@chriscraigCCC 😆🤣😆

Certainly attention grabbing headline but woefully flawed. Interesting that no reference to who these doctors were? Still working as clinicians or now working for government? Or perhaps those that have left as the ‘us’ they refer to is the NHS machine. https://t.co/KgCujOZLa5

Listening to PMQ’s amazes me…things are always quoted as being better resourced, better equipped, more efficient, better funded or better invested in than ‘this time last year’ —then why does it feel like everything referred to is less effective, failing or just plain worse?

@Dr_DeanS This actually demonstrates just how ill informed Katie is…you have to feel sorry for her and forgive her ignorance.

@trentconsultant And I’m honestly voting ‘no’!

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

@goldstone_tony Excellent demonstration of the facts…if this was actually put in front of the public clearly , following a ‘No ‘ vote on current pay offer, by Consultants, at the beginning of a further strike ..then perhaps there would be more understanding of why we are where we are!

@BigBaldDr @goldstone_tony @Vish_Sharm @BMA_Consultants @trentconsultant @Xeon4f145d96s1 Agreed -we have a waiting list problem & gvmnt priority & pledge is to reduce it.
We don’t have enough workforce capacity on current job plans & are paying out extra rates to do additional work.Given opportunity to redirect spare SPA above core (?1) why wouldn’t it go to DCC?

@goldstone_tony @Vish_Sharm @BMA_Consultants @trentconsultant @Xeon4f145d96s1 This is contract reform not an address of pay erosion

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

So, could they sort out doctor pay dispute with that tax cut instead to avert more doctors leaving the NHS and the further extension of waiting lists? The argument that there is not the money seems flawed now!

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

Words fail me at the moment on the priority spend here….

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

@OrthopaedicOz Its funny, as a female doctor in training I never thought to correct patients when they said ‘Thankyou nurse’. I thought it would be pretentious , but I now realise how important it is to make a clear distinction between roles, else they become devalued.

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

Say no more!
More evidence the gvmnt have got it wrong around doctor pay, terms and conditions. https://t.co/C679YhMEPJ

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

@Telegraph Yet more evidence the gvmt has got their position around medical pay wrong!

🧑‍⚕️ Fewer than half of trainee GPs go on to work for the NHS full time, a new report has revealed

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

Why does it take so long to get supported and heard, requiring an external review ? I have to wonder what the Board, their NEDs and Govenors were doing when staff survey data and walk arounds were done and analysed or weren’t they? https://t.co/GP30UJwNQK

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

We undervalue our own trained staff & watch them leave.We poach staff from countries where our salaries compare well but then they realise their wages can’t afford a decent living in UK,so use their UK experience & further training to get jobs in Middle East, Australasia, USA.

[Claudia Paoloni @drclaudia_p]

@Matthew0sb0rne Note doctors are not included and let’s hope we have enough that fits everyone properly to go round , else everyone will look a mess and very unprofessional
