@NickFerran @perpetualSHO @HSJnews my point entirely

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@HaemoGuy welcome back! I've not said that, as you know. Not a scholar of language, are we? ;)

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@COPDdoc more importantly, the new contract does not make the gains I was looking for in any of those areas. Govt policy is not the decider.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@trentconsultant @COPDdoc @ShaunLintern @DrMarkMcinerney @TheBMA @DHgovuk who's striking over policy? I want to be safe, trained & paid.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@ShaunLintern @trentconsultant @DrMarkMcinerney I'm not predisposed to support BMA but this is scorched earth from DH. Totally destructive.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@ShaunLintern @trentconsultant @DrMarkMcinerney imagine the fuss if @thebma behaved like this. @dhgovuk deliberately sabbotaging progress

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@bluesaint72 @RoyLilley all this does is highlight we know nothing of what went on in negotiations apart from what @dhgovuk has leaked.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@dr_lungs and (maybe I'm atypical in this) for me it's less about how much worse the new contract is, but the missed opportunity to improve

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@dr_lungs agree there are gains & losses. Concern is even "gains" will inadvertently worsen continuity & are outweighed by losses anyway

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@dr_lungs "fines" (paid by trust, to trust!) only apply if breaks between shifts <9hrs; depend on woolly "escalation" criteria; no scrutiny

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@traumagasdoc we all have contributions to make to patient safety, both on ordinary and extraordinary days.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@traumagasdoc yes you are generally v supportive. Thanks. :)

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@dr_lungs safeguards on excess hours and guaranteed breaks between shifts far less robust than currently.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@traumagasdoc @EmWilliamsCCCU 12 days is enough for @DHgovuk to realise they can't cope with a strike. You should help them to this epiphany

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@dr_lungs: deteriorating training, safety, pay. All linked & worsening. All of which could have been addressed by new contract but weren't.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@EmWilliamsCCCU increasing number of critical "asides". Not out-and-out hostile, but critical of timing, lack of notice, etc. All off target

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@traumagasdoc you've missed the point: you should be asking your CEO to tell Hunt he needs to go back to the table.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@hnerva1989 @ShaunLintern no idea. Not a central issue for many people I think.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@ShaunLintern and for the record I really object to the term "referendum". It was a vote on a contract proposal. Which was rejected.

[SGH junior docs @georgesjuniors]

@ShaunLintern dunno. Not a vital issue for me, or, I suspect, many #juniordoctors. Erosion of t&c & destruction of training far more central
