Junior Doctors Strike

[Bold Seagull]

GP at around 30, Consultant at 35-40. The vast majority will end up as one of these.

Okay, so is it fair to say it's unusual for a junior to remain a junior doctor passed 40?

Yes.

Average is £53,000, or to put it another way, a junior doctor earns in a year what Chris O'Grady allegedly earns in a month.

In a month !!!! Christ it takes me 3 months to earn that .......

Well said, there are two million on the dole who would love to take over those jobs.

All you need is a white coat and a box set of Grey's Anatomy, and, hey presto, problem solved.

Big Hilda's gynaecology appointment is due if you want to do it and [MENTION=29916]Kellie[/MENTION] 's check up is due too so get your white coat ON

Chief Executive of Brighton and Hove Council gets £150k+, you even get a £270k golden handshake with that post!!

Wouldn't happen in Germany, although you are more likely there to get a golden shower than a golden handshake.

Unfortunately it would!

I Almost zero chance of contracting nasty diseases during your stay as the cleanliness standards are vastly better.

Are you able to back this up, as it's news to me.

If my DVD collection of German hospitals is anything to go by, cleanliness standards do need addressing there, as do toilet habits.

Year 1 22, 636
Year 2 28,076
Year 3 30,002

Up to max £47,175 after 11 years.

Plus additional 40-50% for hours worked at night/weekends.

So significantly less than a junior (backbench) MP then.

Chances are someone will die because of this, so No.

This argument could be used anytime...."If the best man for the job isn`t on call 24/7"

Sounds pretty good to me £30k after 3 years with another £12k with overtime moving up to £50k + £20k for overtime.

 

[Reagulls]

Yeah, but what they do pails into insignificance compared to what an MP has to do for their £67,060 + expenses, or the life saving work a Cabinet Minister like Jeremy Hunt getting £134,565 + expenses (if you can work out the forms...) does.

Of course MP's didn't need to strike....they just voted in their pay rise. Simples.

This argument could be used anytime...."If the best man for the job isn`t on call 24/7"

It's not an argument as such, just my reason, on balance, for not personally supporting this particular strike.

[heathgate]

..... apparently they are arguing over pay around unsocial hours, seems the only problem.

It's what it boils down to.....their beef at its core is that in return for a tasty 11% pay rise....they will have to enter a contract that means on a shift rota basis, they will have to work some weekends....

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

100% agree.

They already work weekends, obviously another Tory idiot piping up

What's stopping you from doing it then?

I don't dispute the highlighted bit, there is no way to set up a private hospital like that in our country, that is not what you were saying in your sensationalist earlier post.
.
You generally get the same consultant as they work in both sectors although generally in a private hospital you get the consultant rather than the "assistant". Almost zero chance of contracting nasty diseases during your stay as the cleanliness standards are vastly better and of course far less waiting times.

Shame about the 100's of life improving operations that have been cancelled today that the patients now have to wait another year for, although many private hospitals are doing these NHS ops today.
