In this video I'm going to discuss how much money earned working as a locum doctor in 1 year. Hopefully this is useful for those doctors who are about to start their F3 year and may be considering working as a locum doctor.

Great content, Colin! Didn't know much about this area but your explanation made it easy to understand! Also, cool plants! Would love to see you make a video about them in the future :)

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful! It's something I've considered doing in the past and I mentioned them a bit in my desk setup video but I could do a video specifically about them 🪴ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZSFcBtn4Cu0.html

This is why I dropped out of med school, did maths degree and masters in finance to make much more. Only US pays med grads fairly

@colinkilday Год назад

Yeah working as a doctor in the UK (especially as a junior doctor) isn’t exactly the way to earn lots of money. However, it is very much a unique and interesting job that I do typically really enjoy 😊

@ameralahmair8158 10 месяцев назад

Dr. Kilday, if you are seeing that you are being deducted more tax for more hours worked, why work more hours when you know you’re going to be taking less home pay? As in the case of the month of September earning 3880 gbp @ 153 hrs….while you made less money in October taking home 3870 gbp @ 178.5 hrs?

@colinkilday 3 месяца назад

Because I am contributing more to paying off my student loan. As I am Scottish my student loan isn't that much, so the sooner I pay it off the less interest I'll pay

Really informative and to the point video mate.. really liked it.. Any idea of how much someone on ST3 level will hourly on locum shifts mate.. ??

@colinkilday Год назад

Thanks! I’m glad you found the video useful! For a registrar in the region I work in as an internal locum it’s usually between £65-£75 per hour although it really is location/type of shift dependent

@jb9201 Год назад

Nurses in California make twice as much as you. UK doctors deserve better

@colinkilday Год назад

I think generally healthcare staff in America get paid significantly more than their UK counterparts, however that then leads into discussion surrounding private healthcare vs a public funded system of healthcare such as the NHS.

@jb9201 Год назад

True. Australia and Canada are publicly funded and yet doctors and nurses earn a lot more then UK. Something does not add up here. Wishing you all success

You can reduce the deductions by investing into a good pension monthly they still take the money but you get it back with compound interest when you retire!

@colinkilday Год назад

I’m not going to pretend that I know too much about the NHS pension scheme. However, whilst in training I’ve always been paying in my NHS pension however whilst working as a locum I have been informed that I would have to make both contributions (for not me and my employers contribution). When I go back into training next year I will again sign back up to the NHS pension scheme

@jamesbaker429 Год назад

Your tax code is standard 12570 a year before tax ,not 1257 a month.

@colinkilday Год назад

You’re right, my understanding is that with the tax code 1257L this means that I can earn 12570 a year before I start paying tax. However, the way that actually works is it’s divided by 12 meaning that I can earn £1047 each month before I start paying tax on my wage. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!

Hey bro. Mind sharing which degree you doing as PG in medical education. Perhaps you should make videos on pursuing PG/further education after medical education, along with foundation year jobs Thx

@colinkilday 6 месяцев назад

I did an MSc in Health Professions Education. The course itself was predominantly online. I'm also currently doing a Psychology MSc as well. Yeah that's definitely a video I would like to do, talking about the different options which are available.

@richardj5657 10 месяцев назад

Why should i be into only locum instead of full term employment. Especially the fact that i don't require any visa sponsorship. Is it an advantage to do just locum?

@colinkilday 10 месяцев назад

At the minute I'd argue it's becoming a bit harder to locum with less locum jobs available. There are multiple reasons for this but there is a bottle neck for doctors at the SHO level who are all trying to get on to increasingly competitive training programmes. The answer to this is quite complex and I might try and do a video on this in the future to give a more detailed explanation.

@tochianozie 6 месяцев назад

@colinkilday 6 месяцев назад

I work through an internal locum agency who then offer me jobs. I’m also offered jobs directly through rota co-ordinators at the hospital I work in

How much salary F1 doctor in this year..

@colinkilday 10 месяцев назад

The basic salary for an FY1 doctor is £29384 however that doesn’t take into account the additional hours worked like night shifts and weekend shifts. I’ve done a previous video where I talk through the payslip of an FY1 which goes into this in more detail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XSw3pR41rmQ.html

@colinkilday Год назад

Unfortunately that’s pretty much the case when you factor in my two student loans, PAYE and National Insurance. The only good thing is in the future I will eventually pay my student loan back but that’s not going to be for years

Does a locum doctor works in tertiary care hospitals in uk? Also does that count in your experience to get you consultant level?

@colinkilday Год назад

Locum doctors can work in most hospitals, including tertiary care, it just depends on what vacancies they have. However, time working as a locum doesn’t count towards training, so it doesn’t help you progress to consultant level. Hope that helps!

@dickpol9669 Год назад

Hi Colin great video, a quick question. Does IMG working in UK get same working hours as local doctors once choose to locum?

@colinkilday Год назад

Thanks! Working as a locum essentially means that you don’t have any guaranteed working hours as you essentially aren’t on a contract. However, given there’s a shortage of doctors, there is typically lots of locum jobs available especially at the SHO level. As for working as a locum as an IMG, it depends on if you are able to work in the UK or if you need a visa. If you need a visa then you wouldn’t be able to work as a locum full time as you essentially aren’t employed. Hope that helps!
