Problem - not enough doctors, consultants & GPs for the demand. Solution - train enough doctors, consultants & GPs. Reality - those who could have achieved this have chosen not to. Political choice @DHSCgovuk @NHSE_WTE @gmcuk @AoMRC. Leadership needed to reverse this absurdity.

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.

I've been involved in the scope creep fiasco for a long time. I am astute at identifying bulls**t when I see it. Two very common strategies used to legitimize the illegitimate are false advertising and gaslighting. Below is false advertising. One cannot claim a UK PA is a

At least the most potentially affected group- the MRCP members can sign this petition!

The shambles will hopefully end on 25/03 when there will be an uncontested presidential election
Until then, let’s show how much we trust them:

For members who chose to move to 2008 (so called "choice 2", we saw the first of this information last week - deep dive 🧵

NHS Pension Scheme
‘Interesting’ that it runs a surplus of over £4.6bn per year
NHS staff with their ‘golden’ pensions costing the country £Millions. Well it appears not to be the case 🤔

What a captivating and awesome @ChemBros concert Birmingham. I’m ‘Wide open’ to the loops, thrills of the build ups and intricate breaks/beats. Thanks for making that one of the best concerts!!

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?
Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.
Why? 🧵 👇

This year the government will give the UK’s banks £45 billion they have done nothing to earn. That’s because of QE and interest rate rises. At the same time they say they can’t afford decent pay rises for nurses, doctors, teachers and others. This makes no sense. A thead….
Awesome!!
Wow💥 what a time @A_rcadia thanks to everyone who came and danced and all the amazing crew who made it happen. here’s what it’s like in the 🕷️ with @eddychemical tearing it up ✌️#chemicalbrothers #glastonbury @glastonbury
