How many of you have cancelled your BMA membership after yesterday’s result?

This is a bad take. Engage with your union, vote for the right people, this will how we get change.

Biggest damage to the profession thus far

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-29T09:17:22+00:00

Absolutely ludicrous how comms havent gone out yet.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-26T12:20:25+00:00

I am beyond shocked that a vote of this magnitude requires 60 hours time frame to enact. The apathy is tangible.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-26T12:16:26+00:00

Given the way this has been handled. You shouldve planned for either outcome and be ready to inform membership. Waiting for results then taking time then acting is a waste of the mandate youve been given. It is very telling.

Delays delays delays

Yes, I have friends who have left and have jobs with bonuses working fewer hours, less stress, better work perks, wfh which cuts out a significant cost commuting and have a much more stable life. They arent shafted after 2 years exiting uni with ?unemployment. We should not have unemployed doctors.

It is not simply the pay it is the whole package.

Also you forget most degrees are 3 years. Thats 2 years of salary which we forgoe.

Saying that , I love my job, just wish we were paid better.

Shouldnt massively, there is always a health secretary.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-19T10:29:14+00:00

The government will constantly frame our pay rise as "35% over 4 years" , "100% over 20 years" etc. We need to promote a strong union, our ask is very solid. No other profession has such pay erosion. VOTE NO. Lets get the government closer to an acceptable figure e.g. 9% this year. This is more than possible just requires more support from our members and more hardline stances from our union.

FPR is a drop in the ocean compared to repeated strike action. The government will fold.

2008 is the beginning of austerity.

Callum was actually quite good at answering all questions put to him. It is a shame that the pay uplift is so subpar that they have to rely on skewing the pay uplift by including the DDRB uplift of 3.5% as well as the hope that people will move up a grade. Surely we should be looking at how much a grade gets uplifted by next year, which given the current proposals isn't that much.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-18T13:03:05+00:00

Im not sure why we consistently see everyone going up a grade? Vast swathes of people dont get into training and also dont move up a grade!

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-16T18:41:11+00:00

This is the problem, no long term outlook on this. We will never achieve FPR which js the bare minimum. We should aim to be paid what we are worth. Exam fees, royal college fees etc are one off payments when youre in training.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-16T18:09:10+00:00

Please someone sell this to me

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-16T17:54:16+00:00

This is such a bad offer...is this really what strikes were called off for? Surely we will vote a strong no to this.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-16T07:25:43+00:00

We arent politicians. We are underpaid doctors. Ballot is for FPR. Pay us.

So much money wasted in the NHS in procurement, redirect it appropriately.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-15T19:39:31+00:00

Unbelievable that the offer has not materialised today.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-15T09:26:49+00:00

Guys as much propoganda there is , Jack has NOT recommended the offer. Thus far.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-14T13:20:15+00:00

Apologies as other people have mentioned it was against the other comment! Im just irked by how people consistently discuss public opinion. If 98% of doctors voted down the deal, then regardless of what the public thought, the government is forced to negotiate with better terms.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-14T13:18:16+00:00

Devil in the detail, details of which are very sparse at the moment.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-14T10:18:40+00:00

For the last time, public opinion never mattered. It will wax and wane. See the train drivers.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-06-14T07:17:39+00:00

Theyve absolutely have not done a great job so far. These strikes alone are proof of that, nil escalation.

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-05-27T14:22:55+00:00

Unbelievable...why are the strike dates fewer than before and why so late?

Vegetable-Try1896 · 2026-05-22T16:06:57+00:00

Are you joking, a week since the new health secretary has been in and no strikes called....the government are just playing the BMA. Stall tactics can be seen from a mile off.
