This junior doctor left the NHS for Australia, here’s why… 

Thank you

It’s a disgrace

Leave its not about salary

@@MM2009 course it is. You can't live in the UK on 26k a year lol. I don't expect nurses and doctors to work for free. That's Communstist ideology.

​@@kincaidwolf5184Plenty do.

Then you'd have the expenses corruption among your goons , for example, you'd have Socialists flying business class on planes rather than sit with their voter in standard class.

My cousin works for NHS. he is a specialist and he get €34k a year. Nurse with 20 years of experience get €24 a year. He said he feels guilty and everydays is like sinning against the poor and dying brits. They have to wait months to get appointment and only 10 minutes per patients is allowed. Plus, they can only take care of one problem per visit. If you have cancer and BP. You'll have to choose which one should treat first and wait for months to get appointment again for the other. He explained not to believe the internet. UK has the worst health care amongst the poor countries and there is no way NHS can compete against rich and developing countries. Liverpool is full of poverty. Only thriving business are cheap Chinese food (brits bearly affords them) and endless pawn shops. He plans on moving to rich country like the US in 2024.

​@@FellaHAILIRAwhat specialist? He sound like band 5 mid grade because bottom of band 6 is 35k

If you put MPs on these salaries. Corruption in government will be rampant

@@MrsSneaker - Corruption has existed in conservatives since the dawn of British politics.

Also they forget, who provides the training? Other doctors. We actually have to work longer hours when we have students to take the time to train them (which is unpaid) plus students see patients and summarise their cases to speed up the processes in some respects aka unpaid labour. Students should be paid in their later clinical years for sure as they are actually working (whilst learning). The idea that the taxpayer loses out by having medical students at hospitals is quite ridiculous.

@@lightweightben is the “lightweight” in your name a reference to your intelligence or your education?

@@ascgazz you’re an incredibly rude person

Yeah, you're right. The whole "we pay for their training" is a total lie.

@@lightweightbenspot on! I’ve seen too many medical students on the ward taking bloods, one took bloods from 7 patients in a single morning. If they hired a phlebotomist they would have paid a half day’s salary just for that!

Also do your research about Australia, Australia is not everything as it seems

LOLZ. At a certain point money doesn't do a thing for you. Ya think people dying is any easier if you drive a posh car? I hate it when people say 'facts'.

Doctor can make those house calls quicker in their Bugatti....tax deductible.

My dad gets £250 an hour now he used to even work for free when he was a junior doctor just to gain experience and climb up the pay ladder, some of these doctors need to just try gain more experience and higher wages… but I can’t blame them for wanting to move abroad cause there are much higher wages for doctors abroad esp junior docs

Thailand???

India, Africa , south-east asia...

Some of them wanna go back tho. I've seen doctors who left Egypt for the NHS, go back shortly after arriving and seeing what the NHS is like

that money wont do you any good if you factor in the cost of living, and whatever the uk is doing to its health System.

6 times the salary before tax not so after uks huge tax and bills ..Living in the UK is a trap

How’s she affording that at 23 on a nurses wane though?

@@ascgazz She is a doctor, not a nurse

@@lv3609 still, her pay would be the same as a barista… Drs aren’t striking for fun..

@@ascgazz ok. Are you talking UK junior Dr wages, or Australia’s junior Dr wages? If Australian baristas’ wage is high enough to have a decent living, I would go. For the adventure, for the better climate, for the lifestyle, great beaches, different living conditions than current UK presents, …

However, she is going to have my baby. She is taken and please stay away from her.

The poltical class is stealing your wealth, add all taxes in Australia middle class pay it 50% - 70% . Depends what you buy like a luxury car

Doesn’t work like that

but still immigrants would choose to leave anyway especially if they learn that the pay is better on the other country.

You mean it's not doomed already?

More IMGs will be inducted

Nope, because we end up with docs from bangladesh and india

@@AG-so4gl UK need to fix the education system. Doctors grow and get older then needs to be replaced, NHS can't get new ones if education system spends more money educating and campaigning about LGBTQ which is immaterial, instead the Education system should spend money to campain about future, becoming educated for the nation infact this help solve the immigration problem, because then UK won't need immigrants if UK has enough domestic skilled workers.

I can see a lot of gammons that will descend on these threads soon displaying all their vitriol and ignorance, proving why little england it screwed.

I'm also stressed because she is the future baby mama of my baby, please don't give her any more stress. I want to have a healthy baby mama.

Bang on - lots of jealous, football and magaluf loving chavs in these comments

Westerners prefer to be called expats

Because she doesn't do it illegally

It is racism.

I don't think you understand English. Your legal status does not change whether you are immigrant or not. You should consider learning the language so people do not confuse you for a racist bigot.

@@jrr3613 Not really. The UK and Australia have a shared history, monarchy, language, and culture. They're very similar countries. If anything, she's an expat

They were paid more in real terms before, accommodation was free, meals were free, parking was free, becoming a Consultant/GP was faster, there was no student debt and other fees were no where near as high as they are now (exam fees, royal college fees, GMC registration fees etc.).

@@TheMaster47x I consider my question answered. Its so much work, dedication and responsibility to earn less an hour than somone at pret would get. I fully support them and the nurses.

@@user-oy3yo7qe6o pret pays £14.10 an hour junior doctors get £14.09. That sounds like they earn more at pret. But I mean you know. 😏

What system are you referring to when you say “Euro system”? Every European country has very different health care systems

How long do you drive the trucks for Jim?

@@chachu.whiskey As long as it takes.

Canada limits the number of foreign doctors quite strictly, it can be done but it’s FAR easier to go New Zealand or Australia (source: a junior doctor who’s looked into my options)

Thank you for the invite mate. As well as immigration there are issues specific to the profession itself as well. In CAN there are more hurdles, for example a GP/family physician has to do all CAN GP exams and other specialties have to go through the whole training/residency again but in AUS/NZ you don't have to as UK training is recognised. This has nothing to do with competency of doctor but a political choice to limit doctors for a variety of reasons. Having said this some doctors do come to CAN, I suppose they have strong pull factor, but not nearly as much as AUS/NZ.

@@johnlock1605 Interesting, thank you. Canada needs to be more like Australia. Can't understand why a qualified doctor in the UK can't just walk in without the need for more exams etc. It makes no sense.

@@Gaz19878 so untrue can confirm its 10000x better our here im not returning ahahah

Get a grip, Sheila 🤡

In the wider context of things, this is 25% exodus of UK medics in one year. All in one go. A snub to UK government and its people. A middle finger also.

@@mikesmith8313 if you see other people’s desire to thrive as a finger held up to you, you’re a sad cnut. I see it as a glowing neon sign that the tories have UTTERLY and MISERABLY failed to run the country in a way people want to live. What say you?

After University, Doctors have to pay for their training college every year, courses, exams, conferences, annual indemnity, annual professional registration, most pay for union, your work equipment (stethoscope etc), a few journal subscription every year so you keep up to date. You need to attend enough courses/conferences to get you enough evidence of development for you annual appraisals. You’ll usually need to also pay for exam related courses and exam preparation material like question banks.

Generally v.envious of extremely wealthy foreigners.

Soldiers dont have debts from greedy academic institutions to pay. Doctors have to pay the highest out of any degree. Alot of doctors have to pay for private tutoring sessions as it is the hardest degree you can study and in most countries requires the highest achievements in school studies to even be able to study the degree.

@moviesynopsis001 Ah boo hoo what a shame poor bairns . So your saying all student doctors are dirt poor .Can you proove this .Because when I see the hospital staff car park in the morning .The only cars over one year old are vintage or classics ????

The people coming on boas get frick all and the junior doctors get an insultinglt small amount but the competition between these two is manufactured by media - you wanna look at the super rich, that's who we're *all* competing with.

I also hear that they are given caviar as starter before each meal, which is washed down with champagne. After this holiday of staying in 5 star hotels they are given deeds to mansions of their choosing to live.

Very poor perception you have.

It’s literally free - the Australian government pays for flights and the visa too. So no your argument is invalid

There are companies poaching British doctors- they help with EVERYTHING.

but the one in this video literally just did.

I had 3 out of the 9 doctors on my rota go to Australia and new Zealand last rotation (so within 4 months of each other), the rotation before my hospital had 6 friends all go to Australia together.

we pay at least £80/month payin back our 95k debt

Lol… if you bought your own house and didn’t have to get a mortgage for 10x your annual salary then I invite you respectfully withdraw from commenting on issues that don’t affect you. Thank you.

@@musitecture.vienna my comment stands then …

@@ulazygit fair enough. Household budgeting should certainly be taught in schools, it’s scandalous how many people rely on debt to maintain their monthly outgoings. Still, it’s a fact that a disproportionate amount of the UK‘s wealth is locked into the property market, and by denying younger generations access to home ownership will come back and bite the UK economy hard during a downturn.

@@musitecture.vienna when you’ve cut everything debt becomes a necessity. I just admit as a junior doctor I’m in my overdraft this month and I have debt in the form of a car loan (because I HAD to have a car to get to work and I don’t earn enough to buy one outright). Don’t really see how it can be helped if I’m honest. Registration fees were due to month, rent is expensive, bills are expensive, I did a row of nights which really messes up food intake so slipped up and bought a takeaway.

Incoming comments from the labour class...

You didn't mention that the "training and apprenticeship" (being a registrar is not an apprenticeship - apprentices do not make life and death decisions independently) is ~15 years long and costs over £100,000 to complete. Also, our consultants are underpaid - £100k for a neurosurgeon? Does that seem reasonable? Other countries don't think so and that's why our doctors are leaving.

Bullshit!! "Junior doctors" have a minimum debt of 55K for their 6 yr degree. Not all are middle-class, living off Bank of Mum & Dad so they also have the 35K Student loan on top of the tuition fees... As middle-income earners for the first decade that Graduate Tax immediately gets taken straight back by the government. So, many of them drop out of training in full-time NHS work, in order to pick up locum work. Alternatively the lower middle-class students & working class ones just quit UK a.s.a.p. unless they already have children. Only the elite full-time (i.e. 44 hrs/week) Senior doctors earn 100K per annum. Most female senior doctors do not work full time for fairly obvious reasons! 🤔 Those who train part time whilst having children don't reach senior grade until 36-38 yrs at earliest. Almost none of these women work full time.

Ben, you are at room temperature IQ levels.

The UK is not a good example. Look elsewhere

@@Gypsum179 The UK is a perfect example. The only reason you are denying it is because you know it proves socialism wrong.

You definitely sound like a Tory and the type of person she's escaping. Good luck to her. I trust Australia will welcome her with open arms, unlike little england.

Tax payers paid for her medical training and now she is in Australia being a doctor there. Striking for 4 days is irresponsible

Underpaying and overworking medical staff if more irresponsible. I do hope you visit an NHS hospital soon to better understand what it is you’re saying. Looking at your comments on this video and others it appears you’re trying to spread a lot of misinformation.

Uh, she's the one paying....

Missing the point.

I don't understand why everyone is hung up on this myth of training costs for doctors that are highly inflated. Do people realise that a great deal of things used in society is subsidised for public good for example all university students are subsidised to a degree. What about services an individual does not use or hasn't used but gets taxed on, say schools/public transport/social care etc. So why do doctors have to "pay back". What about doctors whom UK pinches from poor countries that could ill afford it?

Asking for 35% pay rise around 20k and striking for 4 days when salary will rise year on year to nearly 60bk after 5 years. There are many professions with student debts and stressful job such as teaching , nursing but they are not striking for 4 days. Totally irresponsible. Get back to work

Do you know how much debt she may have to pay back as student loans?

@@dremmanuelnwogu she knew that before she decided to become a doctors. Many professionals are paying of student debts. Maximum tuition fee is around 9k a year . It cost a lot more then that to train people as doctors so it is funded partially by tax payers and bursery . Let’s stop making excuses and trying to justify there 4 day strike . They need to get back to work to save lives and stop asking for 35% pay rise and negotiate with the government. Downing your tools and asking for 35% is not how you go about trying to resolve the dispute. They are losing public support fast

@@equalitypeace1695 do you know how many immigrant doctors work for the NHS? How many of them were asked by their home countries to payback for their training before travelling to the UK? What you and many others are doing is simply emotional blackmail, and it’s very common to blackmail health professionals

We literally train for 6 years plus to enter the role, during that time we work for free, we’ve ALREADY been trainees. We need to be paid adequately don’t be so dense.

@Chloe-hx1pz you like it or not you are a trainee, medic in specialisation training and when you manage your PhD you will be able to call yourself a Doctor. Dense? No, you are dense thinking that after reading a few books and passing a few exams you are capable anything and to earn 100k ! Back in my time they were calling us " a lot to learn and a lot to proof " before we were allowed to use any titles, your generation is greedy and brazen. The worst, in 99.9999% cases, patients' opinion about "doctors" in training is " complete waste of time, what was the point I came here? This person was completely clueless and knew less than me about medicine... " all you do is shake your sleeve to see what diagnosis comes out, the rest is confidence face or Indian social status way of talking (convince them you know better because you are a doctor, they can't know any better..) You are paid adequately for what you are. You don't like it? leave. Plenty of opportunities out there, and a lot higher ladders to step on compared with UK. Go to Russia they pay very well on there.

@@TamaEnergy Really? how come you cant work elsewhere with that "Dr" in your name? apart from the NHS? ahh yes, because you are not a doctor without specialisation and PhD!

Paying medical staff less than minimum wage as they’re technically students or apprentices is the real crime. Direct your anger towards those that manufactured this situation and not those on the receiving end.

We pay back FAR more then we borrow for student loans because of the ridiculous amount of interest. The ‘training’ consists of PAYING to work for the NHS. It’s hardly training anymore, the last 3 years have been especially bad.

It was quite amusing reading what you have written. If say a large number of doctors and other health workers take your advice and leave NHS and say there is no NHS because they all took your advice. Can you tell me what you will do when you have a heart attack, stroke, serious infection like sepsis or need a surgery? Right now some people who can see a NHS dentist and can't afford private dentist have used pliers and pulled their own teeth out. Would you consider this as an option? Have you ever thought about it that the person who is really robbing you is the rich, through successive corrupt governments, this one being a good example, by selling things at high mark up or stuff that does not work like PPE. Are you aware of billions that pharmaceutical companies make from NHS and that their R&D is heavily subsidised by taxpayers through universities and research centers?
