All HC workers and TUs will be watching the NIA closely this morning. Choosing to pay cost of living increases by instalment is undervaluing staff, and will not be received well by the staff you rely on for care. Minister needs to be able to pay the uplifts in full. @bma-ni.bsky.social

In these ever-changing times, sometimes it’s just nice to know that some things remain the same.

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
