More than 4000 doctors left the UK to work abroad last year - the highest in a decade. NHS doctors are being driven out by low pay & impossible working conditions while patients wait months for care. @wesstreeting must value drs if he wants them to stay. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Why is the GMC, a registered charity, holding £51.7m in reserves? What could they possibly even do with that money? Why are we paying £463 a year to the GMC for them to run such a huge surplus?

I'm running for London Council. I negotiated the 22% pay uplift, broke the locum cap locally as an f1/2 & won back incorrectly deducted strike pay. I'm standing with an experienced & driven team to scrap the locum cap and revise London weighting. Vote:elections.bma.org.uk

@posikles @therawlucy The most striking part of the medical substitution and deskilling agenda is the extent of deception, corruption, erosion, and influence that enables those replacing doctors to portray themselves as victims.

I have never pretended anything different. There is a clear agenda to deskill doctors and substitute them. It is a shame that there are nurses out there who are happy to facilitate the displacement and substitution of consultant doctors supervising registrars - the consultants…

On the train today, I was talking to a family member about going to see their GP. A man overheard and cut in: “GPs are useless. They don’t do anything. You’re better off seeing a specialist.” The reality for GPs? Ten minute appointments to unpick complex problems. Hundreds of…

GPs and GP registrars - RCGP voting is open. Ballots close 5 Sept. I’m backing Malinga, Cheska and Elliott for RCGP council. I’ve worked with all three; they fight hard for GPs and know what matters on the ground. If you want a stronger RCGP, vote. We can’t afford complacency.

The GMC needs a hard reset: 🔹Clear out current “leadership”. 🔸Full democratisation of the council and all key leadership positions. 🔹Binding vote of no confidence processes. 🔸Return to doctor only regulator status. 🔹Spending surplus rebate mechanism for working doctors.

What an unbelievably arrogant way to handle this. Doubling down on promotion of the CV of one candidate when simultaneously trying to apologise for promoting them. This is a farce.

I don’t know this doctor but they’re standing for election in the college. The college should do better and respect a period of purdah rather than giving an obvious promotion using college resources. This is unfair and unreasonable. The college needs to make amends and reach…

RCGP Council elections are open! I’ve worked with Malinga, Cheska and Elliott over the years; they’re excellent advocates for GPs and understand the realities on the ground. We need strong grassroots voices on Council more than ever. If you’re a GP or registrar, please vote!

My mum today was talking about how she can’t get a GP appointment and has given up. She was shocked when I told her there are thousands of doctors who want to be GPs but the government won’t fund the healthcare system properly, so they were turned away from GP training.

You were saying @wesstreeting ? @DHSCgovuk @BMAResidents @TheBMA

When you book a GP appointment, you expect to see a GP. But that’s becoming a luxury. More and more patients are being seen by anyone but a doctor. Meanwhile, qualified GPs are out of work because there aren’t enough jobs for them. That’s not by accident. It’s by design. Yes,…

I’m proud to be among the 5% of working class people who made it into medicine. I went to state school, worked hard, and have been an NHS doctor for over four years. But if you’d told me back then that doctors would one day end up unemployed; not because they weren’t good…

The GMC has lost the trust of the profession. They are no longer a fit or fair regulator. Today, @TheBMA is taking a stand. Doctors: sign the petition and demand a new regulator that puts patients and doctors first. e-activist.com/page/172664/pe…
