Due to personal commitments including surgical exams, I will sadly not be seeking re-election onto the UKRDC.
I've dedicated my life to the BMA over the past two years and unfortunately over the next year I won't have the capacity to do the role justice. 1/6
It's your LAST CHANCE to represent your colleagues by standing for election to your local RJDC. #VoteRJDC
Nominations close tomorrow. elections.bma.org.uk/

Etihad threatening to sue. UAE reportedly intimating that UK investment could be pulled. A Prime Minister couching any criticisism. If this sorry saga doesn't convince you that state ownership of football clubs should never be allowed, nothing ever will.

Me and 6 other orthopaedic registrars finished training this month...and no job in sight. And this is only in my region, and in my specialty.
Unless the Government increases the numbers of consultant and GP posts available, it risks creating a new workforce bottleneck.
Doctors at #ARM2026 have called for action. Learn more:

Bookmarking this for the next time he suggests doctors shouldn't be paid more.
P.S. we support the tube drivers.
'You earn more than doctors...I would suggest a resident doctor's had more training than a Tube driver.'

GMB negotiating team are ready to meet BMA management negotiators but a fundamentally different approach to that taken by the CEO and Board to date is needed.
Additional investment in the offer to BMA staff is required.
There MUST be an end to below inflation pay awards.

Realistic and reasonable about what the country can afford?!😂
You’re paying assistants to doctors more than you’re pay doctors;
Day one pay in central London:
🔸Newly qualified Doctor:
£20.36 / hour
🔹Newly qualified Physician’s Assistant:
£28.86 / hour
That’s 41.75% more.
Dr Tal Ellenbogen retweeted
Has the government forgotten its job?
It’s meant to provide patients with specialists.
Pulling training posts for doctors is a massive own goal from a government that claims it wants to cut waiting lists.
How do you reduce waiting lists without specialists?
Dr Tal Ellenbogen retweeted
3.5%? Yeah, right. MP’s 5%. Pay stats prior to 3.5%, Office of National Statistics and NHS digital figures.
Dr Tal Ellenbogen retweeted
MP pay uplift 5%.
Doctor pay uplift 3.5%.
The money is always there for MPs, not for anyone else.
Resident doctors have been left with no choice but to strike. Weeks of negotiations with the Government have failed to deliver enough progress on pay, with the goalposts being moved at the last minute.
We have called six days of industrial action to make the Government listen, stop the game playing, and come back with an offer that delivers fairly on both jobs and pay.

🚨 Reminder for all @GMBLondonRegion members working at @TheBMA

🗳️ Ballot closes at 12pm Monday 16th March
Vote YES to strike action to reject yet another real-terms pay cut for BMA staff
#FairPayattheBMA
Dr Tal Ellenbogen retweeted
It’s a YES.
An overwhelming 93.4% of resident doctors in England have voted for further strike action, giving a clear mandate to continue pressuring the Government on jobs and pay in 2026.
The overall turnout was 52.54%.
Stay tuned for updates on our next steps.
ALT An orange graphic shows figures holding placards reading 'Yes'. It shares that 93.4% of resident doctors in England have voted yes.
There are few certainties in life:
- death
- taxes
- doctors getting a real terms pay cut if we don’t pass this strike ballot
Return your @BMAResidents ballot today and ensure all your colleagues do too!

This is very good news for Scotland. I am grateful to everyone involved in the discussions. This ensures that the progress we are making in NHS recovery can be maintained.

Good news for doctors, patients and the NHS in Scotland.
Spot the difference 🏴🏴.
Strikes can and should be avoided, but they require politicians to negotiate seriously and in good faith, unlike @wesstreeting.
