Doctors have suffered the biggest salary reductions of any profession in the last 20 years, when inflation is considered.
This new research will come as no surprise to our members, but will the Government finally take notice? metro.co.uk/2026/09/09/brita…
I was told there are hundreds of people waiting in my region alone for uplifts and yet nothing is being done! How much longer am I expected to wait?

This new research is a sad indictment of NHS bodies and the Government, who collaborated in a headlong rush to expand the roles of physician and anaesthesia associates without first amassing the evidence that the role was safe.
Our press response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…
The evidence base on the safety and effectiveness of physician associate and anaesthetic associate practice in the UK is “sparse and of variable quality,” finds new study

Issue one - competition ratios
When my cohort started medical school, the average competition ratio was 1.8/1, last year it was 4.7/1.
We do not know the full scale of the damage this year. However, these are the specialties we have number of applications data for.
2/16.
