In light of the current NHS Doctor pay discussions, now might be the time to say that I am currently being paid considerably more per hour as an “unqualified covid vaccinator” than I will as an FY1 doctor. The government has the money….

I can’t plan my life more than 6 weeks in advance, got rota’d in to work on the day of my best friend’s wedding and spend my life driving 3hrs down the m4 to see my doctor boyfriend because it’s basically impossible to get a job in the same city. What doctor benefits!?

EXC The NHS is too often run for the benefit of doctors, not of patients, Wes Streeting warns in @theipaper interview alongside Rachel Reeves. He promises a decade-long reform programme to empower patients to take control of their own care. Story:

My ST1 year has consisted of working in 3 specialties at 3 different hospitals. I’m all for a variety of experience but the mental toll of having to manage 3 different commutes, inductions, referral pathways and hospital guidelines has been 🤯 (Let alone learning the specialty!)

@antongyan @lifeoftazza I think you’ll find many nursing students have been utilised as HCA’s where there have been staff shortages for years, completely unpaid. Regardless of role, I think it’s time we evaluated the lack of financial support for all healthcare students expected to complete X hours 1/2

We have revoked the derogation granted to Weston General Hospital. It has become apparent that both the BMA and NHS England were misled over the level of staffing cover. Either local management were unaware they had sufficient senior cover, or they deliberately misled us.

@wesstreeting @Jeremy_Hunt I went to one of the largest med schools in the UK - we would frequently have 7+ final year students allocated to one ward on placement. Very poor learning and often most of us turned away. Much thought is needed about implementing this… plus the bottle necks as you progress!
