📍++ competitive medical school entry
📍£100,000 student debt
📍 Starting salary £18/hour
📍 Pay 28% LESS than 10 yrs ago
📍Mass Unemployment after FY2
📍”No funding” for training posts
📍 Gov ARE funding for 19K ACPs to act as pseudo-doctors
So yes, I fully support Resident drs
Emergency departments are filled with ‘clinicians’ who couldn’t get into medical school, who are paid more than whatever doctors remain there.
Meanwhile 13 of every 14 actual doctors who apply to work in emergency medicine are rejected.
We truly live in upside down world where shortcuts, incompetence and mediocrity are rewarded.
Are you happy with this @wesstreeting?
Wes Streeting has failed to negotiate on pay or jobs.
We are again left with no choice but to strike.
We will strike between 07:00 Wednesday 17th December and 06:59 Monday 22nd December.
This will be a full walkout.
164,800 people waited over 12 hours in A&E last month. At the same time, 14 doctors are fighting for one A&E job.
Patients are stuck in corridors while NHS doctors who want to work are blocked by Government caps on training jobs.
The system is failing both staff & the public.
Simple Maths for Historians (@wesstreeting)
Resident Drs used to be paid £100
They lost 35% = £65
Even if the pay increased 28.9% of £65 = £83.78
Still down £16.22
£100k debts, reduced job prospects & working conditions
@UKLabour isn’t good at Maths

Wes Streeting:
We can’t afford to pay Drs £23 ph
Meanwhile :
We can pay nurses band 8a to work unsafely in a Drs role
@wesstreeting@RachelReevesMP advertising and paying more for a nurse to do the job of a surgical @BMAResidents is a political choice
#drsstrike
Doctors in England earn £18.62/hr
with £100,000 in student debt.
£18.62/hr to save lives,
care for your loved ones,
& treat your child in an emergency.
They’re asking for £22.67/hr; fair pay for critical work.
@wesstreeting needs to pay NHS doctors fairly or we will lose them.
This is why Resident doctors in England are taking a stand against the Government - it’s time to pay us what we're worth.
Support us on the picket lines 📢 25 to 30 July

Doctors DON’T have a final salary pension
Doctors DON’T get their exams paid for
Doctors DON’T get overtime
Doctors DON’T get their equipment paid for
Doctors DO pay for their own training
Doctors DO pay for their own stationary
Doctors DO earn less now than 2008 in real terms
Following yesterday’s strike ballot result, we met with @wesstreeting
It’s clear: the Government is refusing to negotiate on pay.
We are now preparing for a full 5 day walk-out, beginning on Friday 25 July.
Our door will always be open to constructive talks.
