@SteveBarclay You are losing staff at an ever increasing rate and you are doing nothing significant about it. As things stand my choices continue to be to either drop sessions or come out of the pension scheme entirely to avoid losing up to 2 months take home pay every year. Sort it out.

Full solidarity with my colleagues on the #JuniorDoctorsStrike today. No profession should have to ensure the onslaught on pay and conditions we have seen over the past 15 years, The only way out is up. 👊

The reality of being a consultant doctor in the UK currently. A tax charge more than 2 months take home pay *every year* because the government don’t understand the impact of their own tax policies. Why is there a staff crisis? @FT @thetimes @DailyMailUK @Telegraph @BBCNews

This is popping up on the timelines of many NHS consultants. Strangely doesn’t mention the hugely unfair pension tax which results in many paying to be at work for part of the year. I wonder why? #NHSCrisis

How does one define overwhelmed ? Is it the cancer patient cancelled for the fourth time? The vascular patient with acute limb ischaemia on a trolley for 10 hours? The ambulance that took 2 hours to arrive for a septic child? None of these? All of them? #NHS

For those replying “it is his choice” absolutely it is, if not a particularly politically astute one imo. The point is - is £125 for an entire year of primary care treatment (consultations / tests / nurse appts / physios etc etc) enough ? (Spoiler - it is not)
