@tryinghard265 @TheBMA Hi I am a doctor three years post graduation and I am nowhere near this £80k - in fact I think I may be 10 years away from that at least with the state of training! Can you point me in the right direction? I’ve clearly been doing the wrong job!!

[Pheeb🐙☕️ @phoebee_b]

@DrEilidhMaria and changed my tax code for Feb onwards, and then further this April. Meaning I’ve spent the last 3 months trying to come to an arrangement with them that means I’m not losing an extra £650 a month in tax 😭 they’ve now agreed I don’t owe them £6.5k but it took a while (2/2)

[Pheeb🐙☕️ @phoebee_b]

@DrEilidhMaria Most of them in your account will have receipts of payment. Or I just searched in my emails for the receipts. Also beware, I did mine for the 1st time in Jan and as much as they gave me the tax relief, they also decided at that point that I owed them £6.5k(?!?!) (1/2)

@dru_jlh rejected from paeds, feeling very deflated with my whole career rn. “there’s always next year” sound, stuck in a JCF with a terrible rota in a speciality I have no interest in pursuing for the foreseeable

[Ollie Burton @ollieburtonmed]

It's worthwhile noting that specialty training posts aren't optional - the NHS and patients need them to exist in order for health services (both public and private) to exist. This shouldn't be anything to do with negotiations.

@The_Mr_Mo @adaobi__o I’m a doctor and my take home pay the last few months has been below £2.4k 🙂

for a girl that loves sleep and hates stress my career choice is questionable

Waving at babies is an art. Some of you aren’t real baby-wavers. Light and cheer doesn’t radiate from you. When you wave, the babies don’t laugh or smile, they keep a straight face like they don’t see you.

Seasonal depression “isn’t real” until you get a warm day in February and realize you’ve been dead inside for months

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

Everything is so broken for young doctors, especially my cohort and those immediately behind.

There isn’t a single good thing about a career in medicine (within the UK) anymore.

It’s honestly so depressing to see how much work you’ve put in, and this is your reward.

[Pete Robson @PeterRobson29]

Treat doctors like actual human beings and you might find a bit more of the good will that the NHS currently uses as a life jacket

Competition ratios in 🇬🇧 released

The total lack of thought around jobs vs performative “oh, we will create new med school places” is playing out as predicted

This is not a mistake
These concerns were raised by myself & others *pre-COVID*

I’d ask you to come to your own conclusions about why they are doing this*

*spoilers - it’s not for your benefit or patient care

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13.

@JamesHConroy @RCollEM 100% agree! I am enjoying the job and find the work challenging and stimulating, but there is noooo way I could sustain this lack of work life balance/horrific rota for more than a few months
