court was that the GMC was very aware of the risks posed by PAs, and had the legal power to set Scope if it so wished; but that it wilfully decided not to. Our dossier will repurpose a huge amount of very useful evidence on how this happened.

Our lawyers worked incredibly hard on our original case but in the end we did not crowdfund enough money to meet their fees. Asking them to do this additional work will need more cash. We are keeping our Crowdjustice open and hope we can raise enough to see this through. We do not yet know the exact costs involved.

I know for a fact this ACP holds a specialist reg bleep for inpatient referrals and procedures whilst the resident F1s and SHOs are stuck on the wards doing discharge summaries

The public should be VERY afraid

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Comparing MPs pay with Doctors.

Isn't it amazing, austerity for everyone except Billionaires and MPs.

What a coincidence.

[SleepyDoc 🍉🇵🇸💕 @agemjourney]

Oh please this has been happening every day all year round for years. The NHS is broken & it’s got nothing to do with strikes.

[Ollie Burton @ollieburtonmed]

In a dispute over pay and jobs, you
1. Offered no movement on pay
2. Offered no new jobs
3. Called doctors 'moaning minnies' and 'juvenile delinquents' in the press

[ClinOncDoc @ClinOncDoc]

UK media is literally just millionaire presenters calling doctors greedy for wanting to be paid more than £18/hr for saving your lives in the middle of the night.

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@aka_willbodie @schmanski10 @ITVNewsPolitics Every job I have worked as a doctor has been 48 hours. Yes we are paid for those hours (as we should) but we don’t get a choice as to how much we work. Very few jobs actually contract their doctors to work 40 hours and usually only in FY1

[Dr Goor @DeffoNotADr]

@BurnsideWasTosh @zizou16r @ITVNewsPolitics Can’t pay? We’ll take them away!

Australia is getting our doctors on the cheap.

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

So doctors are legally obliged to reject a £15 box of chocolates from a patient as a “conflict of interest”…

…but the bloke in charge of the ENTIRE BRITISH MEDICAL SYSTEM can take ~£400K from “private health sources” since coming into office…

…and that’s totally okay???

[Eli Sassoon @elisassoon]

This is why resident doctors are striking.

When you wait 12 hours in A&E to see a doctor, remember that.

[quds 🇵🇸🦀 @qudsintherye]

At my induction yesterday we got told “when you start the ACPs/ PAs will know more than you and when you finish they will still know more than you”

Can you imagine what this can do to someone’s confidence?
