On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question Dr Tom Dolphin was not on strike on the date of the shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11th August 2023. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Dr Dolphin for any distress upset caused. I will also like to add that I understand that Dr Dolphin actually donated his pay for the covered shift which I believe was £1870 to the BMA strike fund and whilst I do not agree with the strikes I want to go on the record to say that I think it is a very unselfish act on the part of Dr Dolphin to put his money into something he strongly believes in. I will make the same contribution to compensate the upset I may have caused Dr Dolphin. Please Repost.

The problem with the NHS is very simple..there isn’t enough capacity. There aren’t enough GPs, hospital doctors, nurses, physios, OTs, lab techs, radiographers, etc…. We currently have less hospital bed capacity than Mexico. We have the second lowest in Europe.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Health secretary @SteveBarclay out in force today attacking doctors for striking. Only one question counts: Why is he refusing to get round the table to talk? The BMA wants to negotiate. Why doesn’t he?

[BMA Consultants @BMA_Consultants]

Read BMA Consultants Committee Chair @Vish_Sharm's letter to @RishiSunak on reaching an agreement to end the pay dispute. You can also read our full press statement here: https://t.co/AjdG7H9W0x

The UK is becoming so surreal.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

Today's article in @TheTimes makes the false claim that pay loss is "a national phenomenon". In fact, doctors have been hit harder than any other group. Source - @TomHCalver Sunday Times: https://t.co/pYNTc1oaM0
