@MHG1910 @Shr_Nottingham I suspect they will be. It is likely that either they saw someone who didn’t have the skillls or didn’t have the kit to remove it. Referral to OP in 5 days would the back up plan.

@trentconsultant Looks like fresh strikes on the way for all 😅

Last year consultants in England achieved so much in our fight for fair pay, but still face 26% pay erosion. Why should we work 3 months of the year for free?

@ShaunLintern There would be much bigger gains by applying common sense and significantly reducing the burden of mandatory training.

@trentconsultant Is there any evidence yet that the DDRB is reformed?

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

BREAKING: UK @BMA_Consultants vote MASSIVELY in favour to "take Industrial Action" if there is *any deviation* from the agreement reached on pay reform with the last government.

All eyes on @PayReviewBodies and target to #PayRestoration

@LittlePersonDoc @Shr_Nottingham @Art_Li @DrLukeCraddock @gmcuk Arguably in today's NHS leaders are chosen *because* they won't speak up.

Trust CEOs, for example, are paid to oversee the collapse of services, keep quiet, and resign if necessary (with a hefty golden parachute) to deflect blame from the government.

@TJCoats None of the current major incident plans will work in the current situation.
If all the ambulances are stuck outside EDs you should get a good few hours from declaring an incident until the patients arrive, it might even take long enough that the ED could be emptied.

@goldstone_tony @nhs_pensions Presumably it would be possible to seek compensation for any loss incurred as a result of this, such as inability to plan for nexts years AA charge?

@clare_eliza If you’ve got a half decent EPR it is trivial to do. Metrics will vary between departments as working practices vary . You need a broad range of measures, over a decent period of time and compared with peers. DM me an email address and I can send you example SQL queries

@cruncherwax If the harm is being caused by externally factors, and the organisation is united against that harm, it is manageable. When there is denial about the harm then it becomes problematic.

@TomStocks1982 Ask them to record it as a religion. There is precedent for this.

@EM_Dr_Jacklin @DrLindaDykes If you can’t get a pan CT approved by a radiographer on an electronic request but focused CT requires tracking down a radiologist and having a discussion you may create an incentive to scan everything.
