Junior Doctors wage

[soulman101]

There's a couple of massive misconceptions that Junior Docs are playing on in order to get sympathy.

Firstly, they are not paid £14 per hour. In their first year the basic pay is equivalent to £14 per hour but add-ons like shift bonus's on average make it 30% more. They earn on average £38k straight out of medical school which really isn't bad. That rises in year 2 and quite dramatically in year 3.

They talk about hidden costs for exams and registration but don't talk about hidden earnings such as decent leave arrangements and then the extra shifts they can do are lucrative.

Don't get me wrong, they deserve a pay rise, like most the country, but it's still a very highly paid industry.

I 'm still on their side , but they shouldn't mislead people with those £14 placards'
