The article closes with “if we have money to spend on NHS staff, doctors are not at the front of the queue”. To that I simply leave this graph.
Pay us fairly, or we keep leaving. It’s really as simple as that. Doctors are highly trained professionals, and should be paid as such

Junior doctors at #JDConf22 have just voted to campaign for full pay restoration, after years of real terms pay cuts. #OverworkedUnderpaid

"We were there, but who is there for us?". @DrSarahHal and Mike Kemp, JDC co-chairs, introduce conference recognising the massive and ongoing personal impact of COVID on junior doctors across the UK. Now it's time for that sacrifice to be recognised. #JDConf22

"the system was already breaking apart at the seams [before covid]..."
@DrSarahHal & Mike Kemp - excellent co-chairs of @BMA_JuniorDocs - remind #JDConf22 of the persistent @TheBMA lobbying of UK govt & health bodies, but the massive issues that our NHS & workforce are facing.
Imagine there was a pot of money to spend on the trainee doctors in your trust. Can't be spent on salaries or services. Must be spent in the next month. What would you buy?
I know I'm late to the party, but I am extraordinarily excited to finally get my mitts on a @RainbowNHSBadge which I have been seeking at every trust I've rotated through for ages! 🏳️🌈 #TransRightsAreHumanRights

It's Workers Memorial Day.
>600 health & social care staff have died from covid.

We are disproportionately exposed & scandalously underprotected. Especially true of BME staff.
We are still wearing PPE they downgraded from WHO standards in March last year.

A bit (extremely) fed up of the superficial & glib discourse about wellbeing.
The medical work force are not just cogs in a machine that need a regular oiling with a “well-being” token gesture.
We are real people who are genuinely struggling. (1/4)
As a doctor, I kept forgetting to turn off contact tracing at work - but I wanted to use the @NHSCOVID19app nhs.uk/apps-library/nhs-covi… - so I automated it. Here's one way. Pass it on!

“I’m just so scared” he told me. “All my life I wanted to be a doctor. But I can’t sleep. I worry about getting it. About giving it to my family...”
I reached out and took his hand, a human gesture in an inhuman world.
“Have you completed your COVID risk assessment?” I asked.
Feeling a bit surreal, but this is Picadilly Circus, and I'm in column B row 3, black hat. @ArtistTalkMag
