PResident doctors are paid appropriately, ublic opinion on it is rapidly divided – but about half of Independent The readers agree with the government’s stand that their current salary is appropriate.
In Our pole49 percent said that the salary of doctors is appropriate, which looks at the pressure of NHS budget.
Just a quarter said that they could be paid more, but realized that 29 percent increase was very high, while 25 percent supported the demand of BMA for significantly higher pay, especially increasing inflation and real -term wages cut since 2008.
“The answer is quite simple,” a reader wrote. “Pay more or leave them in the draw … Does anyone believe that healthcare can work without doctors?”
But some readers felt that the measure of the strike is unfair, arguing that “the old school union extremism has no place in our NHS”.
Comes despite walkout Last minute appeal to Sir Kir starrer And Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who warned that the five -day strike can derail the NHS recovery efforts and damage the patient’s care.
With the brazing of hospitals for extensive disruption and ministers urged the BMA to return to talk, the question is whether the doctors are fighting for fairness – or pushing far away?
What did you say here:
This is just another aspect of a failed country
Of course these doctors deserve the higher rate of salary, I cannot see the Solicitor what they get.
However, this is just another aspect of a failed country.
A country run by politicians that can play internal political games with the referendum of the European Union, which has destroyed businesses and life, not to say anything about GDP … And what, can I ask?
All public services are now in freefall, and at the top, we have to increase spending on defense.
Thanks to goodness that the public can still celebrate holidays in Spain and vote for a snake oil salesman!
As long as we are in the world, we wake up, it will continue… downwards.

Do you support the strike, or do you think that resident doctors have already made a proper deal? Share your thoughts in Information,
Pay more them, or they will leave in the draw
The answer is quite simple. Pay more to them, or they will leave the countries in the draw (already leaving in the draw) that pay them properly.
Does anyone believe that healthcare can work without doctors?

Accountant vs. doctor
Average salary for a new qualified accountant: almost. £ 40K – similar to a newly qualified junior doctor, who does more hours, is more stress, and a much more important work in a much more challenging environment.
I was an accountant. During my career, I played various roles, many of which included money management or savings for individuals who could have already spent in many lifespan.
And the big, I worked in hot, well -light offices, and I ever saw that I ever saw that when I had audited a veterinary practice and they (quite intentionally, I am sure) went through a theater, while a dog was operating.

Long, inconsistent hour
These are not medical students – they are eligible doctors!
They pay for their own training, around £ 100,000+ in the loan – more if they are experts.
It probably takes 12 years to reach the advisory level and it requires even more study.
They work long, unnatural hours and keep reading.
For £ 15 per hour?
It is not to say that I now trust the medical profession – not – but it’s more for the culture of NHS Trusts (what’s a false name!), Which now seems to spend more on legal claims that they do on care …

Nothing less appropriate can be considered for doctors
Of course they are not paying proper.
Fairness in salary is relative. When millions are paid to footballers, rock stars, film stars and C-Supars, no one can be able to think of anything less for doctors.

Public servants are underpaid
Junior DRS (so -called they start behaving like adults) need to be appreciated that the vast majority of folk servants are reduced compared to their predecessors before penance.
Many people were at the salary reference point in primary school they used for comparative purposes, so there is a lot of time to choose another profession to choose income if the income was of primary importance.
Finally, the salary difference with other health businesses should be accepted as an honest assessment whether they are being treated properly.
Frankly, large educational loans are borne by many others who do not see it as a valid reason to take industrial action.

Just now, they have 25 percent public support in the survey above.
Almost everyone has declined in standard of living since 2008, due to financial accident and in fact, due to braxit.
We all have a gesture to the government’s head and “Bwaaa! It doesn’t like it!”
That gun is indicated on our head: their profit is the loss of taxpayers.
Just for children to leave the university in their first jobs, they are paid very well. If they go out to be good, they will become very rich, and they know it.
Sufficient. go away. Old-school union militancy has no place in our NHS.

Their salary is abi
How can anyone say that their salary is appropriate, beyond me.
As long as you have taken tax, ni and pension contribution from that figure, they are working all hours for not more than basic wages!
Do you really feel that doctors are only worth it? These people save your life, for goodness – and their salary is disable!
