Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.
#JuniorDoctorsStrike
Solidarity today with the most compassionate, dedicated, tireless, brilliant colleagues I know.
What a badge of shame for your govt, @RishiSunak, that you’ve driven NHS nurses - nurses of all people - to strike.
Thank you, NHS nurses - you’re the best 💙
#FairPayForNurses
NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
“I’m afraid this book is the written equivalent of being forced to binge-watch that CCTV footage of Hancock’s hands all over Gina Coladangelo’s bottom. It’s absolutely nauseating.”
"In a new book, the former health secretary blames everyone but himself for Covid. It’s disgusting."
@doctor_oxford hits the nail on the head again.

Moving and vitally important talk from @KitTarka foundation founder about her son Kit who passed away from #Neonatal#herpes: remember THANKS this Christmas with your baby relatives: Think Hands And No Kisses https://t.co/orr7fpeGC5
If you are meeting extended family and friends this festive season, it is important to remember young babies with immature immune systems are very vulnerable to new infections of many kinds. Please remember to wash your hands and do not kiss babies who aren't your own.
We are delighted to announce the sale of our 2022 Christmas cards, designed by the wonderful Louise Lockhart aka @printedpeanut. We just adore these gorgeous designs she has very kindly created for KTF. Send some festive cheer and help save babies' lives! https://t.co/Hi4OVxI1iE

We would like to share a story about Baby B. Baby B died at only 11 days of age from #neonatalHSV and we have been working closely with her family to improve awareness in our trust. [1/16]
We’re asking parents and carers to be vigilant for symptoms of jaundice in children as we’ve detected higher than usual rates of liver inflammation in children. We are working with NHS and public health colleagues around the UK to investigate.
