Junior doctors’ new contract is a disaster aka NHS will be put on LCP (Liverpool Care Pathway)
To cut the long story short,
Government plans to impose a new contract on trainee doctors will jeopardise the seven-day emergency NHS it says it wants to improve. The proposed contract reduces pay for trainees in all acute specialties by as much as 30%, and economic modelling shows a much worse impact on anaesthetic trainees.
Later more than 1,600 doctors have requested to work overseas in just three days last week – 20 times more than the old average. As we previously reported Junior Doctors Strike Petition in the UK 30 % Pay cut!!! Numbers of NHS doctors registering to work overseas could reach unprecedented record, and the mood among junior doctors is very poor.
Extending “normal time” significantly reduces pay for doctors with a major out-of-hours urgent and emergency workload, disadvantaging those already delivering a seven-day service. Other proposals for pay progression affect those undertaking additional training or taking maternity leave.
The health secretary has accused the doctors’ union of misleading junior doctors over changes to their contracts in England ahead of a rally before 17th of October.
and from this point on the future is still unpredictable. A Strike is on the way
