ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who claims "both sides need to talk" is at this point actively colluding with government disinformation What more can a trade union do than agree to talks, agree to ACAS, set no pre-conditions, and turn up at the secretary of state's constituency office

We visited @SteveBarclay ’s constituency office on Friday. His door was not open, even though he claims it always is. We left him the following letter. We urge him to get around the table with @TheBMA so that we can finally solve this dispute.

For non-medics: PLAB is the exam the UK makes nearly all international docs who move to the UK do to enter clinical practice. So almost all docs from India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria etc sit this, to work here NZ is now recognising it specifically to recruit those docs out of the UK

The Medical Council of New Zealand has made it easier for PLAB-passed IMGs to get registration. This has opened another route for the IMGs to leave the UK if they feel they are not getting fair treatment.

I don't like being angry on twitter, but I've now been messaged by 3+ friends who are new FiY1s and are experiencing really uncivil behaviour from colleagues. Ranges from [redacted] specialty being mean down the phone to current FY1s being mean in person. Be kind and grow up.

NHS Turing Test to weed out journalists sneaking into docs social media groups "A rogue pigeon has got onto the ward, who do you call?" "Estates & facilities" The reply is a daily mail fifth columnist who doesn't know the truth. Terminate conversation and ban immediately (/s)

We continue to be, as a profession, incredibly fortunate that we have @ERunswickBMA handling media interviews calmly and so articulately. If the press asks you for interviews in the days & weeks ahead, redirect them to the BMA press office & hold the line
