From today, some employers, seniors and rota coordinators will tell you things that are not true.
Some are clumsy mistakes, some are attempts to undermine your will to strike.
The media will attack you and your reps.
Here are some mistruths you may hear:

"You are x type of Dr, you can't strike"
All types of care are included in the strike. GP trainees, Emergency and Critical Care - you can strike.
Some doctors e.g. Armed Forces, Public Health are ineligible. If unsure if you can strike, check BMA FAQ

"You need to tell us whether or not you're coming in"
You do not have to tell anyone whether or not you will be taking strike action. Employers should plan for all junior doctors to be on strike.
Contact your local BMA representative for support if they get insistent.

Like many others workers, we must take action to save our profession ✊🏻
- 10,000 junior doctors have left the profession in 2021
- 2/3 of juniors do not apply for speciality training
- 12% never return to training
We are #OverworkedUnderpaid

While workload soars, junior doctors pay has been cut by more than a quarter.
Adding insult to injury, junior doctors were offered a paltry “pay award” of 2%

A crippling cost-of-living crisis, burnout, and below inflation pay awards are driving hard working doctors out of their profession, at a time when we need them more than ever.
That's why we’re calling for full #PayRestoration

I've been relatively quiet re: strike action (other than likes/RTs, and posting a ballot paper pic) and that's likely due to a lot of reflection/being busy at work. I spent my whole life in/out of hospital as a patient and have seen how the provided care has deteriorated 1/n
over time. I started working in the 2nd wave of the pandemic and in no uncertain terms it was an absolute mess. I raised concerns after concerns and was ignored/disciplined/gaslit at all levels. F2 was better (aside from a terrible rotation in GP) in no small part due to 2/n
vaccine rollout and its changing the way that covid changed patient presentations. Since 2016 i've been in hospitals in some form and have just seen steadily worsening conditions for all staff not just doctors, and the impact of worsening funding. 3/n
