  6. Resident doctors in England will strike from 7am on 7 April until 6:59am on 13 April.

    This follows a vote to reject the latest offer from the Government.

    Unfortunately, it became clear in negotiations that the money proposed for pay increases was now going to be spread over three years.

    Strikes can be avoided, but the Government must act fast.

  7. Is Palantir the most evil company in the world?

    “Palantir in the NHS: Spy Tech, Gaza Genocide and the Threat to Patient Data”

    “A recent briefing by health and human rights organizations, including Medact and Just Treatment, raises alarm over spy-technology firm Palantir’s involvement in the British National Health Service (NHS). For years, health workers and patients have been warning against the company gaining ground in healthcare through the introduction of the #FederatedDataPlatform (FDP), which could allow it to coopt sensitive data for non-health-related purposes like policing and immigration enforcement”

  9. "Doctors’ union the British Medical Association (#BMA) faces strike action from its own clerical staff over its long refusal to offer an adequate pay settlement. The disappointing news comes just as NHS doctors begin five days of strike action against health secretary Wes Streeting’s damaging intransigence over doctors’ demands for pay restoration after years of real-terms cuts by Tory governments."

  10. Doctors are not worth 20% less than in 2008. They are taking on £120k of student debt. Immigrants who would help with the workload are being turned away and denied a pathway to settled status. And the richest in this in country have quadruped their wealth in the same time period.

  12. CW: The NHS - institutional issues - touches all forms of medical bigotry and prejudice

    @jaelisp We're AuDHD, so trying to reconcile opposites is our daily struggle 😅

    At a high-level, we see and resolve the seeming contradiction broadly as follows:

    Nationalised health services, free at the point of use and paid for by taxation (national insurance contributions) are a fundamentally good idea at their core and have the capacity to be amazing.

    That said, malicious forces will do everything within their power to erode any national public service, especially healthcare, for their own gain.

    These malicious forces include (but are not limited to):

    • Private healthcare companies.
    • Free market capitalism ideologues / extremists.
    • US-style Christian extremists.
    • Fascists, racists, and bigots in general.
    • Corrupt politicians (i.e., seemingly most politicians, sadly).
    • Successive governments trying to make the service ever worse over multiple decades to justify slow, creeping privatisation.

    It is not just being eroded from the outside either, sadly. There are ideological forces at work within the medical institutions themselves :Sighing_Face:

    We're talking (in no order) pervasive, insidious, institutionalised:

    • Transphobia.
    • Transmisogyny and misogyny
    • Ableism.
      • Fatphobia and sizeism.
      • Infantilisation of neurodivergent folks.
      • Lack of accessibility, especially on contact options, appointments, and support needs.
      • Stigmatisation of mental health struggles.
    • Queerphobia.
      • Homophobia
      • Biphobia and bi-erasure.
    • Racism and xenophobia.

    etc.

    Even the BMA reported on the systemic issues recently!

    BMA - Survey finds medical profession more ableist than wider society, with hundreds of disabled and neurodivergent doctors leaving the workforce

    Some issues are not the result of a lack of funding or expertise, but a fundamental refusal from the very top to change the way the system works.

    On gender-affirming care, for example, The Transgender Issue: An Argument For Justice by Shon Faye breaks down how gatekeeping, long-waits, and transphobia were baked into the system from its creation.

    Since its inception, access to trans healthcare has similarly been an ideological battleground. For those who need them, medical transition and contraception or abortion are – or should be – about the bodily autonomy of the individual, their right to mental well-being and the freedom to carve out their own destiny in defiance of prevailing gender roles. (These roles, should we need reminding, frame women as vessels for reproduction and trans people as threats to the strict separation of male and female sex roles on which patriarchy depends.) Access to abortion and access to trans healthcare are often attacked in similar ways: principally by overstating the incidence and likelihood of regretting either process, and an intense, disproportionate focus in the media on the stories of individuals who do regret their personal choices, as a way to undermine the principle of choice generally. Only about 5 per cent of women experience any degree of regret over their abortion. Multiple studies show the regret rate for gender reassignment surgery is even lower: about 0–2 percent. Despite this, the fear of regret has become a powerful tool used to justify the delay or withholding of treatment.

    and

    ... it wasn’t until the 1960s that transsexualism became a formally recognized diagnosis within the British medical establishment. ... Medical support for trans people, however, was still rare. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, individual trans patients continued to use the ambiguous and contested link between physical intersex traits and the psychological experience of gender dysphoria to get certain doctors to treat them – though, even then, few doctors would. A 1966 study in the British Medical Journal found that only ‘9% of psychiatrists, 6% of GPs, and 3% of surgeons’ would agree to actively assist transsexual patients. All of which effectively meant that trans people’s lives and destinies were dependent on the whims of a very small number of British doctors.

    Shon goes into detail about the awful Dr John Randell, who worked in the gender identity clinic at Charing Cross Hospital, including one part that tells you all you really need to know about him:

    Even when Randell had assisted with transition, patients often found him brusque, even cruel. ‘It hasn’t made you a woman, you know – you’ll always be a man,’ he reportedly told one trans woman who thanked him after surgery.

    She sums up his pivotal involvement as follows:

    It’s worth pausing to consider that the most powerful pioneer of trans healthcare in twentieth-century Britain was a cisgender male psychiatrist who believed neither in the reality of trans people’s deeply held identities nor that gender norms were socially constructed ideals that could be relaxed, challenged or abolished. He believed trans people were delusional about the reality of their situation and that at the same time they also needed to be highly competent mimics of gender stereotypes. He did not believe that they should be allowed freedom over their interpretation or expression of gender.

    In short, the NHS could be great, but the current systems are fundamental rotten at their core. In order to fix the NHS, we would need to break both it and the medical institutions down, rebuild them, and then spend decades building them back up whilst engraining a culture of empathy, caring, and non-discrimination into the training of all staff (medical and non-medical) across the board.

  13. Wenn im Möbelhaus das Waffeleisen vergessen wird, dann rappelt der Melder und wir fahren raus. Nur, um dann nach 1km wieder kehrt zu machen, weil sich heraus stellte, dass nur Waffeln im Eisen vergessen wurden.
    Mal wieder ein BMA-Fehlalarm vom Typ "Essen auf Herd".
    Aber für so etwas stehen wir ja sogar auch nachts auf.
    Hoffe es schmeckt. ;)

  14. @junesim63
    I agree with the BMA too. I have grave concerns about Palantir . It is like a evil octopus whose tentacles are reaching deep into our organisations aided and abetted by our ridiculous and naive government.
    Thank goodness for the BMA , the values of the NHS do not align with the values of Palantir and another system should be identified .

  16. I missed the memo when #juniorDoctors became #residentDoctors, but I feel it doesn't add clarity to the differences between medical personnel. My first suspicion was that the renaming was punishment for last year's strikes, but apparently not. bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/ju #NHS #healthService #UKpolitics #BMA

  20. you'll be unsurprised to know that while the #BMA is willing to go to ACAS for mediated pay talks, #SteveBarclay (through 'friends') as said there's an offer on the table, take it or leave it...

    One can only conclude that the #Health Secretary thinks by paying hard ball he can 'break' the #Doctors... even if in the short-term he may be proved right, in the longer term, this intransigence will have a major impact on Doctors' morale & recruitment.

    One more #Tory wrecking the #healthservice!!

  21. As this weekend's #doctors #strike enters is 2nd day, you will be unsurprised that the issue is essentially what counts as a 'credible offer' on pay & conditions; #RishiSunak & #SteveBarclay think what they have offered is 'credible', the #BMA (and doctors) don't agree.

    If I'm asked to choose between the #Tories & #healthcare professionals' view of what is 'credible' in the #NHS, you'll forgive me if I dismiss the Tory position, based on their engineering of the #NHS crisis in the first place!

  22. The #BMA is raising the stakes; now threatening that all doctors (from consultants & specialists to 'junior' doctors) will be taking #strike action before the next #election if the Govt. do not meet their demands for pay to increased to make up for its historic real terms decline.

    Given that #SteveBarclay for now continues to want to play 'hardball' we are heading towards a long(er) period of disruption.

    As always remember this all stems from #Tories defunding of the NHS;
