GENERAL PRACTICE
There is a often a misunderstanding of what GPs do, & why they are increasingly vocal about workload, pressures, underfunding etc.
Spend your day speaking to 30-40 people who are experiencing life & all it’s complexity, you generally have an idea of the issues

There’s a lot of confusion about junior doctors at the moment. Who are they? How much are they paid? Why are they striking? I’m a junior doctor, and thought I’d do a thread on the topic, so that people can link to it when someone spouts misinformation

Any ideas good people of Sheffield?
@HelpSheffield can we get this back to its rightful owner? Must belong to someone who had their bike stolen. Judging by the contents it belongs to a woman studying medicine or nursing. Found on Wilkins st. Please share.

Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

Just to correct @borisjohnson's more lurid claims of NHS expansion:
1. Without staff, Nightingale hospitals are just spaces.
2. The alleged 7,800 “more” doctors announced last week includes medical students. Yes. The govt renamed unqualified students as doctors.
Facts matter.
