Equally true:

@TheBMA warns Secretary of State the NHS will die, should Labour lose the next election, because they refused to work with Drs & imposed unevidenced top-down reforms & dangerous contracts risking patient safety…

Good statement from the BMA (the trade union for doctors in the UK)

Sat listening at @TheBMA England #LMCConf where GP representatives meet on behalf of GPs looking after 69mn patients. We need a huge investment from the new govt. NHS gen practice is bedrock of NHS & only receives 6% of the NHS pie. Invest in us & we can deliver. GPs are incredible value for money

In our new podcast @drkatie.bsky.social and @davidwrigley.bsky.social discuss the huge challenges faced by general practice in England, and how the BMA GP committee is working to address these.

The @TheBMA did not do enough to advocate against the “take it on the chin” strategy in order to protect doctors, all other healthcare workers and the public at the time that strategy was tried.

Since Nick Robinson from the BBC isn't on BlueSky, you may not have seen this apology he posted on Twitter.

“SEEN in Journalism” is an anti-trans lobby group masquerading as a ‘free speech in journalism’ org.

Here it is desperately trying to target a student as well as belittle the BMA (because transphobes have been unsuccessful in capturing it with TERFs at senior levels - unlike other orgs!)

Oh good to know

1/ THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Whilst I'm grateful for the changes to LTA/AA, the AA and the dreaded #taper still remain. And here's your regular reminder why its PARTICULARLY unfair, and stupid, in the NHS (from @BMA_Pensions @TheBMA evidence to DDRB).
