Welcome to day 2.
Today we strike again to show the Government that we’re not backing down until we have a credible offer.
Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together. #PayRestoration
ALT A group of doctors protest, holding signs with messages like "CUTS SO DEEP NOT EVEN A SURGEON CAN FIX IT," "Need a raise STAT before I flatline," and "BREAKING NEWS Passion does not pay bills."

Work together. Strike together. Win together.

There are 166,315 patients on their waiting list.
Cutting waiting lists relies on doctors working extra hours.
Lowering rates risks understaffing, burnt out doctors & patient safety.
This is reckless.
Huge respect to @jinnieshinnie, @fiaglia & team for leading the fight
Today we have entered into formal dispute with @MSEHospitals over cuts to doctors’ pay for work they do over and above their working week.
With one week's notice, the new rates for this work have been cut by as much as 16%. This will only lead to understaffed wards, burned out doctors and increased risk to patient safety. We have urged the Trust to negotiate with us but they refuse.
We have no other choice but to take action.

"This is a moment to celebrate. It's undeniable proof that when we stand united, we win".
Hear from your RDC co-chairs @Melissa_S_Ryan and @RossNieuwoudt about the back pay lump sum most of you will receive this month and our ongoing work to achieve full pay restoration.

Good to see that some Trusts are taking steps to rectify their failure to pay the backpay to all past and current employees.
Let’s see if others will step up too
Trusts had months to prepare for backpay, it's unacceptable to delay payments before Christmas.
Thanks to your action & work by BMA staff & reps @nottmhospitals and @Leic_hospital have agreed to add a payment run for 3/12 and 5/12.
Time for Trusts in the region to follow suit.

Industrial action is not off the table if the DDRB fails to deliver.
Get ballot ready from January and be ready to take action.
Join. Vote. Win.

It's completely unacceptable that due to poor planning, some trusts will fail to meet their backpay obligations to resident doctors in England this month.
We continue to hold trusts and NHS Employers accountable for this.
If you do not receive your backpay in your November pay packet, please read the statement and FAQs: bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/…
Care to share why doctors have to chase their backpay? @Leic_hospital @NGHnhstrust @KettGeneral you’ve all had plenty of opportunity to plan for this, unacceptable.
bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…
“Doctors should not have to chase the NHS for their pay packets”
And we shouldn’t have to pressure Trusts via X either.
I’m guessing the list of Trusts failing to release all resident doctors’ backpay will surprise no one.
Do better.
Despite emails and meetings earlier this week, we are aware of hospitals in East Midlands who have said they will not pay their doctors on time
This is not acceptable. We were promised by @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting that resident doctors would be paid in November
UPDATE:
Yesterday management at Kettering reversed their controversial decision to cut rates for doctors in response to 100 doctors cancelling their shifts.
This was only possible due to the unity of grassroots doctors.

We are extremely disappointed @AoMRC has excluded @TheBMA from a meeting to discuss MAPs and doctors in training despite the inclusion of other key stakeholders including @NHSEngland, @gmcuk and ATDC. [1/3]
Doctors of Kettering, know your worth. You aren’t worth 1/3 less than a week ago.
100 doctors have taken the personal decision to cancel their shifts tomorrow in the face of these cuts, we stand with you alongside over 60 consultants at KGH.

Time for trusts and the government to stop short-changing and deceiving patients.
Time to halt the expansion of unregulated, lesser-trained, higher paid MAPs and work on recruitment and retention of doctors, nurses and other established HCPs.
