'Huge job cuts' for public sector

[Old Greg]

Dimprawn et al - you make me laugh. Thinking you could become a doctor with your limited cognitive abilities is like AtW thinking he can become an entrepreneur.

Seems like most CUKKERS live in cloud cuckoo land.

Don't worry - the crayon and jam stains on the application form will show them up.

And £200K is not even a high income for most GP's who work part time.

Mince, utter mince. I would like to see some evidence to support that claim.

I happen to sell software to doctors and live with one so I know about 20-30 GPs and what they are on, the only ones that get 200,000+ own private cosmetic surgeries on the side or do a serious amount of out of hours.

This is Dim we're talking about. Evidence based thinking is not his, shall we say, speciality.

[DimPrawn]

The ones running dispensing surgeries are well into the £200K+ territory. And they do no out of hours work.

Pay for doctors

This page describes the pay for doctors from 1st April 2009.

Junior doctors

Junior doctors earn a basic salary and will usually be paid a supplement. This supplement is based on the extra hours worked above a 40 hour standard working week and the intensity of the work. The most common banding supplement is 50% of basic salary. In the most junior hospital doctor post (foundation year 1) a doctor on a 50% supplement would earn £33,285. This increases in the second year (foundation year 2) to £41,285. A doctor in specialist training on a 50% supplement could earn from £44,117 to £69,369.

Specialty doctor and associate specialist (2008) (SAS doctors)

Doctors in the new specialty doctor grade earn between £36,443and £67,959. See www.nhsemployers.org/sas for more details.

Consultants

Consultants can earn between £74,504 to £176,242, dependent on length of service and payment of additional performance related awards.

General practitioners

Many general practitioners (GPs) are self employed and hold contracts, either on their own or as part of a partnership, with their local primary care trust (PCT). The profit of GPs varies according to the services they provide for their patients and the way they choose to provide these services.
<i.e. an unlimited amount?>

Salaried GPs employed directly by PCTs earn between £53,249 to 80,354, dependent on, among other factors, length of service and experience.

From the above:

"Official figures show that almost half of family doctors now have annual earnings in excess of £100,000, while one in ten receives more than £150,000.
Around 150 are being paid more than £250,000."



So the majority are well under £150K.

I'd postpone that medical degree till you can do basic maths, Dim.

"In England, the typical GP took home £103,654"

Hardly, "even the part time ones get 200,000"

Do you even read the stuff you post?

Pretty much what I was saying all along
