We are aware of press speculation about our internal policy making process and the Cass review - please see our response below🧵1/4
The BMA continues to give extensive consideration to the methodology, findings and recommendations of the Cass review in line with the Association’s articles requiring us to ‘promote the achievement of high quality health care’. 2/4
This is a substantial process, making use of expertise within the Association, in line with the BMA’s internal policy making processes. It would be inappropriate to pre-empt our position, or to provide further public comment on those processes. 3/4
Abuse directed towards BMA members or staff is totally unacceptable and has no place in serious consideration of these complex issues. 4/4

We're hearing reports of NHS Trusts asking Physician Associates (PAs) to cover shifts of striking doctors next week.

PAs are not safe to provide cover for a qualified doctor of any grade.🧵1/5
All medical duties arising from the strikes can only be safely covered by medically qualified staff; our consultant and SAS doctor colleagues, who we thank for their continued support. 2/5
PAs can support our senior medical colleagues in providing this cover, but only if they're operating within our safe scope of practice. 3/5 bma.org.uk/advice-and-sup…

Statement on Dr Sarah Benn from @ERunswickBMA :

"We are very concerned that implementation of the current fitness to practise framework could potentially restrict Dr Benn’s ability to continue to be registered as a doctor, for taking part in peaceful protest..." (1/5)
"...relating to the climate change emergency. There is no possible public or patient interest served by holding a tribunal hearing where potential sanctions can include the removal of a doctor’s licence to practise in these circumstances." (2/5)
"The reality is that cases such as this risk adding to the sense of fear doctors hold about the GMC and the medical practitioner tribunals. We hope that simple common sense will prevail in this case...” (3/5)

It’s disappointing to see selective use of BMA member podcast content by a number of media outlets, with comments taken out of context and reporting totally misrepresenting the consultant committee’s position. We are not asking for a 50% uplift for consultants in England. (1/4) Daily Mail headline: "...
Consultants have been persistently devalued by the Govt, with their take-home pay being cut by 35% in real-terms over the last 15 years, and the supposedly ‘independent’ pay review body being repeatedly hamstrung by ministers who have interfered with the process at every stage.
In discussions with Government we were clear that, at the very least, our members would not accept another real-terms pay cut this year, and that we wanted a real commitment to a proper independent pay review body to restore the pay that consultants have lost over the last 15ys

Watch @_VivekTrivedi stand up to @SteveBarclay about #payrestoration for junior doctors on Sunday with @bbclaurak
"A five percent pay uplift this year would still amount to a massive real-terms pay cut...an offer which does not reverse that trajectory would not be fair or reasonable."
"No doctor goes on strike happily, no doctor wants to inherently go on strike."

This morning’s @NickTriggle piece for the BBC contains a number of misleading claims about the BMA’s upcoming industrial action.

First and foremost, we are not “demanding the biggest pay rise”—we’re demanding that our members’ pay be restored to what it should be.
“Firstly, no junior doctor has seen pay cut by 26%”

This deliberately conflates pay progression - increases to reflect increased skill and experience level—and cost of living increases—which is what pay awards are meant for.
Since 2008, junior doctor pay in England has been cut in real-terms (RPI) by 26.1%. No doctor is worth less than they were 15 years ago.

We welcome the proposal in today’s @IPPR report that recommends expanding the definition of residence so everyone living in the UK would be eligible for free NHS care regardless of their immigration status

The report proposes simple, workable reforms to migrant healthcare policy that would improve access to NHS services.

Implementation would be an important step towards our long-standing call for the abolition of charging regulations so the NHS is free to all at point of delivery
At the start of the pandemic we joined orgs representing healthcare professionals, refugees and migrants living in the UK in writing to Govt to make a case for free medical care for all, against the urgent backdrop of #COVID19
