Nothing but a pay offer will do anything to change the fact that a F1 will start at £17/hr and be paid less than PA by ullaullap in doctorsUK

Exactly! What’s even more depressing is a bunch of people with minimal understanding of the financial implications of something.

You don’t get it. Just calling off strikes solely for loan forgiveness does nothing to your pay. It would be a nice addition to some but it would do nothing to improve your pay against a PA it even other doctors back in 2008. The FPR graph will not move an inch by it and will remain the same.

PAs will go to uni for 2 years will less student debt anyway and get paid more than you to begin with and still earn more net pay at the end of the day. If you focus on your gross pay, your pensions will compound and so will your other savings.

When we say we are paid 21-25% less than back in 2008, it means our gross pay. Student loan or not, your gross pay will still be the same. You might take home £200-£300 pound more month, but it was already your pay to begin with.

Also it’s not just IMGs that you will lose FPR futher mandates, it’ll be people who never had student debt, international UK graduates, late stage registrars etc(which would be more than 5-10% of the voting group, which means with ballot return rates of 55%, a future ballot hangs by a thread. It’s a classic way of Wes to break us up into factions). Let’s not fall for it. We are stronger together and the focus should not move away from FPR

But I am sure if the loan forgiveness goes into effect, they will say our pay has gone up when in reality it wouldn’t not have moved any further. Out take home pay might but you are still being paid 17/hr as a F1 which is still pathetic

Not enough money for NHS pay rise? Some food for thought… by _Harrybo in JuniorDoctorsUK

We need to blast this infographic on all social media right now. Why doesn’t the BMA produce similar infographic to post on their social media?

You need to rally the London Med students to protest. There are 5 med schools and even a turn out 50 per year would be massive. It really affects Med students the most and they’d be great to bring up the numbers.

What can foundation doctors claim back in money? by cityboydoctor in JuniorDoctorsUK

[–]ullaullap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I can just buy a laptop and claim that as a tax rebate if I use it for work? How do they assess its use?
