“Senior Doctors on £100,000 a year to strike”
Yes because they should be on £153,000 but their pay has been cut over 15 years.
Would you accept a pay cut?
Thats why they are striking and thats why they are fleeing the country
I’m 100% behind them

Dear hospitalists, if you think a patient is going to be off work for more than a week; stop telling them to go see their GP! Just write them a sick note! They are freely available in hospitals. Write the note for as long as you think the patient will need! YOU ARE ALLOWED

Please remember your GP has 7 minutes to see, examine, diagnose and treat you then 3 minutes to do the paperwork before the next patient is due to see them. Unbelievably hard job and most are trying their best with increasing patient numbers, less funding and high burnout.

Official GMC guidance:
If a patient request a white doctor….explore why they may feel like this
If a patient is racially agressive…..see if the person of colour is happy to continue with the consultation
We should be able to kick them out….end of
We are distressed by the racially and religiously targeted violence and civil disorder taking place in some of the UK’s towns and cities.
We recognise the significant impact these disgraceful acts will be having on doctors and other staff working in our health services, as well
