TSR Doctors society

2 and 3) Nil, but since working with electronic prescribing, I can prescribe a complete drug chart in seconds compared to minutes that it used to take me on paper. I agree with paper drug charts, this would be a little difficult. Or, as often was the case on busy medical night shifts, the patient doesn't have or know their meds, so current meds are chased from the GP surgery in the morning by the AMU pharmacist.

They must have improved the e-prescribing since I last attempted it - I found the system incredibly unwieldy and most of the computers very clunky.

Having gone back to paper charts, I miss the e-prescribing. Tons of room for improvement, but the continuity across admission/current/discharge was brilliant. Could do TTO's in seconds in the middle of the ward round.

This wasn't at OUH - that's quite possibly the worst eprescribing system I've seen and my comments are reflective of it. The system in Manchester was much intuitive. It even looked like a drug chart!

So much support from the public on the picket line this morning, feeling very proud indeed of junior doctors today

I'm just waiting to hear the next statement from the BMA about a second ballot for further industrial action. I can't see how it can progress in any other direction which is so sad.
I'm going to have to start picking up some locums soon to afford all of these strikes!

I think there's more that could be done to raise awareness amongst medical students about what's going to happen to them, I don't seem them at all on the pickets.

Nope. Next ballot will be on the contract if there is one.

Anybody know if the imposed contract will still include the pay protection Hunt promised to stop our salaries nose diving immediately?

I feel pretty despondent, I'm still in F1 and I don't see how I could avoid doing F2 unless I wanted to never come back to medicine ever. So I feel like I've no real ammunition to stand up for myself on this.
