NHS staff… please stop posing for photos with this man! It’s embarrassing beyond belief. He doesn’t give a crap about you or the NHS, only his own personal fortune and those of his mates. Quit the symping! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

met staff and patients at North Devon District Hospital today sharing our plans to support the NHS this winter.
We’ve invested record sums and today we’ve announced an extra £200m - boosting capacity to make sure patients get the care they need.
No money to restore junior doctors pay, which would cost 1 billion pounds, but you have managed to find 7 billion pounds to bail out your banker mates… what a bunch of utter pricks you are…. In the sea with you all
Check you and your mates first…. You had a seat at the table for weeks and you decide to offer an olive branch covered in dog sh1t at 9.45pm on a Friday evening…… see you next Thursday pal
I urge
@BMA_JuniorDocs
to come to the negotiating table.
We owe it to junior doctors and patients to agree a fair settlement which recognises the hard work & vital role of junior doctors and wider economic pressures.
Read my article

“We are using a short term, cheaper, less qualified and non medically trained workforce to do the jobs of actually medically qualified doctors in the hope that we can bodge the numbers and make it look like we aren’t killing the NHS to force a two tier system on the UK”
Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates are already supporting NHS doctors to provide faster high quality care for patients.
As part of our new Long-Term Workforce Plan, we're boosting patient safety by ensuring that they are held to the same strict standards as doctors.
Dear consultant colleagues, please be LESS Kevin, in-fact please be NO Kevin. Support our juniors during the strike, respect their views, don’t trash them on Twitter and don’t throw a massive tantrum when they defend themselves after your poorly thought out statements.

This is child’s X-ray…. The “chips” non medics are describing are open growth plates and are entirely normal! There is a small effusion in the joint but without the other X-ray view, impossible to say if significant fracture. My money would be on there not being one!

@BMA_JuniorDocs
Maybe if you hadn’t cut their wages year on year for the last 15, you wouldn’t have such a big amount to make up…. Just a thought?? 😂🤡
I work 100% NHS, and about 25 % extra private. You do realise that private work is, on the whole, done in the consultants spare time, evenings and weekends, as well as their 48 NHS contract. It’s literally done whilst you sit and watch tv! 🤣🤣🤣

@SteveBarclay
I'm not arguing with your first 2 points at all. I'm suggesting that consultants that choose to earn £ by going private pay back their university training costs. Also I'm not questioning their morality at all, I'm suggesting private sector earnings pay back pub sec training
JD's might want to consider:
1. How many people on waiting lists earn as much as they do (note: 40% of adults don't earn enough to pay income tax)
2. How many will ever earn as much as they will eventually earn when they finish training.
3. What pay rise most will get this year?
@myobstetrician
Oh dear…. Why ever would you choose to do that? And you won’t be “working”… you’ll be covering emergency work, as per the Christmas Day cover agreement. I assume that any pay rise you get as a result of the action, you will be donating to a local charity or your juniors?
This wasn’t sent in error! It was sent by email from the exec office, presumably under direct orders…. Stop the BS and get those responsible fired. Typical NHS management behaviour.

@BMA_James_Steen
We are so sorry. An article was anonymously sent to the Trust &, as a procedural error, it was wrongly shared with juniors. We have apologised directly to our junior doctors and cannot reiterate that apology enough. We are so very sorry for any upset caused by a genuine error.

Award winning cardiologist…. He awarded himself an award! He’s a disgraced doctor who hasn’t worked a single day as a substantive consultant in the NHS…. Shame you have been taken in by this grifter
It was not wrong, it was a LIE. He is a liar. He lies to suit his government’s narrative of gaslighting the public and NHS staff in to believing they have nothing to do with the awful state of the NHS. Do not trust him and do no believe him.
Speaking on the BBC R4 Today programme, health secretary Steve Barclay claimed NHS consultants receive tax-free pensions.
This is incorrect. Pensions for consultants are subject to the same tax rules that apply to all pensioners.
State of this dude….. just to answer Tom, it’s lots….. lots of time spent in different specialities, different hospitals, different countries, different consultants….. maybe ask the rest of

How much medicine do you need to know to be a hand surgeon? We can get safe, skilled hand surgeons up and running in half the current training time. Why do MPs with a degree in medicine rarely become health ministers? The last was Dr David Owen.
This is a REALLY bad take in things…. Punching down and pulling up the ladder at the same time…. This is not the way the majority of consultants think.
@NigelMercer
@TheBMA
Maybe for you, not for the VAST number of consultant colleagues I work with. Classic pulling up the ladder and punching down at the same time. Not a great look for a senior consultant
@DrEilidhMaria
Try a displaced Gartland 3 suprachondylar fracture in a 5 year old with neuro vascular compromise at 11pm.Difficult when you work 32 hrs a week and haven’t been to medical school, sat MRCS, done 6 years higher surgical training and then applied for a consultant post in T and O
@SteveBarclay
Hahah! Top jokes mate…. I urge you and your Tory mates to donate their 25% pay rise over the last 10 years to the NHS staff… how does that sound?
@LittlePersonDoc
@DocAnonX
It’s an absolute shit show, thankfully the public are slowly moving away from the idea that the NHS is the only way. Home testing and tech advances will force change as NHS won’t cope. There are better systems.

@LeeAndersonMP_
you comments are incorrect and defamatory. I suggest you retract and delete the post or you could find yourself more than 30p out of pocket.
This is the Daily Fail we’re talking about
What actually happened is
@SteveBarclay
refused to negotiate
Well done
@BMA_JuniorDocs
- keep going, we’re all behind you
If
@NHSEngland
and
@theBMA
can’t trust hospital managers to be truthful about the seriousness of their situation - either because of managers’ incompetence or bad faith requests - it makes it harder to assess genuine requests for derogations to ask strikers to come back to work.
@VictoriaAtkins
Do one….. you managed to come to the table during the barristers strikes and resolved things…. You have it in your power to do the same. Don’t forget the consultants won’t be far behind the juniors.
@HapLockett
@TheBMA
Alexa, show me what a consultant pulling up the ladder, whilst punching down at the same time looks like! Nobody will think you are a hero
@DeakinSue1
Indeed….. but NHS management don’t want to hear anything that doesn’t fit their narrative! Standard NHS mentality….. there is NO freedom to speak up 🤬

@SteveBarclay
, not the junior doctors that work as part of your team in your department. As CD, this is a really bad take on things…do your colleagues/ MD/CEO share your views… do they post them on Twitter if so?
Junior doctors who are walking out on strike from tomorrow for the next four days should be ashamed If they care about their patients and people having treatment at the moment they would not do this if they don’t think they’re getting what they deserve, leave.
Dear
@thetimes
, it would seem that you are well and truly in they’ll pocket of the Tories, yet again, when it comes to the doctors strikes… trying to demonise them to the public won’t cut it this time round. Make better choices.

Nobody cares what John thinks…… careful not to hurt your back whilst pulling up the ladder, you might need an orthopeadic surgeon at some point! 😜😂😂🤡

@DrPJJB
What an awful take…. Punching down and ladder pulling from a position of seniority…. I pity any junior who has the misfortune to have “train” under your supervision.
Utter LIES,you weren’t allowed to engage by your boss, you sent a letter at 9.45 on Friday night after everything had been cancelled, you’ve known about this for months. You have no integrity whatsoever. Nobody believes you. Good luck negotiating now and with consultants soon…
We're working hard with
@NHSEngland
to mitigate the impact of junior doctor strikes this week.
@BMA_JuniorDocs
declined my offer to enter formal pay negotiations and I urge them to reconsider, pause strikes and come to the table - as the other health unions have.
