As junior NHS doctors go on strike again, Stephen Fabes, a junior doctor and writer, reviews the particulars of the case against the Conservative government and Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt. “Let’s now discuss some irrefutable stats: junior doctors already earn less than their European contemporaries in a profession, it should be noted, that is highly competitive to access, comes with great responsibility (not to mention a disproportionate wodge of student debt and studying expenses) and requires innumerable skills: clinical, communicative and academic. Yet here we are, beginning on a wage lower than the average public service graduate. Work it out per hour and a junior doctor’s starting salary is appalling, given the above.”
