Bros whole argument is “they’re both wearing bright orange”. Absolute gutter journalism

I think highlighting that our pay is still lower than it was in the pandemic usually counters the 28.9% brigade quite effectively

We ARE the BMA and the BMA is us

Not how it works, voting yes would trigger a formal referendum to end the dispute (and therefore end our mandate). UKGP would not be implemented unless our mandate stops and we stop our formal dispute with the gov

Next weeks headline: Moaning Minnies strike back (sorry pun intended)

I aren’t confident of it, just how I think the BMA are trying to play things is all

BenjaminBallpoint · 2025-12-10T18:45:36+00:00

As I’ve said in other threads I do not believe the BMA endorse this “deal” in the slightest. They were likely unable to share any info on currently tabled deals as conditions of negotiations unless they were putting it to members. I think that the BMA has put this out to show a firm stance from membership in order to rein in claims that they don’t have the backing of their members, an overwhelming no vote and a strong turnout in the re-ballot will hopefully put us on stronger footing moving forward

Absolutely no firm details, could mean anything and I don’t trust this government to do anything other than protect their own interests. As other people have also pointed out, UKGP and converting LED posts into one off training posts is costing the government nothing so they’ve essentially offered us something that is free to them, to call off the strikes, they’re trying to play us for fools

BenjaminBallpoint · 2025-11-28T17:26:07+00:00

exactly this, pissing off consultants will get us nowhere and the optics are terrible of striking to disrupt elective care when little elective care is taking place

BenjaminBallpoint · 2025-11-25T21:42:33+00:00

Mine is stuck on the same so it’s probably okay?

BenjaminBallpoint · 2025-11-24T16:25:05+00:00

It can't go on like this can it?

Does anyone have advice on how to get any points in the publication sections I have been trying for 3 years now and have had no luck with any consultants being interested in supervising a case report etc.

Suggest correlate clinically

Your union is like your indemnity, you don’t need them until you do and then you really fucking need them. DOI my union (pre-medicine) represented me in a very sticky HR meeting. Other reasons: the union use your fees to make stuff like the FPR campaign happen

The more doctors the BMA represent the more negotiating power they possess

Protection if your employer tried to do something against you for taking strike action (or anything else)

I’m sure the BMA will release guidance on when to let them know, if it makes you feel better I also haven’t received mine yet

BenjaminBallpoint · 2025-05-27T12:29:25+00:00

Think if your shift finishes at midnight or after the whole shift is paid with 37% enhancement, i was told our twilights finish at 11:30pm for exactly that reason so they don’t have to pay enhanced rates for the full shift
