1/2 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The media would have you believe NHS staff have had "bumper pay rises" and all is well, but the data released this week show another story👇. Real terms pay in the NHS remains⏬whereas its🔼for others. Everyone will be 👀 @PayReviewBodies very closely

Dear @VictoriaAtkins
Why do you persist in the misleading statement that junior doctors got the "most generous" deal in the public sector. These charts 👇 *VERY CLEARLY* show that *EVEN AFTER* 9/12 of the DDRB, they are *STILL* the group have the biggest shortfall by some margin (new data out next week, will no doubt, show very similar).
You should also note that both Scotland and Wales have offered higher pay awards to juniors.
Government have, in my opinion, been prolonging this dispute with juniors for far too long without making them a credible offer that can start to reverse this disgraceful erosion of their pay shown below.
You can put this dispute to bed by making a credible offer to bring about path to #PayRestoration.
But you have chosen not too. Thats a political choice. And poor political choices come with consequences.
Do the right thing and make them an offer today
My response to letter from @TheBMA Junior Doctors Committee 👇
These planned strikes are cynical and will harm patients. The BMA must call them off.

‘Call me, Barclay’ - Carly Rae Jepsen parody. @SteveBarclay has had months to meet @TheBMA to discuss pay restoration. A feeble, thinly veiled 11th hour tweet last night is an insult to us all. When you are ready to talk please #callusbarclay 🧵

At least when Liz Truss was Prime Minister there were fresh vegetables to measure her time in office.

Junior doctors have voted YES to strike action in England.
This is a giant step forward for junior doctors and #PayRestoration. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard for this. Keep an eye out for next steps. #BMADoctorsVoteYes bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/jun…

The NHS is completely BROKEN
It WASNT broken by COVID/Ukraine/inflation(*delete excuse)
It was broken by deliberate CHOICES to break it
RT if you want this/next government to make CHOICES to properly fund the NHS, reward its staff & provide better healthcare for UK population

Quite bored of this 'we were saying farewell to valued colleagues' line given people were not allowed to say farewell to valued relatives

We mocked them, belittled them, abused them, taunted them, lied about them, humiliated them, slandered them, said we knew better than them, undervalued them, overworked them, called them lazy, harassed them, vilified them, incited hatred against them, drove them to despair, but…
Final exams passed and allocated to my top choice deanery and jobs… what a crazy 7 days. South London I’m here to stay for a while longer.

More patients have spent more than 12hrs in A&E in the last 4 months than in the previous 11 years combined??
63,653 patients have faced a 12-hour delay in an A&E since October 2021
"To put this in perspective, from August 2010 to September 2021, a period of just over 11 years, a total of 52,181 patients were delayed by 12-hours or more in an Emergency Department." @RCEMpresident

Listen to this powerful description to @commonshealth of why being a GP is so dispiriting right now - 'being pelted with rocks'
Jonny Martin retweeted
I'm seeing an emerging narrative that the NHS has coped. It definitely hasn't for too many patients and we shouldn't gloss over that. The NHS doesn't implode, it just fails many more individuals and their experience is missed at the system view level.
