1/ IMPORTANT
@BMA_Consultants have launched a survey for consultants (inc. non-members) in England/NI to find out what you think of the Government’s pay award, how it has impacted your morale and what YOU and @TheBMA should do about it. Closes 16/08/21

2/ Need to know your views - consultants have had the worst pay erosion of any group - take home pay for average consultant has fallen ~28.6% in real terms since 2008/9. A pay award of 3% is still an effective paycut - June's RPI 3.9%, CPI predicted to be ~4% by end of the year
3/ The 3% uplift does not apply to CEAs which are frozen again. Therefore, in effect this is an EVEN lower pay award representing 2.8% of total consultant paybill. Whatever you think of CEAs -wrong to slash their value after the heroic efforts of consultants in the last year.
1/ Consultants have clearly expressed their anger about the Government’s planned 1% pay award. They are telling @BMA_Consultants that they will no longer accept this poor treatment from the Government.
How has it come to this and why is it a problem......?

2/ Consultants take overall responsibility for your care in the hospital. They are the leaders of hospital services, the teachers for future generations of doctors and the experienced doctors who are called when things are seriously wrong.
3/ We already have a lower number of consultants per 1000 people than comparator countries. To plug the gaps each consultant will on average do the work of 1.2 consultants, with much of this extra work unpaid. On top of this they are asked to do extra lists and cover rota gaps.
