Last year, BMA members banked our progress towards Full Pay Restoration. Now we need to build.
We need to #StrikeForFPR if we don't get a pay offer of RPI+10% by April this year.

There is time for government to stop further strikes with a credible offer.
Unless that happens: we strike.

Respond to the Government’s proposals for minimum service levels on strike days which, if implemented, will significantly impact your ability to take safe but effective action 👇

Thanks for the responses so far! Really helpful to know the variation in allowances as we look to improve what is available for IMTs in the North West (we've previously been told it's the same across the country).
⚡IMTs in England⚡
My colleagues in the North West are looking to improve funding available to doctors in training for PACES courses. If you're an IMT in any region other than the north west, it would be really helpful if you could share how study budget/leave is allocated (1/3)
in your region. For example whether funds available or days of leave to attend courses for PACES are capped, timeframe for reimbursement. We have been told our current situation is a blanket policy across England - but we have no means of checking without your help! (2/3

The attacks on trans and non-binary people's healthcare from ministers are designed to:
1️⃣ ferment hate & fear
2️⃣ distract from #DoctorsStrike for #PayRestoration and shift discussion away from government #NHS failures, staff crisis and waiting lists

It's been an honour serving on the doctors committee this year. Thanks for all the support. I want to congratulate my local doctors vote candidates on their big success in the elections and wish them all the best in year to come. Until Gov restores our pay, see you on the picket!

Laura was an LNC rep with me in Dorset. We recruited her to be a rep after she started fixing things on a one person mission. She was a fab representative to the doctors at our hospital.
I think she'd be a great addition to the committee north of the border🧡✊
Running for @BMAScotland #SJDC was only allowed to write 100 words so please let me know if you have any questions.
