Digging this tweet up from the archives. I'm working the night shift tonight because, once again, this Conservative government doesn't know how to treat a group of vital professionals. #JuniorDoctorsStrike
Today I will mostly be providing safe #EmergencyCover with my consultant colleagues. Good luck to the junior docs!

Personal view, and not necessarily that of any organisation with which I may be associated: I continue to unequivocally support my younger colleagues (“junior” doctors) following their announcement of industrial action on March 13-15.
