[The BMA @TheBMA]

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Sulaymaan Al Majid, a former @BMANorthernRDC co-chair.
We thank Dr Al Majid for his contributions, some of which we have listed below, which made a meaningful difference to the pay and conditions of UK doctors. Our sincere condolences to his friends, family and colleagues.

- Organised the big RVI picket line during resident doctor industrial action with national BBC coverage.
- Assisted and advised on various local SDT and work schedule issues highlighted by members consistently throughout the year, directly improving member's working lives and ensuring they were paid correctly.
- Proactively supported doctors across the region to know their rights regarding strike action and time out of training, including less than full time staff.
- Provided support to doctors regarding ARCP decisions and helped get multiple unfair decisions due to Time Out Of Training overturned.

This is the Litmus strategy that @MSEHospitals have signed up to.

Deliberately slashing your pay then trying to "grip and control" you.

No thought given to staff or patients.

Know your worth.

Do not pick up locum shifts for insulting rates.

[DoctorsVote @DoctorsVoteUK]

Litmus advised @MSEHospitals to cut down on local bank doctors.

This benefits agencies already ripping off the NHS.

Litmus is part of the same group as the agency "Global Medics".

Stand strong against the agency middlemen ripping off doctors and patients.

Resident doctors voted to accept the offer for 23/24 & continue the road to FPR.

Your DoctorsVote reps started the pay campaign and we will finish the job.

Strike action is the way to FPR & we are preparing for next year.

Save up, get your colleagues ready, we will win again.

Spotlight: Mersey

Brought the unfair treatment of doctors in Aintree to the public eye and resolved the dispute, resulting in a sign-off for a new Doctors' Mess.

Led a nationwide FOI request across every trust in England to gather information about how MAPs are (mis)used.

I’m heartbroken. Rest in peace, Jenny. I won’t forget you, ever. ♥️

My thoughts and prayers for your family.

It is with a heavy heart to share that the amazing inspirational legend @DrJennyVaughan peacefully passed away yesterday, Easter Sunday, surrounded by family. (@matt_theknife)

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I was deeply honoured to be invited to be a keynote speaker at this year's @RCPhysicians annual conference.

But after last night's #RCPEGM I can no longer, in all conscience, give my speech. I feel duty bound to share in public my reasons why.

[U Bhalraam (Raam) @CardioShades]

Be safe, doctors…

Last thing you want is to be struck off as a result of a PAs actions.

Refuse to supervise any PA activity not in the green column of @TheBMA’s MAP scope document.

Isn't it appalling that your future health and delivery of healthcare services in the NHS was decided upon last night by these few unelected individuals who will probably never need to use NHS services themselves - And that tens of thousands of doctors and patients who have concerns about patient safety were ignored.

It is extraordinary that decisions re who can deliver medical care was decided without going through Parliament. Democracy doesn't exist when it doesn't suit the government.

[U Bhalraam (Raam) @CardioShades]

Whilst we are all on strike #DoctorsStrike,
it is important to spend this time to check if your pay is actually accurate.

@Doctors_Vote's new Pay & Payslip Calculator is here:
