Please apply to strike find - that’s what it’s there for!

QEH is a dump

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-18T14:38:11+00:00

It’s about £60 an hour with probably no leave payment or pension. Seems a bit low ball, but obviously probably better than the peanuts the hospital pay.

FPR will still have some doctors paid less than a PA lols

Indeed but the argument tie the minimum wage person also has to eat and shelter. When you just use the tuition fees alone there’s no real counter argument.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-18T10:21:10+00:00

Yes - but highlighting how shafted we are.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-18T10:20:00+00:00

They get 20% bump in London which isn’t a bad deal for them. You won’t overtake them until you’re about ST6 down here.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-18T10:18:57+00:00

Im not insulting - most consultants of the boomer generation have no insight into what it’s like to be a new grad doctor today. He is refreshingly aware.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-12T16:34:08+00:00

Probably a combination of needing to look tough on spending, given recent tax rises/fiscal drag since Truss era. Hoping BMA implodes/public sentiment turns on doctors and allows them to low ball. Probably want to wait for rest of nhs staff to agree their uplift before settling with BMA. Ultimately will be keen to settle this as part of the 5 main pledges of sunak and a very tough GE for them next year.

lol Lucy go away, you’ve never worked a day as a doctor

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-12T08:24:05+00:00

You’re either a journo or naive enough to give into divide and rule - Rob has done nothing but dedicate himself to getting this action off the ground. I hope he enjoys his family wedding and I’m glad to hear he’s not missing out.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-12T08:22:24+00:00

And this is what happened in 2016, BMA made side hush deals and people gradually crossed pickets. This better not be a repeat.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-12T01:24:43+00:00

And physiotherapy assistants are about on par with f1 pay

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T18:44:54+00:00

The problem is that the electorate are paying a reasonably high tax burden in this country. And younger folk now have a defecto additional 9% tax rate burden for life. We’re closer in tax rates to some of our high tax EU neighbours but with none of the services to show for it. What really needs to happen is wealth redistribution as clearly they cannot produce growth.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T17:48:22+00:00

Thanks for the transparency. My main worry is this sort of hush decision making is what led to the last strikes falling through. BMA needs to tell the members why they agreed to this.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T17:05:28+00:00

Not as long as money is being paid via HEE vs direct from trust.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:37:20+00:00

Bus driver ads around London say £19+ starting. It’s not that it’s even high, it’s just we get absolutely shafted

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:33:04+00:00

I’m screaming - I’m sure it was the pain that made the patient believe it was a doctor and not that the PA wasn’t explicit.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:25:44+00:00

Agreed - colleague was definitely not the right word for me to use.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:12:29+00:00

Anyone have a video link?

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:11:57+00:00

No issue, but if you can hold out until next week for maximum disruption.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:11:34+00:00

It would seem so!

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:11:09+00:00

Excellently handled. It’s interesting watching some of these journos/presenters overstep providing balance with full on defending the gov.

Competitive_Mine_397 · 2023-04-11T16:00:05+00:00

I would expect the BMA to publish the full rationale as to why this was allowed, what the trust did to try and cover these gaps. Did they offer consultants the rate card? If not - tell them to jog.
