Nearly 3/4 of doctors plan to retire EVEN earlier due to the LTA freeze. This will adversely impact patient care in our constituency. @TheBMA are holding an event for MPs to avert a workforce crisis. @TommySheppard as my MP, do register here: bma.org.uk/RetentionCrisis
DISGRACEFUL: Example doctor👇 This is what @RishiSunak wants to do to your pension on Wednesday by removing indexation to the LTA (which may never return).
(Yet another) stealth theft of your pension worth between £187k-£303k.
Feeling underavlued? Pls RT if you agree scandalous

Many of you will have received one of these nasty brown envelopes from @nhs_pensions this week. If you have (and even if you haven't) you may need to take action. Pay attention and share (please RT) with colleagues who may need this!
Please RT: For every critically ill patient with Covid we recruit to @GenomiccStudy with @GenomicsEngland , we need to find someone similar who tested positive for Covid (virus or antibody)but didn't get very sick. We need people from across UK:

Help us spread the word so we can raise £250,000 for @NHSCharities by the end of the final Around the World in One Day this Thursday.
One last epic ride.
If anyone sees a green merida cyclecross 100 on sale any time soon can them DM me. Stolen from outside the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh today. Not the only ICU staff member to lose a bike this week 😡
I'd allocated myself a hundred quid to try and pick up a second hand bike, but as Chris Boardman has very kindly sorted me out, I need some help finding another suitable home for it. Charity ideas?
Thank you for spreading the word. And thank you for the kind offers of loans. I'm one of the fortunate ones at present who is able to work so I'll be able to sort myself out. My kids have demonstrated a new use for my cycle helmet

Healthcare workers everywhere are working longer hours and extra shifts. Travel by public transport is against government advice; if we get ill, we can't care for the sickest people in society. Stopping punitive parking charges at work would be a big help @NHS_Lothian & elsewhere
Better decisions made with up to date reliable information. Currently the data is not there. Trials are ongoing that will not only produce interesting research in months time, but that are directly feeding back to the Department of Health influencing UK policy.
