Consultants up and down England are taking industrial action today. All we are asking for is #FairPay to make up for 15 years of pay erosion and reform of a “rigged”pay review body process.

This is vital to stop the exodus of doctors & medical brain drain.

@robdelaney on supporting the doctors out on strike

[Mark Toshner @mark_toshner]

If you want to understand why doctors strikes will not end any time soon and why this is a disaster, take the temp of doctors from contemporary surveys 🧵

You can’t argue with these numbers from the @FT can you @SteveBarclay ?

‘Nurses and doctors have seen a much steeper decline in real terms pay than the average British worker’

Just look at this, shameful:

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

The government could be trying to talk to NHS nurses to end their strikes. Instead, they chose to take them to court.

What an absolutely belligerent, bloody-minded approach to take with - of all people - our nurses.

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

The NHS is a terrible employer. The government needs to recognise that

Great to see another strong turnout at Dudley’s picket line today campaigning for #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike @BMA_JuniorDocs

[Mike Fusi @MLFFusi]

3rd day of industrial action at Russells Hall Hospital, some great chants, great public support in the dispute for #PayRestoration @TheBMA #JuniorDoctorsStrikes

[Dr Asif Qasim MA PhD FRCP @DrAsifQasim]

#JuniorDoctorsStrike is for #PayRestoration

My registrar earns £10k less I did 20 years ago at the same grade - that's not counting inflation

@SteveBarclay needs to negotiate a deal to retain doctors

This article is massively disingenuous, bordering on malicious. I’ll break it down step by step. Brace yourselves, it’s yet another 🧵1/?

A strike is not a day off
It's a protest

It's important we see you on the picket lines.

You voted for this,
Now do the needful!

[Dr Robert Laurenson @RobLaurensonD4P]

There are so many issues with this article which seems to have been framed to fit the government agenda.

Disappointing because we were explicit about a number of things.

@sarah_aslannnn My current trust is paying rates not a million miles off this and it does definitely incentivise to pick up shifts! I can’t believe how many people agree to work for £30-40/hr

[Alex Psirides @psirides]

@todguest As requested, here's a thread on how consultants are paid in NZ. I'll break it down to allow comparisons with other healthcare systems. The preferred terminology is 'Senior Medical Officer' (SMO) or 'Specialist'.

[Dr Robert Laurenson @RobLaurensonD4P]

Tomorrow our profession will be given the opportunity to vote for a better future.

A future with better pay.

A future which is valuable.

A future which is safe.

A future which is happy.

A profession on its knees given the chance to rise.

Power to the doctors!
