Amazing win for @bma.org.uk doctors on the Isle of Man: successful strike ballot leads to decent offer being accepted, with not a single day of strike needing to take place. #WinTogether www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-ce...

Out to support the @GMMH_NHS Drivers' Picket at 7.30 today. They are vital in the chain of clinical care, collecting blood tests and delivering meds. They got upgraded as Band 3 in June but the trust won't pay! Pickets all week - go to support them! #Solidarity @unisonhealth.bsky.social

This is the Litmus strategy that Mid and South Essex Hospitals have signed up to. Deliberately slashing pay then trying to "grip and control". Doctors, you can fight back. Organise with @the-bma.bsky.social campaign. #DoctorsStrike

Medical student funding is broken. Students shouldn't have to worry about how to pay bills, or afford food, or need to skip placement to work a part time job. We want to fix this! Find out more about BMA plans, and how you can get involved #FixOurFunding www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi...
