I am baffled by b the government's actions, there must be a hidden agenda. Why would they deliberately treat junior doctors so appallingly?? There has to be a long game in n this but, as ever, they won't be honest and explain what it is, that will become clear eventually if they get their way. But you kow whatever it is it will not be good for junior doctors nor the NHS nor the people of the country but it will be good for the Tories and the wealthy.

Junior Doctors work anti-social and unsafe rotas already. If the government proceed to push for these changes we will lose all our good doctors and mistakes will be made that costs lives.

Relieved to have been old enough to retire from NHS in 2014 yet have to feel enormously satisfied and honoured to have been a practising doctor for 33 years and GP for 29 years in this era. There's no way I could recommend that a young person should risk university fees, cpd, exam fees, medical defence insurance, buying into 'investing' in the NHS GP business, and work in their speciality until 67 years of age to earn 100% of a reduced pension compared with modest amount (compared with my husband who might even meet statistical matching). In my opinion (full professional life as a GP ) the vast majority of doctors working in GP currently need to retire from their current working practice or at least significantly reduce their number of patient contact hours by the age of 60. OK, The individual who is financially stressed will work til they drop or are sued due to a mistake as one doesn't become too sick to work overnight.

The letter makes no reference to one of the most vulnerable groups of doctors, it the group that will get a pay cut: the less than full time trainees, especially those in acute specialities!

In particular I am adverse to the availability supliment for non-resident on calls. I current work in a vast deanery and I get moved once a year. My choices are to move house every single year or to be on site for my "non-resident" on calls. An availability supliment is not enough to be able to justify this and there is no guarantee that this will not be abused. In addition it means I will earn effectively less than minimum wage according to the thus far released information.
