We oppose the proposed new doctors' contract because it will be dangerous for patients, dangerous for doctors and dangerous for the future of the NHS - join us and help to #saveourNHS
NHS England (Department of Health) want to bring in a new doctors contract in England, which will:
* endanger patient safety by removing crucial safeguards that ensure doctors are not too overworked. This will lead to tired doctors who are more likely to make mistakes
* punish doctors who want to do non-clinical but equally vital roles, such as research, teaching and management. This contract is also incredibly sexist as it punishes doctors who have time off for caring role (mainly female doctors taking maternity leave)
* be a further attempt to undermine and dismantle the NHS - by worsening the problem of staff recruitment and retention
We are opposed to this contract, which we believe is UNSAFE and UNFAIR - please stand with us in fighting for the future of your NHS.
