Cash, care and coercion - Doctors really do know best. Our exciting debate topic to be discussed on 28th April, 6pm in Lecture theatre F, St George's Hospital.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Pls RT if you think Theresa May should also be held to account for systematically underfunding the NHS, allowing staff to be treated appallingly, and keeping Jeremy Hunt in both a job and a luxury bathroom https://t.co/kDESLsTXTQ

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

Leaked secret papers show the junior doctors' concerns were right. This warrants an inquiry. Hunt mislead the public https://t.co/dNuAvSfejB

[The Independent @Independent]

'Junior doctors are being treated so badly that we may be forced to strike' http://t.co/LP3XpgV9E2

Final vote - Opposition wins by 13 to 5 with some remaining undecided! #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Doctors are best placed to hear the whole MDT plus the patients perspectives, does this make us the best qualified decision makers #docbate

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Final arguments before the final vote!#docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Would a wealthy person accept financial incentives to have a monthly depot? Unlikely. An interesting moral argument #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Dr O'Brien suggests the Drs certainly know best about some aspects of care but given prior mistakes this is by no means full proof #docbate

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Catherine Hawkins argues each stakeholder will have different priorities. Is a more commercial approach required?#docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Dr burns suggests as doctors are not living with the conditions we can not know better and they're involvement in care is key #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Dr Ed Burns expands the question to "do doctors know better than managers and patients?" #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

@MarkOneinFour Who do doctors know better than? #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

@MarkOneinFour how do doctors know they're "good" given the terrible decisions which have historically been made in medicine #docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

@MarkOneinFour suggests the data&evidence used is simply what we have chosen to look at?Can you be 100% sure you are right as a Dr #docbate

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Are doctors terrible at noticing when they are being influenced? The drug lunches? Free pens?#docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

@ToTheMaxStirk argues the belief that doctors know what's good for patients is untrue. Consultants frequently disagree do they not?#docbate

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

@ToTheMaxStirk asks we bear in mind the atrocities which have occurred under the lead of Doctors. Remember the syphilis study?#docbate2015

[Docbate SW London @DocbateSWL]

Mid Staf managerial staff largely consisted of non clinical staff. Would the events have happened with clinicians in charge?#docbate2015
