Doctors in Northern Ireland are falling behind those in the rest of the UK - DDRB uplifts need to be paid to all doctors in NI at the same time and at the same level as the other nations!

Congratulations to our Senior Girls' rowing team who recently competed against crews from across the world at the Henley Women's Regatta.

An extraordinary accomplishment, despite facing a tough defeat.

Good Luck at the Irish Championships!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ FOR ALL IN IPC.
YES, I AM SHOUTING,

BY COP TODAY, IF POSSIBLE, START AN ACTON PLAN FOR YOUR PLACE.

[Philip Pearson @respirologist]

@gmcuk Thanks; as far as I can see, you’re comparing dentists (four year standardised training; clear scope of practice & professional standards for decades) and PAs (two year training, standard unclear; no nationally agreed SoP etc)

Not sure what @GDC_UK or @TheBDA would make of that

[Austin Stack 🇮🇪 @austingstack]

Great article in @IrishTimes by @claireoconnell on the rising tide of kidney disease in Ireland. New opportunities to prevent complications with early screening, better surveillance and new effective treatments @hrbireland @DjmSexton @ULHospitals @HRI_UL

Amid doctor shortage, NPs & PAs seemed like a fix

Data’s in: Nope - American Medical Association

That finding “prompted us to really analyze the whole population”
“We moved to a model of a Doctor being the primary care provider”

Who knew🤷🏻‍♂️

Not sure that any of my children will follow their parents into Medicine.

However, if they ever considered it, I’d definitely be suggesting they work elsewhere. And major hospitals within striking distance just down the road.

In 1950, before a vaccine available, more than 55,000 Canadian children contracted #measles. It was the leading cause of blindness, deafness and 'mental retardation.' And more than 100 children died.
What is your point: That, in 2024, we should have more sick and dead children?

Standing with colleagues (human & canine) to support #JuniorDoctorsStrike at RVH today. @BMA_NI @NIJDC @BMA_JuniorDocs
We love our jobs but the current climate is unsafe, unfair, and unsustainable.

[Neil Kinnear @KinnearNeil]

Full support to our junior doctors who are out on the picket lines today @BMA_NI @BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA

Shame on our government for allowing such poor conditions and pay erosion to happen that it’s come to this @moneillsf @little_pengelly @RobinSwann_MLA. Needs urgent action.

[BMA NI Resident Doctors Committee @BMA_NIRDC]
