NHS doctors still earn £18.62/hr. They’re asking to move to £22.67/hr over time - fair & reasonable.
Yet even the overtime reforms Wes Streeting promised last year to keep shifts paid fairly haven’t been delivered.
If old pledges are broken, why should new ones be believed?
Big news.
The Government has published plans to transform funding for medical students in England from 2027. This would provide medical students with full tuition and maintenance support for every year of study. (1/3)
What I'll never understand is this is always sold as providing relief to the doctors. We dont want relieving from our clinical work. We need relieving from the non clinical commitments that take up so much of our time we cant develop our clinical skills

At King’s College Hospital, doctors said they’re being forced out of the NHS as they can’t get training jobs.
Unemployed doctors, no training jobs, pay too low to support their families.
Patients wait months for care while politicians look away.
What is happening to England?
England is 40,000 doctors short of the EU average.
Yet fully qualified doctors are unemployed, some driving Uber to get by.
Waiting lists remain at record highs while government policy blocks doctors from working.
This is political failure on an industrial scale.
At St George’s hospital today, I spoke to a doctor who had always dreamed of being a paediatrician.
They couldn’t get a training job here. Next week, they start work in New Zealand.
We’re driving away doctors while patients wait months for care.
This is the NHS in 2025.
Spoke to all doctors at Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's Hospital.
Doctors were as worried about job security as pay.
However, many doctors don't trust the government to deliver on non-pay issues.
A multi-year pay deal to FPR remains the simplest way to resolve the dispute.
Our ballot for industrial action over the specialty training places crisis and restoring pay opens on 8 September.

The NHS is in a perpetual winter crisis.
Patients wait 12 hours on trolleys while trained doctors sit unemployed.
This is political failure.
The solution is simple: hire more doctors/nurses, open beds, and value the workforce.

The government is talking about a multi‑year pay deal from 2026/27 and non‑pay issues, yet it has already failed to deliver on a key non‑pay commitment: reforming exception reporting.
If the government fails to offer anything substantial, we must escalate to industrial action.
I'm running for London Council.
I negotiated the 22% pay uplift, broke the locum cap locally as an f1/2 & won back incorrectly deducted strike pay.
I'm standing with an experienced & driven team to scrap the locum cap and revise London weighting.

People understand if their hairdresser, nail technician, dentist or dog groomer hasn’t got capacity to see them that day.
GPs don’t have endless capacity, and we can’t build any more with the inadequate funding we have been given. That’s the reality.

Ignoring the fact that James doesn’t realise some women have had total hysterectomies. And therefore may not be in possession of a cervix.
It literally costs nothing to be inclusive in this instance. Why is it so hard for people to be a bit kind?
