This win wasn’t possible without our combined efforts. Whether you took action by striking, or by organising in your workplace - it couldn’t have happened without us coming together. I’ll end with my favourite pic - it’s the Newcastle rally. 1200 northern doctors, one message.
A pay rally with 1200 doctors at Monument, Newcastle striking over pay erosion.

Graphics from @rcoanews.bsky.social today. Surgery needs an anaesthetist. We have record waiting lists yet we throttle the number of anaesthetists we train. We then ask them to reapply for their own job midway through training. Govt must fix this catastrophe as part of any NHS recovery strategy.
A graphic showing the 2 bottlenecks in training for doctors training to be anaesthetists. The first one had 3520 applications applying to 540 places. The second had 640 applying for 390 places.

#BlueSky is breaking through in Newcastle. I said it on the other place but let it be known on here that it is undoubtedly the best city in the UK. That is all, happy Sunday!
