1/ NEW🕵️🧵: Good question from @wesstreeting but Im not so sure I understand the response from @mariacaulfield & perhaps more worryingly the response appears to me to be somewhat discrepant from previously published data by @DHSCgovuk

Pls share widely/RT
2/ This table is included in the response splits it into "age" and "early" retirement which the Minister describes as:

"Age retirements" are taken at or beyond 60 years old

"Voluntary early retirements" are taken before the age of 60 years old
3/ But this data also appears in the @DHSCgovuk to DDRB for example here for GPs starting at page 125 of

This is a *super* important thread. Sorry it's complicated, pls read ALL carefully & share/RT. Its vitally important you #knowYOURnumbers so @BMA_Pensions built a free tool to help - you could save >£100k Image
2/ @TheBMA @BMA_Pensions have been saying for years, that its crucially important we RETAIN the senior experienced workforce. There are a number of important levers to do this, including pay, pensions & pension taxation. Image
3/ As the annual & lifetime allowances have been whittled away over the years, the number of senior doctors opting for early retirement has increased as it simply #doesntpaytostay- particularly for those affected by BOTH the annual & lifetime allowances Image

How does this happen?
Rise in BP, from labour and the delivery process can affect blood vessels, causing damage to the brain’s occipital complex.

This causes partial or complete loss of vision. Most times it isn’t permanent, and patient may recover their vision after a while.
Hypertension, also causes other complications like Preeclampsia and Eclampsia. Which comes with raised BP, headaches, leg swelling, protein in urine, and in severe cases, seizures.

Hypertension is a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality in Africa.

This can be prevented.
