With an aging population where the continued health of the nation is key, doctors are needed more than ever. Pay restoration is the floor, not the ceiling.

Also, until the day my loan stops being charged RPI levels of interest I will refuse to compare my pay erosion with CPI.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

13/ In summary, pay is still WAY DOWN in NHS & public sector. Despite the narrative from some the media, this problem has not been sorted. The process has started.
But it must continue @PayReviewBodies

The public sector is watching👀. Closely.

Absolutely disgraceful. What a great incentive to do a medical degree 🙄

@SmallzAlex @Fad1878 Congrats @Fad1878 🥂🥂

Thanks for asking

As some one who has worked in the NHS for 35 yrs and examined its working throughout that time my list of what needs changing would start with

Stop breaking the system by defunding it in the name of efficiency. It is way beyond the point at which trying to cut things can improve efficiency. It is doing the opposite. Now not enough diagnostic centres, not enough doctors, not enough beds (numerous reports - ask @NuffieldTrust or @TheKingsFund or @HealthFdn)

The rest are relative minutiae but areas to address include

* understanding that promotion of the private sector as a realistic alternative to the NHS is flawed. The private sector can do sone things well (low risk procedural
stuff) but is no substitute for real NHS hospitals with the full gamut of services (staff, systems, space)
https://t.co/5UEr0DJIGc

*don’t dumb down medicine.
There appears to be a concerted effort to suggest that medicine has become less complex, easier to learn, answers available on google etc and as a consequence medicine can be taught over a shorter period and the role substituted by others who are notably less trained/qualified.
The truth is that medicine has become more complex, delivered to ever older more complex and more comorbid patients with ever higher expectations (most of which are actually met). https://t.co/MBvAISjraq This all happens in the framework of an environment in which litigation (certainly costs and numbers to an extent) is mushrooming. https://t.co/96MGGYPbjc While there may be value in working in new ways the lie that doctors can be replaced by less qualified alternatives because the job has become easier is misplaced, disingenuous and dangerous (as well as quite likely being cost-ineffective). There is a danger these systems will be brought in without testing of efficacy, safety or cost effectiveness.

* IT systems that are slow, outmoded, inefficient and don’t talk to eachother. Wasting thousands of hours of clinicians time every day.

Hope that is enough for now.

At the core it is FUNDING.
No point in reform without funding.

@bthftSPaRCTeam @BTHFT @ObsAnaes @BTHFTCharity @BTHFT_OMS Thank you! And for your help with the project!

[Kelly Sugden @KellyLSugden]

Great to share the work we have been doing at @bthft with #perinatalanalgesiaweek & pleased to report we won best oral presentation @ObsAnaes scientific meeting. Thanks @BTHFTCharity for generously funding our initiative! @BTHFT_OMS @bthftSPaRCTeam

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

The NHS is completely BROKEN😢

WASNT broken by COVID/Strikes/inflation (*delete excuse)

but by deliberate CHOICES to break it

RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, #reward staff & provide better healthcare than 👇 for the UK population

[Kelly Sugden @KellyLSugden]

@HMRCcustomers Nope. It’s a complete mess. My previous job refunded me tax in Feb. My new job taxed me in Feb. And my new employer have refunded the tax in March.

[Kelly Sugden @KellyLSugden]

@HMRCcustomers No. I had to rotate to a different hospital. But there has been no overlap. I have only had one employer at any one time.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

NEW: WORRYING data from the just released NHS staff survey

Only 32% of medical & dental staff satisfied with their pay, down 23% from 2020 & greatest drop by *far* of all groups.

RT if you believe it’s because government deliberately eroded doctors pay the most #PayRestoration
