Can a doctor move into the assistant role and get nearly £10k increase in pay?
This obviously makes zero sense, please pay doctors what they're worth. @wesstreeting
When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.
And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.
It's hard not to see the lie.
RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.
PAs being offended by the @TheBMA document on their scope is pure narcissism.
Their scope is dictated by the supervising doctor, and that's who this document is for. And my GOD is it overdue.
Just had a call from my GP querying why I wanted to switch abx and painkillers, I said the locum (PA) yesterday had tried to change it but I had disagreed with it due to allergies- GP sounded so exacerbated as she told me that 6 of her morning appts were solving PA errors
Being a doctor is weird as you are held to infinitely high standards by everyone but also expected to play down that your job is high responsibility & intellectually tiring at times & have to act like any old rando could do your easy job so people don't think you're "superior"
Doctors in the UK have been reduced to begging for their hourly wage on TV — a disgraceful humiliation.
Behold the end result of socialized medicine and “free healthcare” for the masses.
If you are in the US/Aus/NZ/Singapore/Malaysia or anywhere else, DO NOT ALLOW FREE HEALTH!
If you know that the brightest students in the country (and world) take 5 years to become doctors,
but you think your thicko self can work as a medical registrar after a 2 year YouTube course,
then that itself proves how dumb and dangerous you are. Go back to your crayons.
From 7am, we strike again.
The Government had the option to avert this strike. We offered to cancel if they extended our mandate and they declined. We're still willing to cancel at any point if they come back with a credible offer on the table.

Most doctors have student loans of over £100K that they’ll never pay off due to high interest rates. It creates an effective extra tax on their pay packets each month of over 10%. Reversal would boost pay by 10% effectively.
