Good on Dr Gilby

NHS corruption is rife and this case is a prime example highlighting no real accountability

I wonder how many bribes of “non-jobs with NHS England” have existed to protect corporate reputation at direct cost to taxpayer and long term patient and staff safety

The BMA @TheBMA Jan 16

A landmark case for whistleblowers in the NHS.

With BMA support, a former NHS chief executive has been awarded £1.4m for unfair dismissal, reinforcing the need to protect those who speak up for patient safety. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Doctors pay still down 21% and deserve restoration

Streeting agrees, cannot restore lost pay overnight, wants fair path back

@BMAResidents agree (never asked for one go)

But proposing 2.5% for ‘26 (all inflation measures above) = real terms cut

Isn't going back let alone fair

"On jobs, actually we're not that far apart... We are still some way apart on pay."

Health Secretary Wes Streeting gives @annaefoster an update on talks with resident doctors after strike action over the Christmas period.

Except

- Respond to @BMAResidents in Nov

- Continue your ‘journey to fair pay’

(instead you propose to cut pay in 2026 whilst doctors still 20% down, being paid £18.62ph)

- Meaningfully address jobs crisis to create more consultants/GPs & reduce doctor un & underemployment

We did everything we could possibly do to avoid these strikes taking place at Christmas.

We'll now do everything we can over the coming weeks to make sure the NHS is there for you when you need it.

As @fletchjack says, doctors want a reasonable deal over a number of years aka a “journey”

For the record re: 28.9% doctors have received
- it’s over 3 years
- @wesstreeting unequivocally did NOT award us it himself
- inflation still occurred in that time so real terms was less

Thousands of resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, are set to strike from tomorrow for five days, despite receiving a nearly 29% pay rise over the past three years.

@susannareid100 questions @fletchjack, the Chairman of the BMA’s Resident Doctors Committee.

The @BMAResidents have been branded juvenile delinquents, moaning Minnie’s, out of touch with our grassroots

With an overwhelming 83% no vote on an 65% turnout these claims are put to bed for good

@wesstreeting the ball is in your court

The BMA @TheBMA Dec 15, 2025

Strikes will GO AHEAD from 17-22 December, after resident doctors in England voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest offer from @wesstreeting.
