Ms HammondIf nurses are the 'angels of the NHS' what are the 'junior doctors' ?Does the conjunction of 'poor pay' and 'doctors' immediately leap to most people's minds ?When considering their salaries, factor in also their very generous final salary pension schemes which I believe they can draw on from around 55 years of age.'Junior Doctors: Starting salaries for junior doctors in England are around £29,000 to £34,000 per year. Specialty Doctors: Salaries for specialty doctors range from £40,000 to £75,000 depending on experience and location. Consultants: Consultant doctors can earn between £82,000 and £110,000 annually, with potential for additional earnings through private practice. General Practitioners (GPs): GPs typically earn between £60,000 and £90,000, depending on their practice and patient list size.'Regarding pensions as of April 2019, the employer (NHS ie 'us') contribution rate is 20.68%, which includes a scheme administration charge of 0.08%.Maximum doctor's contribution is 12.5% of salary for those earning more than £63K.Oh and there is also a matter of the Hippocratic oath they swear - literally or metaphorically !
