Resident doctors’ pay has fallen behind 2010-11 levels, report finds
The Nuffield Trust analysis found that the pay for resident doctors has fallen by 4% to 10% since 2010-11, which is significantly less than the 29% reduction claimed by the British Medical Association (BMA) since 2008-09. The report comes as resident doctors prepare to strike on Friday. The BMA is seeking a 29% "pay restoration" for doctors, arguing that their earnings have fallen behind over the years. However, the independent analysis by the Nuffield Trust suggests that the reduction in doctors' pay is not as severe as the BMA's estimate. The article highlights the ongoing debate around the appropriate compensation for resident doctors in the UK.
