I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay. Turns out, the GMC do not pay tax. They class doctors' fees as charity. They take £500/yr from doctors, pay zero tax on it, and use it to give their staff £250k salaries and private healthcare.

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat. 99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.

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 is an anon account with 3 followers so writing a 🧵 will surely be a waste of time! I’m a consultant with an interest in health policy but anyone trying to claim they know what’s going on with NHS work force planning is lying. So read on if you want one person’s opinion…

If I hear ONE MORE politician promise "more medschool places" without FIXING these bottlenecks I am going to scream. I have already written a letter to @wesstreeting with very little in return. @SteveBarclay clearly holds docs in contempt. Aus/NZ are doing very well out of this!

Those doctors who striked, I urge you to check your pay deductions As per @BMA_JuniorDocs guidance you should be deducted 1/365 of your annual salary for every strike day and not the number of hours! (Unless your hourly rate of a day is less than 1/365 of your salary - unlikely)

“If doctors aren’t happy with their pay, they should get a different job” Yeah, we are. This is the most striking graph I’ve seen so far regarding the retention of doctors. Full pay restoration or watch the graph turn blue

Three years tonight since the first of the claps for the NHS We appreciated the claps! If you meant it then, please support doctors, nurses and other NHS staff now, as they campaign to make their pay worth as much it was before years of austerity and inflation stripped it away.

5% pay rise for a band 5 nurse starting salary of £27,055 annually is £1352. Realistically about £65 a month better off. With energy bills being £100s a month more expensive. Will be interesting to see how it plays out but it’s hardly inspiring…
