Resident Doctors

4 day strike previously affected 200,000 appts

Hospitals cancel 250,000 in the ave week
Patients fail to attend 150,000

Doctors aren’t the problem but by standing up for fairness they are being scapegoated & the population gaslighted

Let’s not let facts get in the way

NHS has a major problem - it has a leak - retention crisis

18,000 UK-trained doctors have left to work abroad
That's nearly one in seven UK-trained drs, representing a 50% increase since 2008

Imagine investing £𝟮𝟯𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗿 dr, only for it to benefit another country

That’s UK workforce planning

If MPs’ salaries had grown at the same rate as junior doctors’ since 2010, they would earn about £72,312 today — roughly £19,000 less than their actual 2024 salary of £91,346

That's why doctors are balloting on potential strike action

Nearly all the new funding as part of the 2025/26 GP contract is put into the core allocation
GPs will be able to decide how they want to use the £ to deliver care
To truly deliver care closer to home that is responsive to local conditions & local need, this direction of travel needs to continue
Cents And Sensibility: Micro Financial Incentives In The GP Contract | The King's Fund
The King’s Fund has looked into GP funding, and the extent to which GPs can decide how it is spent to meet local needs. Sarah Arnold shares some findings.

‼️Posting again for the uninformed‼️

The mainstream media, NHS leaders & Government have failed to support GPs

35m appts a month, 5m MORE than 2019

The combined TOTAL use of A&E/Ambulances/111 is LESS than the INCREASE in appts provided

GPs are doing this with less funding

1995-2025 done ! Many happy memories and leaving a great team behind. Next week Mel and I start our new venture @powandthomas.bsky.social . We spent ages on the name 😂 Supporting General Practice and doctors finances in a different way.

This is a plea to
@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social to fund core General Practice

The average GP practice has lost the equivalent of 2 GPs, a nurse & admin in funding over the last 8 years (20% cuts)

It’s good there are negotiations but patients want & need to see GPs

Funding needed! #TeamGP
