The Junior Doctor Crisis: Unraveling the Pay Cut Dilemma and Exploring Alternative Career Paths

Send us a text

As the third junior doctor strike looms in June 2023, can a pay rise truly alleviate the mounting frustrations surrounding a 26-28% pay cut in real terms experienced over the past decade? With my firsthand experience as a doctor, we dig deep into the issues affecting junior doctors and their potential consequences beyond monetary concerns.

Join us as we discuss alternative routes for those who may not want to become consultants, such as CESR posts, portfolio careers, or continuing as a locum. Moreover, we tackle the vicious cycle of unhappiness stemming from inadequate pay and working conditions, the government's role in perpetuating this situation, and how they could better allocate their resources to support the NHS and its dedicated workforce. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation as we shed light on the future of junior doctors' pay and employment.
