• NHS payscales are easily accessible to anyone.

    Junior doctors [i.e. anyone below Consultant] have the following basic salaries:
    Year 1 post-grad [FY1] £27k
    Year 2 [FY2] £32k
    Years 3&4 [CT1&CT2] £38k
    Years 5+ [ST3 onwards] £48k
    There are allowances on top of these for on-call frequency, weekend frequency, and pay premia for hard-to-fill specialities, so in practice most will earn more. There's also a London pay premium.

    Also his doctors being on over 100k

    On the current payscale a basic salary of >£100k doesn't start until completing 14 years as a Consultant, which would be age 46 assuming they starting uni at 18, completed training without any career breaks, and completed a 5 year specialty training.

  • Yet nurses in Belfast need foodbanks and we just all chipped in at work to get supplies for patients in acute care. The NHS here no longer has a budget for shampoo etc...
