Enough said! Doctors working hours should be regulated. You can’t trust the judgment of an overworked doctor. Even the most skilled doctors can miss what’s right in front of them when exhaustion sets in.

Tomorrow I’m going out on strike as a Resident Doctor in England. I don’t take that decision lightly. I became a doctor to look after patients, not to walk away from work. But right now, I’m watching A&Es overflow, ambulances queue outside hospitals, and patients treated in corridors even on non strike days; while doctors who want to work in A&E are competing 14 to 1 for training places, and around 5 to 1 in GP. 30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs this year; thousands of future Consultants and GPs turned away due to Government imposed caps on training jobs. Doctors are ready to step in. The system isn’t letting them. On top of that, after years of pay erosion, Wes Streeting has recommended a real tents pay cut for doctors for the next financial year. These factors in combination makes it harder for doctors to stay, to train, and to build a future in the NHS. Wes Streeting’s offer doesn’t change this. The headline 4,000 jobs he announced are a cannibalisation of existing locally employed doctor jobs, so the total number of doctors doesn’t increase at all as a result of his offer. There’s also nothing on pay, despite assurances we were on a ‘journey’ to pay restoration last year. The BMA offered to meet Wes Streeting as soon as the November strikes ended. He ignored the BMA for weeks. Instead, a last-minute rushed offer arrived from him with less than 24 hours to respond. The BMA put it to resident doctors. Nearly 30,000 of them said it wasn’t good enough. For me, this is about jobs and pay together. You can’t reduce waiting lists without training doctors, and you can’t keep doctors in the NHS while cutting their pay in real terms. Tomorrow, I’ll be standing shoulder to shoulder with Resident Doctors across England on the picket lines; not because we want to strike, but because we need a solution from Wes Streeting that’s actually credible. That still remains within the Government’s gift to deliver.
