Doctors Are Taking Selfies To Prove To UK Health Secretary They Work Weekends
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt demanded on Thursday that hospital doctors start working seven days a week.
In a speech in London, Hunt spoke of a “Monday to Friday” culture within the NHS and warned he was ready to force doctors to work at weekends.
But that’s caused some bemusement among doctors who are actually working in hospitals this weekend.
Medics are using the #ImInWorkJeremy hashtag to show Hunt they’re not taking the weekend off. The hashtag was launched by campaign group Keep Our NHS Public.
And doctors across England rushed to share their antisocial working hours with Hunt.Nurses and other NHS staff got involved too.
We have collected some images and tweets from the BuzzFeed article, to demonstrate the “movement” .
