The public have no idea how close we are to a two tier healthcare system in the UK
- a private doctor led for those who can afford it & an “NHS” PA led for those who can’t
It’s being steamrolled at a pace that’s truly breathtaking & it’s shocking to see the complicity of our own medical organisations
All of this being done behind our back - it’s a betrayal of the highest order!

🚨 NHS England director ADMITS there are NO jobs in the NHS for GPs completing training🚨
The government’s strategic plan to destroy primary care is working:
❌ >£660,000,000 funding to GP practices has been cut in the last 5 yrs
❌ The funding given (to help practices address the GP shortage) permits practices to employ almost ANY other role who are NOT a GP?!
All of this….yet RADIO SILENCE from the RCGP!

Police officer: I've been a police officer for over ten years and sometimes when I respond to a domestic call I say to the mother (who is the victim) 'how can you let your children go through this?'
Me: How many times in 10 years have a you said to the perpetrating father 'how could you put the mother of your children and your children through this?'
Police officer: *Silence*
And we wonder why survivors don't want to go the police and perpetrators feel permission to continue to abuse.... Gender double standards around parenting (low expectations for man as parents, high expectations for women as parents) is real and has serious, and sometimes, deadly impact. #StopBlamingMothers #StopIgnoringFathers @SafeandTogether mybook.to/mK39V
This is so well put.
Even those currently at the end of training/recently CCT’d have not had the same experience as people starting now or are students.
And we’re the ones they looked to, to see if it would be worthwhile. Their future has changed In front of their eyes
1. Medicine is rapidly becoming an expensive hobby- working class people can no longer afford to become doctors given the poor salaries and huge debts on graduation.
I am the son of immigrants - I couldn't speak English until i was 5-i was born/ brought up in longsight, Manchester- in the top 3% of the most deprived areas in England.

On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question Dr Tom Dolphin was not on strike on the date of the shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11th August 2023. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Dr Dolphin for any distress upset caused. I will also like to add that I understand that Dr Dolphin actually donated his pay for the covered shift which I believe was £1870 to the BMA strike fund and whilst I do not agree with the strikes I want to go on the record to say that I think it is a very unselfish act on the part of Dr Dolphin to put his money into something he strongly believes in. I will make the same contribution to compensate the upset I may have caused Dr Dolphin. Please Repost.

🎇Making plans for next weekend?🎇
Many of us love #BonfireNight! Wrapping up warm, eating toffee apples, + watching fireworks is a sure sign winter has arrived.❄️
But for some, the loud bangs + bright lights are distressing. For them, please stick to Rocket O'Clock:

All the “jabbing and cleaning” has resulted in infants born in the UK today having a life expectancy 12 years longer than when you were born and an 8-fold increased likelihood of surviving childhood than you had
This 👇🏼& just seen an ad for flu jabs for three year olds! If they’re perfectly healthy children we must let their natural immune system learn to do its job..we can’t just keep jabbing & cleaning, jabbing & cleaning & think it won’t have an effect on how human bodies have developed over centuries. We have more & more kids with immune systems that just don’t work properly.

A brilliant summary (as always) of why the numbers are important and doctors are striking in the UK!

In direct response to retired doctor Peter Hilton’s comments in correspondence with The Times, 55 consultants – some of who worked with Dr Hilton – have come together proactively to reject his views in the strongest possible terms.
Does anyone have a @TotterandTumble mat who has a dog? Trying to find out how they hold up with the extra level of abuse!
Thanks!

I know it's a long shot, but today I lost this broach somewhere between Inner Temple & the RCJ. If anyone might have seen it please can you let me know? It doesn't have monetary value but was my great grandmother's & means so much to me. I know it's likely gone but worth a try 😔

Junior Doctors - Have you ever checked if your pay is accurate? It probably isn't. Learn to check and you could reclaim $1000s! @LondonPaeds @BMA_JuniorDocs @rcpch_trainees @RCPCHtweets #RCPCH23

Need your help Twitter. A neighbour’s autistic daughter needs a new fire engine. It has to be this and only this one. Mum is desperate. Manufacturer Galey but no longer made. We can do this. Pls retweet.
I’m really lucky to have had the support I’ve received during my training.
This is a heartbreaking thread of how some trusts, departments & supervisors are failing our students/trainees/colleagues.
This is the sort of thing we have the power to change & make a difference with!
Hey @NHSEngland, @NHSScotland, and UK #Medtwitter
Those UK doctors who moved to my Aussie ED realised we never had an Exit Interview. We never got to share some of the examples of NHS culture that drove us away. Perhaps we can inform you a little with some anecdotes? 🧵
