Cutting doctors’ pay won’t keep them in the NHS.
The DDRB must show its independence and recommend what patients and the NHS need, not what the Government is prepared to pay.
Full statement: bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

@EE what is the point of having a data roaming package with you if it doesn’t work. What is your timeline for getting it resolved?
RT @TheBMA: Most doctors now have no confidence in the GMC.
So today we announce the BMA's NEW register for all doctors.
Sign up today to…

Great to have developed, and to be leading, today’s ’Organising for local action’ training day for BMA Midlands with @thomasdolphin

Co-Chair of @BMA_Consultants @ShanuDatta4 is at Labour Party Conference today to make clear that our members’ expectation is that #FullPayRestoration is a must
At Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. Plenty that they need consultants for. But no change to our bottom lines on pay and DDRB reform. @BMA_Consultants @trentconsultant @Andrew_Jordan_

I met with @BMA_SAS and Locally Employed Doctors at @nhsuhcw this afternoon
Members are fully behind @TheBMA Local Negotiating Committee at UHCW as we pursue two claims on their behalf
Unfortunately negotiations on these matters are not progressing to members satisfaction 👇🏻🧵

"If an incoming government under Keir Starmer wants to continue lying, then strikes will have to continue."
Healthcare staff are the only workers who have not received pay restoration, says Dr @RobLaurensonD4P, on the first day another wave of junior doctors' strike.

It's encouraging to see @fbunational members sharing our concerns over the use of PAs & AAs in the NHS. Today we thank them for passing their motion, highlighting the impact of deskilling a public sector workforce where expertise in public safety is crucial.

The letter thanks the union for passing a motion on the concerns shared over PAs and AAs working in the NHS and the impact a substitution of doctors with non-medically trained staff has on patient safety.

UNCOVERED 💥 🎥
The Tories have finally folded and told us what they have been doing with our director @JolyonMaugham’s data…

Lovely speech from the new West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker thanking Andy Street for his service
Andy Street spoke beautifully too.
They both have such an obvious pride in their home.
Compare and contrast with Susan Hall in London 👀

31/ It's becoming increasingly clear to me that failure to address pay erosion in the NHS is an existential threat to the NHS itself.
A poll recently (by pro-gov Daily Mail), showed most important @rishisunak's 5 priorities- is REDUCE WAITING TIMES- even in Tory voters in 2019
Dr Rinesh Parmar retweeted
30/ Indeed @thebma have been crystal clear with the DDRB & government
"IF THE 2024/25 pay award following the DDRB process is UNACCEPTABLE, they would take FURTHER REPEAT STRIKE ACTION to secure the pay awards their skills and expertise deserve."
You HAVE been warned
Dr Rinesh Parmar retweeted
29/ .@thebma have been clear with the DDRB that even if new ToRs for DRRB are voted through "DDRB must take these into account now for the 2024/25 round, particularly IF WE WISH TO AVOID FURTHER INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES."
Dr Rinesh Parmar retweeted
28/ So I have gone into some detail about the "past", now we must turn to the future. And the future is @payreviewbodies i.e. the "DDRB".
@bma_consultants are still voting on the changes to DDRB (which affect all doctors), & have submitted evidence 👇

27/ I need to state that I have only charted "junior" & consultant pay as they have the best data which are "official stats". SAS grade doctors (who voted 'no' to their deal) & GPs (yesterday voted 99% to reject their imposition) have seen similar, if not worse & are more complex
Dr Rinesh Parmar retweeted
26/ And again like I did above with public satisfaction, lets take the medical satisfaction line (left; orange) and transpose it to the pay chart (right; black).
Its easy to see what is going on here. Deliberate destruction of pay causes destruction of service & satisfaction😔
Dr Rinesh Parmar retweeted
25/ The official staff survey data report only went back to 2019 above, but I have trawled the data back to the start of austerity and its more *SHOCKING*
Pay satisfaction has fallen off a cliff, nonemoreso than for doctors = the largest falls since 2019 = recipe for MORE IA👇
