would you prefer an overworked, underpaid doctor blearily miss a tumor on an x-ray instead because of several months straight of 12 hour shifts?
Ahh so junior doctors are quite important then?
Maybe we should pay them properly? Oh wait
Maybe we should pay them properly and stop working them into bloody ground. Screw the tories and anyone who votes for them
Good
Given the age profile of those most likely to need treatment, and their voting pattern, Tories should think about that
Doctors should be valued way more. They are worth it.
Is it still classed as news if it was the most clear and obvious outcome? I feel like that’s just…..confirmation that more fuels added to the dumpsters fire
Government underfunding has caused the delay of thousands of operations!…this is the way!
Lovely. Just as I’m waiting for a procedure. I get why they are doing it, but it sure sucks to be on the receiving end.
Underpaying people has an unprecedented effect on people.
It’s not unprecedented unless you hadn’t been listening all this time
The warning were there from August. And anyone who doesn’t know what a junior doctor actually does has not been paying attention since the pandemic
Wow it’s almost like they’re invaluable to saving the lives of thousands of brits, should probably pay them
Pay doctors more! We could introduce a European style regulated personal healthcare insurance system, cut welfare and legalise and tax weed to fund it!
There have been many impacts of the covid19 pandemic which have had lasting negative effect.
But the most fucking irritating is the emergence of widescale use of the word “unprecedented”.
Pay. Them. Their. Worth!
Midwives, junior doctors, doctors, receptionist, cleaners,and everything else – they are all gears in our health care machine and they’re all essential in their own ways.
Pay. Them. Their. Worth!
And yet barely any of the media reported on them. Whereas a tweet by a person was front page news for a week.

“Junior doctor strike had unprecedented NHS impact”
How long has this been going on for now? Unprecedented? The only unprecedented thing is the 5% pay rise offered with a shit £1k+ one off payment.
Unprecedented? Did the government not know about the strikes that happened? Did they somehow not know in advance? Have they miscalculated how many junior doctors are in England?
If the impact is so large, then the government is relying on incoming Junior doctors as a crutch; not taking care of the lowest paid up to the highest is the issue.
Further reminder that nurses aren’t as important as they think they are, it’s the doctors that matter
Pret’s current salaries have baristas able to earn £14.10/hr while junior doctors start earning as low as £14.09/hr.
Support staff were fucked a decade ago as they were dropped as NHS employees and rehired by companies like ISS belonging to certain political donors at half pay and no benefits. Or rights. Or protections.
And the Tories just keep tearing down the NHS in order to claim it’s a failure. The goal is to change the system to a private one like the US or Germany, shovelling even more money into their donors’ hands.
I’m not a jr doctor. I used to be a CT radiographer. Our shift patterns are unsafe, unsustainable and borderline inhumane.
Weekends in my hospital are covered by just one ct radiographer for the whole hospital (including a&e)
This person works from 5pm Friday to 9am Monday without any official breaks. This 65 hour weekend is worked after already working a full 37.5 week (plus ot) then another 37.5 hour week (plus ot) starting at 9am the same Monday that the weekend shift finishes.
Wife needed to call a ambulance this morning as I was not sure if I was having a heart attack, she was advised it would take up to two hours, it came around 125 minutes and thank god I was ok.
The ambulance personal said that if one can they should try and get to A&E by car if they can as one has a better chance of getting treatment in time.
By the way I did ask him about the pay deal and his response was he and 20 of his colleagues are leaving Unison and joining Unite, both GMB and Unison should not be accepting this crap deal in my view and of course the government will beat the Junior doctors with the 5% stick if the others accept this crap deal.
The gov spent £70bn on furlough payments. The junior doctors worked through the entire pandemic, while everyone else was making 80% at home making banana bread. It would cost £1bn to restore junior doctor salaries to 2008.
Incorrect headline..’corrupt organised crime syndicate, posing as a country’s government, has had unprecedented NHS impact’.
Thirteen years of Tory government had unprecedented negative NHS impact
FTFY
Hope they get something sorted ASAP. I was in hospital back in December for an appointment with a surgeon and the guy looked broken.
Bravo! For the courage! To resist not striking for this long!
Then pay them a decent wage you tight sacks of shit!
Didn’t seem to make much of an acute impact on mental health services here.
Had junior duty/on-call doctors available every day of strike.
Some wards had their usual junior doctors working still, some worked due to loss of wages during strike, some had no choice but to work as they are on visas and would have to notify the home office if they undertook strike action thus maybe risking visa being withdrawn.
Overall things were as shit as they usually are, even when the juniors are around. Due to their on-call rotas and weird training allocation (seemingly a different ward/service every day of the week) it’s not uncommon for wards to not have juniors available during the day anyway.
Same as the nursing strikes had seemingly no impact on mental health services as every single service was derogated.
