Note to @BBCr4today & other broadcasters. Please stop referring to the failed “NHS Track & Trace App”. The NHS has nothing to do with it. This was an un-tendered commercial app, endorsed by @MattHancock & given to SERCO to deliver. SERCO & Hancock failed - not our NHS.

Kemi Badenoch earns £96,000 a year as an MP. She lives with her multimillionaire banker husband in Wimbledon. Kemi claims £36,400 a year for rent & council tax for a second home in Essex. Kemi doesn’t believe that junior doctors are worth £22 an hour.

A big thank you to ⁦⁦@RishiSunak⁩ for a an enormous kick in the teeth today! After 34 years in the NHS & spending the last 12 months caring for COVID patients, Rishi is forcing me & thousands of other NHS consultants to quit the NHS to protect our pensions. (1/2)

You wanted to replace the NHS with a market in health care. Well, this is how it works.

For those of you watching the painful just-as it-was drama by @doctor_oxford @jed_mercurio & @prasannabanana Dr Emma & Dr Ant are “junior” doctors. This is what they do. Their pay has been cut by a third in ten years. @RishiSunak is making them strike. They deserve better.

Just heard Dr Emma Runswick on Radio 4. She made it quite clear that junior doctors’ have no preconditions for negotiations - but the Government refuses to meet them. No one from the Dept of Health was willing to come on the programme. Where are you @SteveBarclay?

This is inappropriate propaganda coming out from a Government Dept. The civil service is supposed to be impartial.

The BMA has demanded a 35% pay rise for junior doctors. Here's their current average pay rates at different levels. digital.nhs.uk/data-and-infor…
Readers added context
The industrial dispute with Junior Doctors is over basic pay and these figures do not represent basic pay. It includes additional earnings on top of basic earnings, including pay for additional hours and compulsory shift work. digital.nhs.uk/data-and-infor…

This is a scandal! Lazy reporting/Government propaganda from the BBC again. This poor woman has been waiting three & a half years for an operation. A four-day junior doctors’ strike is not to blame. Where are the investigative journalists at the BBC?

Just a wee reminder to medical students & junior doctors about how badly paid you are in the UK. First & second year doctors would not meet Jenrick’s minimum salary to be allowed into the country. Keep striking for pay restoration! @TheBMA

A huge thank you to all the senior doctors who supported their junior colleagues’ industrial action by keeping our patients safe. This is going to be a long haul, but #WeAreOneProfession. Till the next time! #PayRestoration @TheBMA

At a time when doctors are exhausted & demoralised & needed to tackle record NHS waiting lists, Rishi is stopping doctors working. It doesn’t have to be this way. Rishi just needs to make the same provisions for NHS staff he made a few weeks ago for judges. #ComeOnRishi (2/2)

I’m a consultant in acute medicine. 95%+ of my patients have COVID. They cough. Coughing is an aerosol-generating procedure. FFP3 masks are needed for all clinical contacts. Public Health England must update its guidance & protect NHS staff.⁦ @TheBMA bmj.com/content/372/bm…

*BREAKING NEWS* @TheBMA has definitively rejected proposed four-year undergraduate medical degrees & “medical apprenticeships”. If @gmcuk won’t stand up for professional standards, doctors will. The profession is starting to stand up for itself. #ARM2024
