I hate sharing horrific situations like this but another v young chest pain patient told to wait 3hrs for an ambulance. Decided to make their own way to A&E but sadly didn’t survive the cardiac arrest in their car.

Five years of medical school costing ~£100,000 and this was my payslip after nearly one year of working in the NHS as a doctor.
This is why we are striking. How can you survive on this whilst people’s lives are in your hands daily AND you’re understaffed?

As part of my GP rotation, I am rota'd to work 12 hour days every third weekend on AMU/A&E. I get paid £16 per hour (pre-deductions) for these shifts. I'd earn more tutoring GCSE students instead 🧐

Just stop and think how wild this is. An NHS trust TWEETING for staff to come in, even on their annual leave. No mention of extra incentives either.
It’s broken, not breaking.
We are asking all staff who are not working - and may be on annual leave - but would be available to work, to contact Site and Capacity as soon as possible.
We appreciate this is a big ask, especially this time of year, and greatly appreciate any additional support you can give.

32k is a terrible wage, especially for families.
That's £2200 monthly WITHOUT a student loan.
Average rent/mortgage is £1200 and £400 for bills.
That's £600 for EVERYTHING ELSE, including groceries.
Why are people so pressed about me saying £32k isn't a terrible wage. Yes doctors deserve more for the length of training, skill and stress of the job BUT my point was you can live on £32k, and many families live on a lot less.

Someone has very kindly pointed out that “survival” isn’t the most appropriate word. I fully appreciate that many people earn less than this and are able to survive. My message is about pay restoration and ensuring that doctors are paid FAIRLY for the work we do.

Many argue that striking is dangerous due to less staff, with concerns of patient safety.
Where is this concern of patient safety for the other 362 days of the year? Simple maths would suggest 72hr walkout is almost nothing in comparison. NOT striking is more dangerous.

Creating more medical school seats is like inflating a punctured tyre.
We need to work on retaining and training junior doctors first.
Create more training posts with a competitive salary and provide adequate financial support for medical students as a priority.
In 2010 83.1% of doctors went
into specialty training in the UK after
completing foundation training.
By 2018, this had fallen to 37.7%. Look what happens to the far right bar.

I reached out to Doaa last year to discuss Arabic lessons and I was just thinking about her a few days ago. I didn’t follow through but I remember telling my parents that I found an Arabic teacher based in Gaza.
She was killed by Isr**l alongside her other daughter.
Finally managed to do a “birthday party” for my daughter despite everything. Her happiness was worth the world.

According to them, PAs study medicine, just not the same as a doctor who studies it for 5 years.
