Take 2 minutes to watch this. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the #DoctorsStrike. Thank you @DrHilaryJones.

Maternity care is affected everyday by midwife shortages and lack of funds caused by chronic poor decision making by the government eg brexit. Look at how often maternity units try to close/divert and you’ll see it’s not down to junior doctors strikes.

@BBC_HaveYourSay Junior doctors' strike: Some hospitals request staff return to work https://t.co/djjK5OE30L saying that emergency caesareans are affected is scaremongering. Consultants are perfectly capable of performing caesareans- it’s all those years as junior docs.

“While strikes may disrupt Emergency Care and pose a risk for patient safety, patient safety has long been at risk as a result of years of under-resourcing, under-funding, lack of staff, lack of beds, and inadequate and insufficient community and social care.”

Junior doctor strike: Union's pay demands 'unrealistic', says Steve Barclay - BBC News. I note MP pay up over 30% & >£20k since 2008. Reality: this is a political choice to not pay for doctors. ⁦⁦@SteveBarclay⁩ blocking talks, not ⁦@TheBMA⁩. https://t.co/bEqcxJFAMV

@BBCNews how much do bbc news readers earn? Eight to ten times what most junior doctors earn…. https://t.co/Si82TzRI37

[Andrew H Shennan OBE @OBSevidence]

Our NHS junior doctors are the backbone of the medical workforce. We need them. You need them. We’ve cancelled all
clinics. 1/4 have suicidal thoughts. 1/5 depressed. 30% don’t make it to a senior position. Is the media disinterested, or have I missed something? This matters.

[Natalie A M Cooper @docnamc]

I’ve been a junior doctor for 18 years- not because I’m bad at my job but because I’ve gone over and above to make myself more valuable to the nhs. What is a professional with 18 years experience worth? What’s it worth for me to safely care for women in labour??

[Natalie A M Cooper @docnamc]

@BBCNews funny, I though junior doctors were on an unprecedented 72 hour strike?? Not news worthy?? Not until you need nhs care

[Natalie A M Cooper @docnamc]

@BBCNews But of course, that would reveal the huge impact of brexit and that all NHS staff need a pay rise

[Natalie A M Cooper @docnamc]

@BBCNews Maybe someone should look at the huge problem of a lack of midwives. It’s a nationwide problem. I can’t believe it’s not all over the news!
