A very good point by my esteemed London colleague Beware the erosion of your terms and conditions dressed up as some type of benevolent favour by your employer

I’m told some NHS trusts are trying to impose no carry over of Consultant AL. 2003 T&C’s state ‘subject to the exigencies of the service up to 5 days annual leave may be carried forward on application and taken in the ensuing leave year.’ Please inform LNC Chair of any issues.
This argument keeps rearing its moronic head. Errors arising from fully qualified doctors is not an argument to lower standards by introducing a new “associate” grade with less training, less education and higher risk. It’s an argument of precisely the opposite in fact.

Quite incredible to badge following terms and conditions of service and paying course fees in advance as ‘exciting news’ 😂 A blatant act of rebadging and overhyping what should have been happening in any case

8 weeks you say @VictoriaAtkins …? Can you tell the @UKFPO about this as they’re under the impression that 3 weeks notice is sufficient for 100s of newly qualified doctors to uproot their life, find accommodation, move to a foreign city and start their first job as doctors.

Consultants in Northern Ireland are to be balloted on industrial action. NICC chair @David_Farren outlines why they have taken this decision. Ballot opens on 7 May 2024 for five weeks. Join. Vote. Win.
Sadly common sense did not prevail @ERunswickBMA Dr Benn has suffered suspension from the medical register for peaceful protest (albeit peaceful protest made illegal by an authoritarian government). Absolutely outrageous.

A terrible decision by MPTS @gmcuk to suspend Dr Sarah Benn for 5 months for raising awareness of climate change This is a matter of conscience & not one which lowers public confidence in the profession The suspension should be lifted immediately Truly frightening precedent

Contractual requirement: Doctors should receive a rota 6 weeks before starting and a personalised work schedule 8 weeks before starting. Reality for these new doctors: You might not even know which city and hospital you'll work in until 3 weeks before starting. Scandalous.

As a minimum all of these soon-to-be doctors should - ▪️know where they’ll be placed 8 weeks before shadowing starts ▪️be informed of efforts behind the scenes to assign jobs ▪️have a timeline for release of placements & an opportunity for a Q&A session to address any queries

It would be a mistake for the govt or DDRB or anyone else to think that Consultant annual pay awards can go backwards now IA has come to an end following the 2023/24 pay offer being accepted. @BMA_Consultants members would rightly not stand for it. We need to see real progress.

Sunak, a man with a fortune of £700m, says of the current mental health crisis: "There's a risk of over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life." Raise your hand if most of those challenges were caused by this government... 🤚
Rishi Sunak says: "people are not three times sicker than when he came to power" I dunno, mate... rising cost of living, falling wages, can't get a GP appointment, hopeless future... Society is literally FAILING the majority of people, and you're wondering why they're sick?!
The leaflet sums up just how low Labour has sunk under Starmer To produce materials that scapegoat some of the most vulnerable people in the world (fleeing God only knows what) is the worst kind of punching downwards Labour is no alternative & this point a poor Tory tribute act

Yesterday govt was happy to nationalise debts of @thameswater - bailing out those who have profiteered, left it with huge debts & not invested in infrastructure Cost - £15.6bn Today govt is not happy to provide sick pay for mental health illness Cost - a fraction of the above

At our trust you can bank contractual leave (you have to take your statutory leave) in a lifetime allowance to save it up for a big holiday/ it’s paid when you leave and you can buy/ sell annual leave. Not sure if this is revolutionary but maybe it is!
I’m told some NHS trusts are trying to impose no carry over of Consultant AL. 2003 T&C’s state ‘subject to the exigencies of the service up to 5 days annual leave may be carried forward on application and taken in the ensuing leave year.’ Please inform LNC Chair of any issues.
If you have difficulty taking all your leave in one year through no fault of your own then you CAN carry over 5 days no matter what your trust says. It's in your contract
I’m told some NHS trusts are trying to impose no carry over of Consultant AL. 2003 T&C’s state ‘subject to the exigencies of the service up to 5 days annual leave may be carried forward on application and taken in the ensuing leave year.’ Please inform LNC Chair of any issues.
@Andrew_Jordan_ Also watch out for Trusts granting the 5 days but asserting it’s at their discretion, as if they’re doing consultants a favour for fulfilling their contractual obligations to them - it sets a dangerous precedent. And remember, local policies can’t supersede contractual rights.
@Andrew_Jordan_ @1JohnOni Yep that will be great for morale and retention
@Andrew_Jordan_ Although them playing silly beggars means even more incentive to - Book your leave at regular intervals. Don't cancel it to "help out". Make sure you take it all.
@Andrew_Jordan_ Very heavy-handed considering it’s been so hard for some colleagues to take leave due to industrial action amongst juniors and consultants (which I fully support obvs!)
@Andrew_Jordan_ Also, note that the right to take (currently, 28 days/yr) statutory A/L is enshrined in the Working Time Regulations 1999. If employers prevent employees taking it #in_practice they cannot prevent them potentially carrying over more days.
This argument keeps rearing its moronic head. Errors arising from fully qualified doctors is not an argument to lower standards by introducing a new “associate” grade with less training, less education and higher risk. It’s an argument of precisely the opposite in fact.
Tragic incidents should not be used to push the anti-Physician Associate agenda. PAs are not the only healthcare professionals involved in medical errors. itv.com/news/anglia/20… theguardian.com/society/2017/a… telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11/2… bbc.co.uk/news/health-67…

@Andrew_Jordan_ Absolutely. Delivering that which has been obvious, low hanging fruit, of the past decade, is lip service. The fact they believe it can be sorted quickly says a lot about choosing to do nothing until they have too. Still too little. And very late.
8 weeks you say @VictoriaAtkins …? Can you tell the @UKFPO about this as they’re under the impression that 3 weeks notice is sufficient for 100s of newly qualified doctors to uproot their life, find accommodation, move to a foreign city and start their first job as doctors.
We're continuing our work to improve the working conditions of @NHSEngland doctors. Helping to make the NHS faster, simpler and fairer. Health and Social Care Secretary @VictoriaAtkins explains how this is just the start 👇
Consultants in Northern Ireland are to be balloted on industrial action. NICC chair @David_Farren outlines why they have taken this decision. Ballot opens on 7 May 2024 for five weeks. Join. Vote. Win.
Sadly common sense did not prevail @ERunswickBMA Dr Benn has suffered suspension from the medical register for peaceful protest (albeit peaceful protest made illegal by an authoritarian government). Absolutely outrageous.
Re climate protest GP Dr Sarah Benn: Dr Emma Runswick, BMA deputy chair of council, said there was "no possible public or patient interest" in such circumstances for proceedings where potential sanctions included the removal of a doctor's licence.
Contractual requirement: Doctors should receive a rota 6 weeks before starting and a personalised work schedule 8 weeks before starting. Reality for these new doctors: You might not even know which city and hospital you'll work in until 3 weeks before starting. Scandalous.
🧵We are 79 soon-to-be Doctors who are supposed to be working in the East Midlands, starting in three months. However, we don't yet know what jobs, hospitals or even which city we will be working in. We are distressed, angry and fed up. [1/2]

I’m standing to be the next MP of Southport. An Independent that won’t be whipped to vote against my communities interest. Won’t rely on corporate funders. I’ll only answer to the community that elects me gofund.me/c5c46fcb
We had a full and frank discussion with the DDRB this afternoon. I’m not going to be drawn on what we said but our core evidence is here bma.org.uk/media/42ukwmhj… they have work to do on pay, pay and pay.
Unbelievable.
The leaflet sums up just how low Labour has sunk under Starmer To produce materials that scapegoat some of the most vulnerable people in the world (fleeing God only knows what) is the worst kind of punching downwards Labour is no alternative & this point a poor Tory tribute act
