After 14 years of pay cuts, doubling of pension contributions AND NHS pension raids by the Treasury, how does "Go fuck yourself" sound?

They don't understand that it's not just the threat of violence, but also the soul-killing death by a thousand tiny cuts that is existing as a woman. The constant disrespect, derision, criticism, blame, disappointment. It might "only" be 10% of them who rape us, but it's 90% of them that harm us.

Well, it's been a stressful couple of weeks inside and out of work for one thing and another but on the home run towards breaking up for Christmas and family back in the nest soon and have the bliss of clean fresh sheets and the little things make all the difference. And breathe!

Every one of these doctors needs a career and a future.

We need more training numbers.

We also need to support the careers of anyone who chooses or finds themselves without a training number.

Both are part of the solution.

We need to put on our own oxygen masks first. Without staff retention and a healthy, happy workforce, we cannot care for our patients to the best of our abilities and are doing them a disservice
NHS short staffing associated with at least 4,000 extra deaths annually.

High staff turnover & reliance on agency workers lead to severe consequences, esp. in A&Es.

Stable, well-staffed workforce needed for patient safety & quality care #ResuscitateEmergencyCare

So, I seem to have acquired hundreds of US democrat LGBTQ and neurospicy friendly followers, which is lovely, but I am very confused as to why, as a UK blood doctor, I have attracted such a crowd. Any ideas how this site is working?

My fellow secondary care docs

Please, please, if you think a patient you are seeing needs referring to us in haematology, just send the referral

Don't tell the GP to do so, they are not your house officers

There's NO contractual commissioning reason you can't refer directly between specialties

Can’t get an appt with a GP?

Yet there are 1000s of GPs out of work or struggling to find work
NHS England have cut the equivalent of 2 full-time GPs in funding from an average practice, whilst funding ‘additional’ roles via ARRS

£2bn cut in real term

Not additional then🤷🏻‍♂️ youtu.be/tI69wqP1_3g?...
