is our duty to support them , this is everyone's fight.
“Not safe not fair” 11th
November Manchester
“The first steps have been taken towards the PRIVATIZATION
of our beloved NHS”- Eye opening words given by Julie Hesmondhalgh, yet ultimately the reality of the future facing the NHS.
“THE NHS WILL LAST AS LONG AS THERE ARE FOLKS
LEFT WITH THE FAITH TO FIGHT FOR IT.”
“Not safe not fair”- What’s it all about?
A new junior doctor contract has been proposed and my,
what a shambles. A number of exciting speakers at the demonstration taught us basically what is
happening
- Redefining hours, 7AM-10PM MON-SAT, no social hours, MORE stressful hours, they are brewing a recipe for disaster, “SHOW ME THE MP THAT DOES THESE HOURS” Junior doctors demand answers to these Inhumane propositions.
- Scrapping safeguarding, therefore there is no protection for us... the underlying fact is TIRED nurses and doctors make mistakes, we are all human! Without safeguarding this spirals all safety down the plughole.
- The contract looks like its been put together by an accounts manager, a bin man, a builder and a couple of solicitors, or perhaps put together in 15 minutes by a bunch of A-level fashion students who haven’t done their coursework. This is not on; this is people we are dealing with, not bloody cross-stitch.
The Changes;
Tutor of junior doctors in Inner Manchester;
“I am fighting for my patients, for rich, for poor, for man,
woman, or child….
These changes are AUSTERITY and leading towards
PRIVATIZATION of the NHS.
Mr Hunt, my patients will be afraid to ask for help, as
propaganda will tell them they will die. Do not tell my patients what they
need, listen to what they want.”
Powerful words from a powerful woman.
STRIKE ACITION; 98%
in favour
Subject to the ballot which closed on the 18th of
November junior doctors in England
will strike on the following three dates;
·
Emergency care only — from 8am , Tuesday 1 December
to 8am Wednesday 2 December
·
Full withdrawal of junior doctors' labour —
from 8am to 5pm , Tuesday 8 December
·
Full withdrawal of junior doctors' labour —
from 8am to 5pm , Wednesday 16
December.
What do the strikes
mean for you?
Industrial action is NOT
taken lightly, in the long term patient safety is at the heart of this
battle, if a fairer contract is agreed this will ensure a positive future for
us all.
Question yourself- what would we do without doctors?... the strikes if anything make you REALIZE how much we rely on doctors, and the
pure fact we are nothing without them, we need them , please support them.
But don’t worry, patient safety will not be jeopardized,
only junior doctors are striking, therefore other doctor colleagues will ensure
patient safety.
