"If we want to fix the NHS for patients in the future, we need to ensure that doctors we have trained are able to get jobs, while at the same time we keep the ones we do have by valuing them properly." @bma.org.uk deputy chair @redrunswick.bsky.social speaks about resident doctor strike action.

“We’re asking to get round the table to talk about a realistic, sustainable and credible offer that works for doctors and also, crucially, works for patients.”

Resident doctors committee chair @fletchjack.bsky.social speaks to Times Radio this morning.

"We don't have enough doctors and yet thousands of doctors are unemployed."
