We strongly oppose @MFTnhs decision to not pay for breaks for locum shifts.
If doctors are expected to be available throughout their shift, they must be paid for the full duration.
Doctors will not work for free.
Resident doctors in the NW, please attend our AGM tonight at 7pm to meet your new committee to hear what they have planned for the next year
Check your emails, link went out 12th August but DM if you need a new one

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.

Ward walk at Charing Cross Hospital. ✅️
Spoke to all doctors about the reballot and the need for another emphatic mandate.
The only language this government understands when it comes to pay is strikes.
Make sure you have updated your details on the BMA website.
#BallotReady – at Hammersmith, London

If @VictoriaAtkins wants doctors back at work she needs to #JustGetOnWithIt and come back to the table for the sake of patients across the country
This morning @Keir_Starmer made his thoughts very clear on @LBC that ministers should now be coming back to the negotiating table.

How can this be justified @gloshospitals?
PAs are being paid more than doctors to supervise and teach doctors while eventually leading ward rounds.
This job offer MUST be withdrawn.
Doctors, see how your roles are undervalued. You are slowly being replaced.
STRIKE

Govt wants to restrict ability to strike with Minimum Services Level bill
We know strikes have been safe
Your evidence could prevent unlawful use of MSL
I responded to the consultation, took 5 minutes
Have you?

Tomorrow we go again. The government has left us no choice. No negotiations, no credible pay offers. They can end this today.
Please support us at pickets. We deserve to be valued more than successive pay cuts.

After waiting hours to speak with @ITV on the picket line, they have let us know that they have heard from Trust executives and patients at MKUH, and now they’re off.
Here’s what @TVRJDC Chair @DrMattBilton had to say:

Our latest survey of junior doctors shows a staggering 98.9% are worried about the cost of living.
In less than three weeks we’ll ballot junior doctors in England – and this is why. #BMABallotReady #PayRestoration
