Please watch this video. When I need to call out a plumber I’m grateful to pay £40/h because I don’t have the first clue how to fix my boiler, or the skills to fix a burst pipe. Doctors are asking for half of that, to fix your kids.

From Physician’s Assistant to Physician = an £ ELEVEN THOUSAND cut in pay. Is that what you call “fair and reasonable” @VictoriaAtkins ? We’ll come back to work when we’re paid as much as the assistants. It is vastly more expensive not to settle this dispute.

I’m a former Physician Associate now at medical school. After 4 years more training, with more responsibility on day 1 of work, I will be taking at least an £11k pay cut from what I’d be earning as a PA. Going from PA to Doctor should be a promotion, with pay to reflect this.

‘While doctors may (prescribe) on the advice of other professionals, they are responsible.’ PAs are paid over £11,000 (35%) more than you to use the medical licence YOU earned, and they did not. DON’T risk it.

Medics with just two years of training are 'bending the rules'

Unregulated medics with just two years of training are risking patient safety by exploiting a 'grey area' in NHS guidelines to prescribe medications, doctors claim.

I hoped to begin meaningful negotiations when I met the BMA last month. But its demand for a 35% pay rise is unreasonable – it would see some junior doctors receiving a pay rise of over £20,000. If the BMA move significantly on this and cancels strikes we can resume talks.

Under the ARRS scheme, GP practices are given a budget to spend on employing PAs, and are explicitly not allowed to spend it on employing doctors. That is replacement of doctors with PAs, by definition. I don’t see this as a difficult concept.
