Brilliant two days with lots of top presentations, plenty learnt and even more to read up on. Unable to attend the final day at #Anaesthesia2024 but glad @Mike_Clarkson97 and I also got to play with some toys.
Idiots who voted for Brexit, is it sinking in yet?
The EU is not going to give you special status
German car makers are not going to save you
No other EU country is leaving
Ending free movement works in both directions
You were conned, manipulated and played like a cheap banjo.
@DrEilidhMaria Not seeing recognition really, rather acknowledgement of a need to be put in a better education and that being achieved, again, well done. Like me, you’ve been in both systems, therefore you know the difference.
@DrEilidhMaria Merely highlighting the inequality of opportunity and the chance for acknowledgment of a privilege. Regardless, well done on overcoming your obstacles
@DrEilidhMaria Well done you made it into the 6% of Children that can afford private school. Where standard of education as well as recognition and appropriate adaptation for neurodiversity is much higher. If only state schools had the funds to inspire kids to not give up on themselves

Strike hard
Hi @BimAfolami
Happy to chat about how your government have shut us out of negotiations
And even now, with no strikes, they still won’t negotiate with us
And how previous to striking we were basically told we’d be ignored until we had a strike ballot

This is why I support the #DoctorsStrike And last year over 7,000 doctors left the UK for better paid jobs overseas. If you want to save the NHS, you too should support the strike.
Blimey, the propaganda machine is very powerful.
I’m a supporter of free at the point of access.
We need to separate the important values from the corporate monstrosity the NHS has become.
Propaganda like this is only going to contribute to the loss of faith in the NHS.
Doctors don’t get subsidised food; they don’t get free parking; they don’t get free energy or free travel
Tory MPs get the lot- free parking; free travel; free energy; subsidised food & £2,400 pay rises.
Support doctors please. We need them. They are striking to save the NHS.
@SteveBarclay I’m sure you noticed the 7 hour wait yesterday then, patients and staff loved it. Looking forward to winter, can’t wait for this innovative work you’ve got lined up!
Ignoring the actual cash value doctors are paid for a minute, we hear the argument ‘everyone’s pay is down’
Yes- nobody should have their pay cut
But we are not in the same boat
Doctors have lost far more pay compared to almost all
Pay eroded 10x more than the average worker
'You seem to be using other words but the fact of the matter is we're losing GPs'
@susannareid100 questions the Health Secretary Stephen Barclay over the amount of GPs
Today, we announce a 3rd round of industrial action from 14 – 17 June.
The Government’s 5% pay increase offer is an insult to junior doctors in England.
