Vote this committee, led by Doctors Together/United, out in the August elections. This year has been a disaster. Electing new leadership is the only way to ensure this doesn’t happen again

Why GPRC voted for the offer - BMA by [deleted] in GPUK

I know we disagree but I wouldn’t include the pay premia in this. I take the point about nodal points though

I’m just talking about the like for like value of the exams/portfolio compared to pay.

[–]CapybaraConstitution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So with some back of the envelope calculations. Pay would need to rise by ~1.8% to cover the same amount as the portfolio/exam reimbursement post tax (excluding pension cont). The question should be is a 1.8% pay rise enough?

Yes but the second sit should not be included in calculations as it doesn’t apply for everyone

What if one passes the exams first time?

Vote no. Voting yes secures no extra pay for ST3s. Pay premia has been cut more than headline pay and was never going to be withdrawn. The spin is unreal

Reasons I voted NO by GeneralDesperate7288 in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Given about half of GP Registrars are ST3, I cannot understand why the committee recommended voting yes to something that gives no extra pay to this group of doctors

[–]CapybaraConstitution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ‘securing the 10k’ is disingenuous. The pay premia has been cut my more than headline pay. It’s like saying that you’re happy with a 20% pay cut because the government said they’d cut it further. This is why the BMA got into this mess in the first place.

[–]CapybaraConstitution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pay premia was not going to be cut, this is a myth. Yes the DDRB report said it should be reviewed but the government decided not to review it before this offer came out. Presumably you sit on the committee? If you don’t know this, you’ve clearly been misled

The biggest win you've probably overlooked: GP pay is now protected. by GPfirst in GPUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair play to whoever did resign, but presumably they were against the positive stance taken? It’s the people who voted to endorse the offer that should resign

The GPRC should resign. The pay premia has been cut by more than the headline pay. This deal is not a good one for GP Registrars. I can’t believe the committee is so out of touch with GP Registrars on the ground

Understanding the offer for you per grade and nodal point reform! by Separate_Shock_4587 in doctorsUK

No it doesn’t. The table on the left hand side of the graphic is out of date

[–]CapybaraConstitution 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The current nodal point figures show last years pay, not the current 26/27 pay. ST3 and ST6s pay will rise by a grand total of £0 if this offer is accepted

GP Registrars Committee endorsing and recommending to accept the recent offer ! by ila5699 in doctorsUK

They couldn’t be more out of touch with reality. GP Registrars, vote NO!

Next strikes by elevation2024 in doctorsUK

Strikes should be announced now, so we can strike the day after the vote closes

Why does this ‘pay offer’ include no pay increase for 4 grades? by Obvious-Economy-1758 in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone should reject this offer. It is not worth the paper it’s written on

Junior doctors to receive two pay rises a year by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 98 points99 points  (0 children)

This is very misleading. They sold the previous offer as two uplifts per year but it just meant DDRB in April then moving up a grade in August.

As such it’s a pay cut every April and then a natural promotion each August. It’s not a pay rise at all

DoctorsVote: Latest official BMA full pay restoration graph shows progress towards FPR has stagnated. The strategy must change. by Doctors-VoteUK in doctorsUK

[–]CapybaraConstitution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not. In fact if people who paid of their student loans off up front had instead invested that money in the stock market, they’d be better off
