In an absolutely crackers development now an apprentice to an associate to a physician is now also going to be paid more than the actual physician 🧐 🤨
I always think: the UK can’t get more crazy. But it always delivers. This time in medicine. Good work 👏🏼
This is a job advert for people with NO MEDICAL TRAINING, learning how to perform the job of a GP on patients.
And they’ll be paid more than fully qualified doctors.
A trial and error approach to doctoring.
It seems on your watch absolutely anything goes

To be fair, neurosurgery remains notoriously popular in the UK where consultant (attending) salaries are standardised across the board so no one specialty is more well paid than any other

The main issue. Either the years of training with accompanied non-desirable aspects of the UK’s v long speciality training are needed, or they’re not.
I think they are. But if they are not then a lot of us are quite reasonably wondering why we are putting ourselves through it all
The fundamental problem I have with this is that AHPs of various backgrounds increasingly want to do what Drs do, but without:
- Work required to enter medical school
- Huge costs of med school
- Upheaval of rotational training
- Stress & cost of postgraduate exams

Even this is best-case assuming you
1. Immediately get a job at CT1 (+ ST3/4 for most) without an extra year+ of clinical experience first
2. Don’t do research (2 years MD/3 years PhD)
3. Work 100% FTE
4. Don’t take mat/other extended leave
Will be 13 years for me as it stands!

Junior doctors can train for up to TEN years, not 8 as you’ve just reported.
Like this:
Medical school. 5-6 years.
Then:
FY1 - 1st year
FY2 - 2nd
CT1/ST1 - 3rd
ST2/ST2 - 4th
ST3 - 5th
ST4 - 6th
ST5 - 7th
