FY doctors are paying £1000s, spending hundreds of hours doing extra publications, audits, degrees, courses, to surmount a 16:1 competition ratio for ophthalmology ST1. Your actual registrars have done likewise. Depressing and disgraceful of a consultant to speak this way.

I would start off by going LTFT, but over time I'd probably realise that without the financial need, the system (i.e. NHS)-related stresses of a medical career are really not something to willingly put myself through. So realistically I'd quit and find new things to do.

A dependent workforce is inevitably reliant on the patronage of the workforce it is dependent on. Aspiring towards something unsustainable and unrealistic, and pretending you're something you're not, will lead to problems and undesirable consequences of your own making.

GP colleagues- please look after yourselves! You have been instructed now - eat your lunch, have your break, do NOT overwork. You MUST avoid getting yourselves admitted to hospital. Take care of each other, have protein bars and wear your cardigans. 💙💙
Under no circumstances will I supervise a PA. This is not the kind of person I would want to supervise - unconsciously incompetent and aggressive. Minefield.

Please consider signing this open letter expressing your dismay at the leniency of the MPTS’s sanction on NHS surgeon James Gilbert who, for over a decade, sexually harassed female trainees.

Until the people in power speak frankly about and address people's concerns over unrestricted migration and lack of integration, without resorting to the usual sophistry, this issue will not go away. The left has completely ceded the space for such discourse to the extreme right.

From October 23 to March 24, 102 doctor shifts were fulfilled by PAs at @TorbaySDevonNHS
81 of these shifts were for paediatrics.
There are NO paediatrics questions on the PANE. Just two weeks placement.
As I’ve said before they are now all moving to tiered rotas to…
RDC pay offer, if accepted, will result in these uplifts. Broken down to annual, monthly, weekly and hourly.
This is pre-tax and pre-student loan. My effective tax rate currently is 51%.
My only point of disagreement with @RobLaurensonD4P's assessment is the idea that there will be a sustained mandate for strike action following if this offer is accepted. If accepted defeatism will set in, as an offer that is not FPR has been accepted. I will thus be rejecting.

A. The actual offer is a measly ~4%, the remainder is not dependent on our vote.
B. The deal leaves us nowhere near FPR.
C. No commitment expressed at all to FPR.
D. For this we give up the indicatory BMA ratecard, as they want unchecked exploitation.
