Brocha Goode says ‘this has always been about retaining doctors in the NHS’. Without fair pay and decent career prospects, he fears more doctors will leave.

This motion defending the rights of trans and intersex people and condemning the Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman was passed at Saturday's @BMAResidents Conference - thank you to these residents. The EHRC guidance arising from this ruling is deeply problematic.

🚨We’ve heard that doctors affected by the MRCP error are being told they will not be able to progress their HST applications. Urgent advice: do not withdraw any application & continue applying if you are affected. If you are prevented from applying keep emails and screenshots.


Doesn’t solve the problem but I try to make sure my patients know about the prepayment certificate as it’s not well advertised - £114.50/yr (direct debit option=over 10 months) so saves money as soon as they have one regular prescription (12x£9.90=£118.80) nhsbsa.nhs.uk/help-nhs-presc…

“Sorry I didn’t take my medication doctor, I couldn’t afford the prescription” How is this the state of healthcare in the England in 2024?!

UK public, look at how many of you agree with their proposals, as well as how many doctors. Despite overwhelming disagreement, the GMC proceeds anyway. Because ultimately, they don't seem to care. It's a terrible legacy to leave.

Today, we’ve published a report on the outcome of our public consultation on the proposed rules, standards and guidance that we’ll use to implement the regulation of physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs). The report: - details the key changes we have made…

Doctors are joining locally employed roles without plans for progression out of necessity, lest they join the ranks of under- and un-employed doctors. The apparent ignorance of this from the GMC is beyond galling. #StateOfMed bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

I always like these messages after writing about the two-child benefit limit, as if I’ve personally got 23 children I’m secretly trying to make the taxpayer feed. My personal “lifestyle choice” is: if you see children going hungry because of a policy, campaign to end the policy.

What don't you get about not having the money,have as many children that you can afford, don't expect the taxpayer to subsidise your life choices.

We are a new BMA, and we have teeth. We will beat bad disciplinary policies. We will dismantle the institutional racism brought by bad MHPS use. We will defend individual doctors collectively. An injury to one is an injury to all. #BMADispute #Solidarity

Today we entered into a formal dispute with @GSTTnhs. Doctors at GSTT deserve the same procedural protections as doctors working elsewhere in the NHS. BMA members look to your emails for a message from us and to complete a short survey. #InjuryToOneIsAnInjuryToAll ✊🏼

Less than 24 hours after the PM again blamed strikes for his waiting list failure, new statistics show 40k were added to the list in a month with no strikes. "He cannot hide behind this excuse" says @DrPhilBanfield in his response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Rishi Sunak seems confused about his pay dispute with doctors. #BattleForNumber10 Strikes are NOT to blame for waiting lists, which were already at a record high before any strikes started. And junior doctors are NOT the only group in dispute, as he’s already been reminded 👇
