NHS foreign doctor recruits hit 3,000
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/208...uits-hit-3-000
What's your take on this farcical situation Joe ?

I'm sure you would do it if you had the chance Ded. You have to blame the government for not coughing up the money to recruit people on a permanent basis - because otherwise, there would
not be any need for these locums.

Like pilots being trained by airlines, student doctors at UK Medical schools should pay a bond which is forfeited if they don't spend x years working full time for the NHS - that might dampen their greed and urge to leg it to Australia - thereby preventing us having to employ second rate 3rd world "Doctors"

I agree, so why don't the government implement it?

The GPs are all getting fat and running their own out of hours and locum companies because of the crackpot 2004 Contracts given to them by Labour

You're straying away from your original post Ded. This is not about GPs. And if you cut salaries you won't have any doctors over here.

You've got a point Andy the thread is hospital locums. But overpaid GP locums (even some flying in from Europe) are plugging gaps when greedy GP's are out on the Golf Course or counting the dividends from their out of hours and locum companies all thanks to the 2004 Contracts

A number of posts on this forum have referred to jealousy. If it was offered to you and you had the qualifications would you take the money? Of course you would. This government could have changed the Contract 4 and a half years ago but never did.

Now many of you here might find what I'm about to say hard to believe ... ... but it's true!
Having never ever actually known what it's like to have a lot of money, had I been medically qualified, top priority for me would be how well I performed as a doctor ... treating the sick and saving lives - not what I earned - as long as I'd enough to feed and clothe my family.

What's a locum Dedworth ?
So you're telling me a FY1 Doctor who works 16 hrs as a locum is TYPICALLY earning £1,700 a shift ?
I'll stop in a bit it's the way the Mail tells them
Oh, it goes on to say thatA & E locum consultants can typically earn £110 an hour for a 16-hour shift, or £1,760.
, I think, if that is true, that's what the agency charges the hospital, it's not what the Consultant gets
Maybe £110 an hour is the going rate. What do solicitors - or other professionals - charge an hour ?
What does the Daily Snail Editor earn, Dedworth ? ... oh Dacre got paid £1.85m Surely he is not worth the pay of 7 A & E consultants working for an agency or more than 18 who work for the NHS !
Locum work means you can't pick and choose what days and hours you work, you can only work when they need someone !
And tell me, Dedworth - why do they need to use agencies ?? Maybe it's because they don't employ enough staff to cover 24/7/365 because of the Tory cut backs in funding to the NHS. Just think about how many full-time staff they could employ instead !
Reminds of the time this gov't made a lot of UBKA case workers redundant with some nice pay offs. Then, when they realised UKBA couldn't cope, they had to employ many of them again

Maybe it is because further reform of the NHS is needed - replacement of the barmy 2004 Contracts, bonding of medical students and banning of Doctors having conflicts of interests, i.e. owning private companies that provide locums and out of hours service. I can't see the connection between what Dacre earns and NHS doctors. NHS Management fat cats' earnings maybe !

They have already wasted millions on their reform Ded,
Cameron said:
- Discussing his disabled son Ivan, he said: “I am someone who has relied on the NHS and whose family knows more than most just how important it is. Who knows what it is like when you go to hospital night after night with a sick child in your arms knowing that when you get there, there are people who will love that child and care for that child just as if it was their own. How dare they suggest I would ever put that at risk for other people's children. How dare they frighten those who rely on our National Health Service.” Truth: Thanks to him, the NHS is on its .... and even his own brother-in-law says so.

I don't think you understand, Dedworth. There are different types of doctors and grades, and an A & E consultant is pretty high up in the pay scale because of their qualifications, experience and skills.
What's Dacre got to do with it ? If anyone is overpaid, under-skilled and does a worthless job, its him
Well Dedworth, it's not long ago you were sticking up for that Tory who time-wasted the legislation about dodgy landlords. You stuck for him and his business interests outside Parliament

How about the man with no shame trough feeder and fat cat extraordinaire - former Labour appointed NHS head "Sir" David Nicholson - what's the steer on him Joe ? - how many nurses and doctors could his obscene wages & expenses pay for ?

Greedy businessmen, politicians, lawyers, etc
At least a doctor does something positive -
unlike the leeches I've just mentioned. You're just jealous, Dedworth!

So they want £2,600 for working three hours? Are they taking the piss?

Total load of rubbish story
From the article:-
There are 600 practices in two regions being offered the payments which include the Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country as well as Arden, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
But a number of GPs took to the Pulse website to express their disgust at the size of the payments.
One wrote: ‘GPs in England work for such paltry sums it’s embarrassing.’
Another said: ‘Now they’ve established the principle of paying, tell 'em to quadruple it.’
One, a GP partner, a senior doctor in charge of a surgery, said: ‘I do not get out of bed for less than £300 per hour’ – although it was not clear from his tone whether he was joking.
So, out of the 600 practices the Mail have had 3 quotes 1 of which may be a joke and the headline is they won't turn up unless the money is quadrupled

Maybe they probably get someone on site for a quarter of that. But in the doctor's case you have to pay the price.

Laughing all the way to the bank - no doubt the inept NHS Managers who engineer the staff shortages & shift rotas that cause this will pick up nice bonus cheques
