Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today

Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt

I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay.

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.

Pls RT if you agree.

Not a particularly normal looking femur either! Definitely got some kind of proximal expansile lesion.

[The BMA @TheBMA]

We have revoked the derogation granted to Weston General Hospital. It has become apparent that both the BMA and NHS England were misled over the level of staffing cover. Either local management were unaware they had sufficient senior cover, or they deliberately misled us.
