It's election time

So, the're off.

And who should you vote for, now that you won't have the chance to vote for the SAVE BEDFORD HOSPITAL PARTY?

Well it's simple really. Vote for whoever has the best chance of getting rid of this nasty, spiteful, incompetent Labour government. That may vary from place to place, so use your judgement and common sense.

Nice post, kind of drawn out though. Really good subject matter though.

British Medical Association confirm opposition to Equity and Excellence Bill!




















Image from Walthamstow anti -cuts protest on Saturday 19th February 2011.

A protest organised by Keep the NHS Public was held outside the BMA headquarters last night. The event was visited by around 40 die hard protesters including a number of medical students, who were gobsmacked by the proposals for the abolition of the PCT. I led the chants with my usual megaphone antics!

Students highlighted grave concerns that the training for doctors in this country - currently designed and coordinated by the NHS, would be placed into the hands of the private sector, reducing the quality and reciprocally doctor performance.

Many students were also concerned that the bursary that pays for the last 2 years of the course for British students on the 6 years medical course, might be scrapped!

In a tightly run debate in which discussion was limited and tension was high hundreds of doctor's voted to oppose the dastardly bill, that is seem by most as a stealth privatisation programme. Only 3 Doctors voted in favour of the bill!

Word spread quickly of the result and as Doctor's left the BMA headquarters they were met with cheers of praise and loud clapping. I led a chant that encouraged all those involved with the protest:

Thank you BMA -The NHS is here to stay! It seemed a small gesture then but a majot decison was made in the eerie halls of the BMA building.
