£10 billion of unusable PPE to be binned
That’s enough to pay for 4-5 years of full pay restoration for ‘junior doctors’ in the NHS.
@VictoriaAtkins - you may need to reflect on this

'We haven't got enough money to spend £2 billion a year paying doctors, but we can find £8 billion a year to cut a tax that's only paid by the richest 4%.'
@BenKentish points out the flaw in the government's claim that the UK 'can't afford' a pay rise for junior doctors.

'They are talking about a pay rise this is in reality a brutal pay cut'
The government has announced pay deals for 2.5 million public sector workers as inflation hits salaries.

Today’s pay cut will come as a bitter blow for doctors across England, as it marks complete failure to recognise their sacrifices during the pandemic.
We will fight for the full restoration of pay lost since 2008.

And so we are stuck in this cycle. And every wave drags down our education system, drags down our health system, drags a few more people out of the work force, disrupts a lot of people's lives.
How is this sustainable? 11/17

Centuries ago this was known as 'faffling' - used to mean uttering incoherent sounds whilst achieving nothing, or to describe a sail that flaps uselessly in the wind.

A brief reminder that to 'spuddle' (17th century) is to work feebly and ineffectively, because your mind is either somewhere else, or hasn't yet shifted into gear.

Are you a final year medic who has been told there will be no shadowing for FY1? Or that shadowing will only be voluntary and unpaid (no mandatory shadowing)?
Please send me a copy of that email.

I know its for the Queens jubilee, but do you suppose that @HeinzUK know that in the US “Salad Queen” is gay slang for a man who enjoys a spot of anilingus?
ALT A close up photograph of a squeezy bottle of Heinz salad cream, that they have renamed “salad queen” - either in celebration of our head of state, or in celebration of rimming.

I had a meeting with @QAHospitalNews regarding 24/7 food provisions. I was stunned with all their plans that they have in store and how evident it was to see how much they care for their staff. I was beaming with pride! Thank you for all that you do! 👏🏽 #NoHungryNHSStaff

If you're a BMA member you will soon be receiving a voting pack.
We have seen a significant drop in real terms income in combination with escalating cost of living.
I’ll be using my votes to support candidates pushing for pay restoration.

Appreciate people are calling for more FY1 jobs, but let’s be real - what would we even DO with the extra FYs other than improve patient safety and doctor wellbeing by running a robustly-staffed service with more time for professional development and a greater buffer for illness?
