@DavidHa53680556 @robert0461 @BBCBreakfast @DrHWazir Because as you said these are additional hours and out of hours supplements which require working extra hours or nights etc. How would you like to compare someone who works Mon-Fri days Vs OOH shifts? AfC pay attracts more if OOH. Also AFC salary is 37.5hrs a week Vs doctor 48hrs

@PemburyDoc @DrLKVaughan What was the thinking in using the term 'consultant'? Surely this was only ever going to create the illusion of equivalence and confusion? Or was that the point?

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@DrJPGannon @DrOKaneAgain @timricketts_ How can an ANP amass the knowledge and clinical management skills equivalent to a doctor? Is it just by being around? Active study and assessment? How can you be sure other than just 'vibes'. Do you not see any problems with what you've described as safe?

@lagoria @Madden9007 @IanCopeland5 Because of the large RECOVERY trial - dex significantly reduced mortality in covid patients requiring supplementary oxygen or invasive ventilation. You'd want it if you were struggling for breath trust me!

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@TypeForVictory Anyone starting their post with 'senior doctors and surgeons...' doesn't understand the medical profession

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@DrNickDalmon @VincentVanGrump @wesstreeting And lose (normally one of the best and more experienced) nurses/physios etc. Definitely leaves a noticeable skills gap. And with student debt and the way the NHS is as an employer then who wants to be a nurse these days?

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@TomHCalver Free accommodation prior to 2008 as well. Imagine how many £1000s this would relatively add to early years doctor pay these days. Makes the drop even more dramatic. Doctors have been successively shafted over the last 20 years and have had enough.

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@wesstreeting If you want a multi year pay deal you'll have to link it to inflation. RDs are looking for effort to address years of pay erosion. None of us want to go through this ridiculous process every year following a shit DDRB recommendation.

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@jackp593 @agemjourney Is that what you're told on the course?

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@jackp593 @agemjourney An ACP is not educated to the same as a resident doctor. That is a ridiculous statement.

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@Langton_Steve @ExplosiveEnema2 @DrLKVaughan @medicalmodelbri A load of bullshit confused word salad. Clearly doesn't reflect the job of a medical consultant so no excuse to substitute roles at any time. Reads more like a management consultant and uses 'consultancy'. NHSE/DHSC needs to explain why the title is necessary for non doctors.

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

This flagrant display of racism (and ageism) is unacceptable and a sackable offence. @jkyleofficial needs to go. @TalkTV @Ofcom

[Dr Aadam Aziz @Aadam_Aziz]

Absolutely disgraceful racism from @jkyleofficial on @TalkTV. As the camera zooms in on me and @DrHWazir on the picket line, he sneers that “a lot of them have come into this country to be doctors.” He based this solely on the colour of my skin.

I was born in the UK. I studied and trained in the UK and I currently work as a doctor in the NHS. My grandfather fought for this country in WW2.

This is racist, demeaning, and utterly unacceptable.

@DrSteveTaylor @timricketts_ Average house price in 1974 was approximately £10,000 with a deposit of £500. Splash out in London for the princely sum of £12,000. Oh but that's right he wouldn't need one because of his free hospital accommodation. More of his salary to pay off his university fees. Oh actually

[Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP @DrAsifQasim]

This confirms concerns that the NHS 10 year plan is a blueprint for substituting doctors with people who are not medically trained

If @NHSEngland wants to experiment with unproven care models @CMO_England should get ethical approval and apply robust trial methodology

How does informed consent look when you’re saying to patients they’re not going to see a doctor but someone else who doesn’t have the training?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Whatever you think about resident doctor strikes, the govt's decision to downgrade the NHS by - yes, you read that right - "reducing reliance on doctors" is appallingly short-sighted. This will punish patients, who have a right to access high quality care from appropriately qualified medical professionals. How exactly is improving the NHS compatible with reducing its numbers of doctors, @wesstreeting? This is exactly what Jim Mackey appears to be announcing 😳

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

The GMC was set up in 1858 to protect the public by creating a medical register to distinguish qualified doctors from unqualified ppl

Ironically, THEY now are the ones abolishing this by registering non-medically trained ppl as “qualified”?!

Then ⬇️ Now ⬇️

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@mattster I can see the ground being laid for a process in the future to move 'advanced practitioners' to GMC regulation and then to 'CCT'. This is a complete dismantling of the medical profession. The BMA needs to prioritise stopping this.

[ResidentDoc @DoccyD0c]

@Lord_MikeS @DrLukeCraddock Just think that one through a bit. Do you think a government would be incentivised to improve wages and working conditions without the threat of strike? Do you think this will make the NHS an appealing place to work? What do you think would happen?

[Mike Henley 🤨 @trentconsultant]

@finnmac79 @d_magpie @Debicemeler2011 @TheBMA @wesstreeting We work for a monopsony employer. Our pay review body (which was set up to prevent strikes) has failed, our pay is about half Ireland and Aus, 1/3 of Canada public sector. Since 2008 average workers pay has recovered ours is still way underwater. Fix it or face the consequences.
