This junior doctor left the NHS for Australia, here’s why…

As BMA research suggests two thirds of junior doctors have “actively researched” leaving the NHS, we speak to a junior doctor who moved to Australia with more than 15 of her NHS colleagues and friends #uk #politics #ukpolitics #doctorsoftiktok #nhs

Imagine being the smartest people in your peer group. You study to become a doctor and your starting salary is 23k. Why would you remain lol

[wexqlp]

Doctors, Pharmacist, Nurses should be paid 80K. MPs should be paid 24K. Let’s see what happens then.

Somebody correct me if I am mistaken. Junior doctors get paid roughly 14£/hour and they have: 1. Debt from uni 2. Unbelievable high fees for mandatory courses and exams. Basic salary in the UK is 10.42£/h, isn't it? That's really a disgrace!

Taxpayers paying for her training? Medical courses are not free in the UK and these students have to get £100, 000+ student loans that they have to pay back. These are A+ students dedicating a decade of their lives to train in medicine then start a salary of £24, 000 to work in a very stressful profession dealing with life and death with thousands of vacancies. People who comment like these do not know a thing about working in the NHS.

Today we had the obscene situation when a BBC interviewer earning over £250, 000 a year tell Dr Sharma, head of BMA, that the NHS should have lots of underpaid consultants (£90-120k, but less if we had more if them) instead of paying them properly. The oberpaid BBC interviewer also told a lie, that BMA had blocked attempts to recruit more doctors, which was not retracted by him. And they are paid over £250, 000!

Well done, you made the right decision❤

Meanwhile the nhs is draining places like Thailand of their nurses etc, to the detriment of Thailand as they have a huge shortage, but as nurses can earn 6 times the salary in the uk theyre obvioudly keen to come

She is beautiful.
And level minded.
Definitely Australia’s gain.

[khawajasajid]

Doctors deserve £100 an hour when u pay enough to your employees to survive, they become loyal 💯 to you simple facts.

[vacafuega]

This is why we need to get the taxes we're owed from corporations, and strip the mega rich of wealth they won't even use in a thousand lifetimes. Get the money and power back from the 1%.

[hohinlam]

Meanwhile rishi gives himself 6% bump along with doctors

[peterbarkworth]

That's a pity, but the UK will just get another from some other poorer country. That's how it works.

[freshdansuki]

Today I tested positive for HSV after having a horrible outbreak, and feel the same way you described in your interview. Listening to you share your overcome experience gave me the glim of hope I needed to hear. I am glad that there are people like you out there who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I needed to hear today to know that it’s ok. I can still be myself and now I'm enjoying my life the way I am supposed to. it is a blessing I came across you Dr Ofenmu YouTube channel

[dmagz]

I worked for NHS and I wasn’t even a doctor and I saw people die in front of me and on me on a regular. That stuff is horrible in your mind. You don’t want that feeling. You don’t wanna see people dying every day.

[basharathussain]

Other countries basically pay better so you move away. My sister is an eye specialist surgeon she stayed put as she loves the work and helping people. Also that she loves home too much. But I know of many friends who have gone to Australia and even the middle east

[LL-czql]

Shes more successful then the people in the comments abd it shows lol

[tcng]

The British politicians are really out of their senses, by allowing investment bankers making an inordinate amount of money a lot of times in the expense of ill informed investors. Most of us would weigh the contributions thst foctors make to the society in doctors favour.

[mariavillaflores]

Also train tickets so much expensive. Fr Kent to London Victoria. Almost 6 k a year. Who's gonna afford. 1 months. This country so expensive to live

[raid]

If staff keeps quitting NHS then, NHS will be doomed.

[Rain-uhus]

How many earn enough before they pay back t he loan. You know the profession you choose to work in very sad today especially for the iill it hass been said many lack empathy colleagues talking amongst themselves or doing much of anything eating on the job scruffy dirty uniform cover ups the NHS needs a huge clean up very sad today no doubt some truly great nurses out there
