Only paying doctors what we're worth will address the NHS workforce crisis and bring waiting lists down.

Pleased with the DM article that accurately sums up some of the values I live my life by (albeit they used some unkind words to do so), plus they chose a flattering photo.
Anyone feeling solidarity with me is very welcome to donate to the Strike Fund too! bmastrikefund.raisely.com/

@SteveBarclay I’m sorry you felt the need to target @BMA_GP in your speech, when your minister @NeilDotObrien knows how constructive & pragmatic I want to be.
Speak to your local GPs on our patch - online access is a natural progression, but it needs to be safe for patients.

"I would like to ask whether you have communicated your concerns directly to the Prime Minister who, tonight, could similarly write to me and open pay negotiations with both junior doctors and consultants?" Read @DrPhilBanfield's reply to NHS England's letter on patient safety.

Hey @RishiSunak we’ve had to cancel NHS patients this week. Not because of strike action but because we have an insect infestation and mould in the roof space. Any chance you could invest in the NHS its people, building and equipment? bbc.co.uk/news/health-668079…

Our next strike is NEXT WEEK on 20-22nd September in England.
We'll start with Christmas Day cover on Wednesday, together with @BMA_Consultants, and then we'll stage a full walkout on Thursday and Friday.
