“It’s now a war & not what we have known before. Our NHS shall defend our nation, however hard it be. We shall fight on the wards, we shall fight in the laboratories, we shall fight in the community and in A&E, we shall fight in ITU. The NHS will never surrender to COVID-19”

Dear @NHSEngland Can I check that you know how much harder if is to ask front lines nhs staff to continue to work additional shifts often in areas redeployed when you are not offering them the protection they need? Front line staff need evidence based Pfizer vaccine regime.

The NHS is nothing but it’s staff. We had to Lockdown as nhs is running out of capacity. Lack of physical beds cured with nightingales but it’s staff that are needed; weren’t adequate numbers pre covid. Now even worse. 10 years lack of investment in nhs staff is to blame.

My mum just called in a panic. She is due her second shit of vaccine but is worried about getting a lung clot. To everyone like my mum with same worries........it’s COVID that gives you PEs. vaccines stop COVID. So Take the vaccine and lower your chance of a PE.

Imagine if public sector pay had been tracked to MPs pay for the last 15 years. There would not be strikes or a workforce crisis affecting our schools and NHS. We need a public sector pay lock tracked to MPs pay.

Why not use the % increase in MPs pay since 2010 as the basis for settling public sector pay disputes? Seems fair enough to me?

Thoughts from those of us involved in running hospitals please. Is it me or was the Planning for the acute covid surge easy compared to planning for treating covid patients over a longer term basis whilst planning for usual business? #mangerssavelivestoo

If it’s your first day as a Dr and absolutely bricking it then that’s a good thing. If your not - then as I Consultant I would be worried by you. Never worry about not knowing stuff or asking question. Always worry that you could become unconsciously incompetent.

To celebrate the nhs birthday, I don’t really want a clap this Thursday or 1 millionth bit of a medal. What I do want, is to see the nurses and junior drs I work with, paid a wage which allows them to buy a house near to where they work so they don’t leave.

If we have an extra £4million for schools, I’d rather spend it on teaching first aid than Latin.

Dear @TheBMA & @SteveBarclay Let’s be honest - patient care is at risk short term because of industrial action long term because of the recruitment & retention crisis affecting doctors. Please please agree to meaningful talks to solve the crisis & stop the strikes.
