Pret coffee baristas can now earn up to £14.10 per hour based on location. After a 5 year medical degree, a doctor is paid £14.09 per hour. When baristas are earning more than physicians, something has to give. It's time for doctors' pay to be brought to sensible levels.

I submitted an FOI request to the GMC asking them about the tax they pay. Turns out, the GMC do not pay tax. They class doctors' fees as charity. They take £500/yr from doctors, pay zero tax on it, and use it to give their staff £250k salaries and private healthcare.

Those denigrating a crucial profession from within for the sake of CV points and a pat on the back should be ashamed of themselves.

Doctors work long, unhealthy, unsociable hours. Your pay has been cut 26%+ while your school peers are outearning you, and have a variety of employers vying for their talent. You feel undervalued and trapped. You want more from your career, but your ways out are unclear.

Very true. In the private market, salaries are determined by market forces i.e. if a law firm pays less than their competitors, they will lose the best talent. But the NHS has a monopoly on our training. And if they're unwilling to pay us properly, we have to force their hand.

@timricketts_ @Davidmarkpye @jfdwolff Not to mention the opportunity cost of going into training for a relatively poor salary. Locumming as an SHO on £100k+ and investing a healthy amount over X years potentially yields greater returns than waiting until 40yo to make those numbers as a consultant.

The comparison to PA pay isn't to degrade PAs or to attempt to lower their worth. It's a benchmark comparator to show how undervalued we are & to demonstrate that the system is broken - how can the physician associate be paid more than the physician?

As much sense as this makes, there's no appetite to create more registrars because you'd have to pay them more and train them faster. Who's going to do your service provision if doctors are trained too quickly?

And there is scope to increase this senior support by increasing training numbers and getting more registrars on the wards rather than have them act as perma-SHOs without the confidence or training to safely discharge some people

@DrEilidhMaria @RhonddaBryant 'Doctor in training' is a misnomer because it can read as both a doctor undergoing additional training, as well as an individual training to be a doctor. Describing a medical student as a 'doctor in training' wouldn't be inaccurate. 'Doctor undergoing specialisation' is better.

@pageviator_geek I don't doubt that. The rota coordinator I work with currently is equally great. But I guarantee you you'd try harder if you got a bonus for doing so. It's human nature.

We have lost standing and respect in the MDT to the extent that we're losing our medical training opportunities to non-doctor roles and we're being significantly out-earned by roles that require less training and are supposed to be supplementary to ours.

Clearly, I'm not suggesting certain organisations sat round a table and conspired to suppress the SHO locum rate. The speciality training bottleneck provides favourable market conditions with cheap service provisions roles being filled. To think it's pure coincidence is naive.
