Junior Doctors Contract Debate - #MeetTheDrs Sat 7th Nov Horniman Gardens 10am with MP Heidi Alexand

[rrmistry]

Dear all,

As a local junior doctor I am, along with my colleagues very much affected by the current ongoing debate with the Department of Health and the Secretary of State, MP Jeremy Hunt with their planned imposition of a new contract for all junior doctors.

We are facing the might of the government's spin and media machine and as such we have collectively decided that we need to speak to the members of the public in order for us to be able to help people understand the nature of the debate and why we are so worried about the future of our NHS and the patients we serve.

We are holding our first public meeting at the Horniman Gardens in Forest Hill this Saturday 7th Nov from 10am-12pm and will be available around the bandstand area stop. We will also be joined by the Shadow Health Secretary MP Heidi Alexander from 10am.

Please come along and ask us any questions you have about this very important issue.

Thank you for reading and sharing this with your friends and family.

Best wishes,

Dr Ravin Mistry

I think this is a great idea as the Government's access to the media makes the argument that the public get to hear very one sided.

I am also a junior doctor - at the age of 33 - and as I work part time I expect to be a junior doctor until I am in my early forties. The new contract being presented will penalise me for having children and for working part time.

Sadly I can't join you on Saturday as I'm on call as the medical registrar at Croydon all weekend.
