Jeremy Hunt Your cretinous predecessors taxed NHS Consultants’ pension contributions so punitively that many of us ceased additional NHS activity. That work was nonpensionable & paid at plain time rates; it represented unbelievable value for the taxpayer. Tory fiscal policy hobbled the NHS.

This is a definitive, utterly damning read, of the state of UK medicine. This should frighten postgraduate teams, the DOH, NHS and politicians throughout the country.

Raising legitimate concerns is not disrespect.

Disrespect is starting a newly qualified doctor on >£11,000 less than their alleged “associate” grade who;

Sandip Patel DocX Resus Pieces 1. Core SPA is what is dedicated to CPD

2. New job plans can have core built from scratch and be as low as possible

After breast cancer by age 50, women are at high risk, and mammograms are not enough, also if older & dense or Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance. American College of Radiology add screening MRI. If not MRI, US. Mina's message is so important: ask for US if you feel a lump, even if mammogram normal. DenseBreast-Info.org
