3/4 You *CANT* fix waiting lists @wesstreeting if senior clinicians prevented from taking on additional shifts / WLI for fear of falling over this very real cliff (as pointed out by @DHSCgovuk), me 👇& many others made *MUCH* work by disastrous administration @nhs_pensions

1/ As one of the leading experts on pension taxation in NHS I've personally reached out to @trussliz @RishiSunak with my thoughts on this existential threat to the NHS & solutions

If you want #TalkToTony I'd be happy to explain this complex issue.

Read 👇& RT if you agree

Not your regular post-match press conference.
Wait for it.

This important thread👇was sent yesterday evening tagging @sajidjavid @RishiSunak- little did I know they would resign 20 minutes later.

I would strongly urge @SteveBarclay @nadhimzahawi to read this (& other threads of mine - see my pinned tweet).

Please RT ++ if you agree!

"Surgery is male dominated. It’s time it changed & us female surgeons are recognised."

Dr Zaituni Bokhari is a Paediatric Surgeon in Muhimbili, where she just led a team of 31 surgeons to successfully separate conjoined twins.

Share this so more girls can be inspired by her. 🙌

[Sarah Valentine 💙 @semjones1]

I'm a doctor. Current NHS pension taxation rules are unfairly hitting senior doctors hard with many forced to retire early/reduce hours. This crisis cant go on.

@JHowellUK as my MP, please will you attend @TheBMA pensions event on Weds 6 July

[Sarah Valentine 💙 @semjones1]

I wonder how many hours are wasted by NHS workers simply waiting for slow technology to work. Sigh…… #getthebasicsright #NHS
