A national scandal is quietly unfolding in the NHS.
1000s of doctors are being blocked from becoming Consultants & GPs because the Government is restricting training spots.
The public aren’t being told.
Unemployed doctors while waiting lists soar is nothing short of madness.

Dismayed to see you sharing such a misleading & potentially deeply frightening video, Kim.
If someone is in 'unspeakable pain' at the end of life, they should see a palliative care doctor like me - & I can promise you there is always something I can do for your pain. (1/n)
Great to hear from @PrueLeith who knows all too well how the current status quo restricting choice at the end of life fails so many.

35/ Our NHS is on its knees. Staff (& voting public) know it. Its not due to striking NHS workers or (just) covid, but due to political choices @10DowningStreet

Booked a family holiday for Mar 24 in Jul 23. Spent months trying to contact the rota coord at the Trust I start at in Feb to organise leave. Told I needed to find swaps but not given contact details of other drs. It’s all become so stressful that we’ve cancelled the holiday.

The reaction of the UK Health Secretary on finding out that Physician’s Assistants are paid 35% more than the Physicians, and for less hours:

Tim Nye retweeted
Our pay is less than other professions, our OOH burden is greater and our progression is becoming more difficult.
When we try to talk about it, we’re called elitist and asked to “be kind”.
If people took the time to understand the situation, they might be kind themselves

Extraordinary response with Secretary of State for Health:
The NHS workforce can not be safely expanded by this group of associates with only 2 years of training
“it comes to standing up to the unions”
It’s now nakedly not about patient safety- it’s about breaking unions

Doctors have ‘saved’ the Government, Taxpayer & NHS, approx £10bn* since 2008
Doctors are asking for pay restoration, not a reimbursement of lost income
The request amounts to £35 per head of population per year, about £2bn
*If Doctors pay had increased in line with inflation

So disheartening to see this from a consultant in the department I’m currently training in. Thankfully all our other consultants (those actively involved in acute care for our patients, unlike Dr Johnson) have been so supportive of our decision and right to strike.

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.
At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.
Let’s dig deeper:
Pleased to be at @ICS_updates presenting work from @RoyalPapworth @PapCriticalCare on how to improve inter-ICU transfer communication #SOA23
