Can you please explain why my 89 year old mum that lives in Scotland , when she needed a hip replacement went private as the nhs waiting list was so long. It cost her £16000? Despite no complications. I live in Australia. A friend whose father in law retired out here needed the same op and had it had done privately. Again no complications but it cost $18000. That’s in uk £16000 =Au$ 31000 Australia Au $18000, A huge difference. But the care is every bit as good if not better in Oz and health care professionals get better pay. So the uk is making a killing if you excuse the unfortunate pun! Such greed! Just how much is enough? Now retired I was a double qualified RN having trained I the NHS and emigrated 30 years ago. When I got my first pay check I actually thought I had been overpaid. But it turned out I wasn’t . So better pay for working less hours. I thought all my Christmas’s had come at once.This loss of health care professionals is only going to get worse unless drastic action is taken by government in the uk. I also heard recently that uk trained nurses may have to upskill as their competencies are falling short of Oz equivalent!! Never in my wildest dream would I thought that would happen. And yet still people still say that theNHS is the best in world , but the reality is nothing could be further from the truth.

I think people should really consider coming to Germany! I moved out of UK and the NHS Hell! I finished my residency in germany and during my residency I got a decent pay. I made a starting salary of around 70K+ and in the last years about a 100K+/year. And after residency a lot more options with better pay are available! The german healthcare is a huge markert for doctors and you can almost get into any speciality of choice. You just have to learn German to B2 level. The work life balance can be managed pretty well but of course it isn't all Hunky Dory. And if you get sick of Germany, you can just move to Austria or Switzerland.

After medical school, can we be fully licensed doctors? I don't understand it.

I moved out of the UK after F1 and moved to Germany and I finished my residency a year ago. When I started my residency back in 2017 I made an average salary of just above 70k Euros (Gross) as a first year resident. I think I worked about 46 Hours on average. I did Radiation Oncology as a Specialty. Over the period of about 6 year it went up to 100k+. Post Residency its a lot better and working hours in Private Practice are like max 42 hours a week. Obviously, it varies .. some slightly senoir colleagues make 200k/year for 42 Hour week. GPs in underserved areas make also very good money. Locums in Emergency Med or Pysh or Radiology pay also really well. I know some people who work about 45 Hours doing locums with a base salaray of 14k a month plus extra depending on the sessions. And the jobs are Endless.

Do biomedical scientist also need HCPC registration?

Great points doc. I really want to practice medicine in Australia but ik plab is much easier than amc and they offer good opportunities to young doctors and freshers so i wanna give plab and work for 2 years and then move to Australia. In that way it will be easier to get job in Australia too. Does that sound like a good idea doctor. Pls give your suggestions

Great points. There is social mobility for those prepared to work/ study hard and smart.

Thank you for talking about the different career paths friends have taken, massively helped especially as I’m not sure what to do after 🙃 pls do full vid on the breakdown and thank you sm for this video out here saving lives 💀

I loved this video Dr Kenji, never knew you grew up in Kenya! Have a great day , you are such an inspiration

If you compare any african country with UK, there will be lots of positives.

lol don’t come to the U.K. for work or for weather 😂

When another doctor or hospital manager gets sick or one of their family, they call up a senior doctor, not the pa.

If you want to be a doctor and do what a doctor does, go to medical school!

Hi Dr Kenji, so your friend who is a pgy3 in australia is he an f3? As in did he do both f1 and f2 here then went to australia as a pgy3 or f3? And thank you for your videos. They are great and we all appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tips 😊

Australian healthcare is not 100% free.

You are often jokingly referred to as NHS refugees here in Aus.

can you add us and germany pls

Why do students have to achieve higher grades to get into the medicine when there is a possibility to work like doctors by getting lower grades? Why wasting too much time to become a doctor when one can do it with less effort? If diagnosis and treatment are so easy, then why not ask patients to treat other patients? Google and RUclips are producing many doctors. No matter what, I want to be diagnosed and treated by doctors. I have nothing against other health care professionals because they are part of the health care system. LET THE PILOT FLY THE PLANE AND NOT THE CABIN CREW FOR SAFER JOURNEY.

would love to see the same video for USA

I recently watched a reaction video about this, comparing it to U.S. pay. It's unbelievable. I currently live in the U.S. but I'm planning to apply to medical school in Australia.

How many time duration spend to complete medicine degree ....

Thank you so much for sharing. I am starting in a few weeks and really nice to hear your experience and I will remind myself if I find it tough that this too shall pass.

If the intention was to make the service more efficient then I'm sure no one would argue with that. But if the intention is to cut funding then that's a different thing all together. 'Sacrifices' will always be made. In this case, it is your health. Efficiency is the government's euphemism for cutting funding.

The government wants to be able to control professions.

You said you work 60 to 70 hours a week? I have heard 48 h a week is standard for docs in uk? Or these hours are for FY docs only?

I wonder if the situation is same in north.ireland, scotland and England?

Starters position in a supermarket in the Netherlands here earn an hourly rate of €18,- , roughly 15.5 pounds. I think 17 pounds is ridiculously low for a university lvl employee tbh PS, u earn double or 150% when working on Sundays and holidays or late hours(IN SUPEEMARKETS!!!)

The most ignored group in this muddle are pharmacists .I suggest strike and close down whole stores in the UK.Every week there are 10 chemists closed in the UK and wages are going down due to store closure,more stress and every pharmacy is becomming more busy .This is not true that doctors are more responsible.The prescription is a document but I had a doctor who wrote on piece of paper for the patient how to take medicine .The instrution was too compliateted so practisioner wrote as directed for the patient fit .This is an example how doctors are far from reality .He precribed for the patient medicine and every day was different .He should have prescribed than weekly prescription or slighly simplify .This is an example how doctors slipped away from responsibility .Prescription used to be important document .Pharmacists won't stand in the chemist anymore.

I'm glad i found this

With all respect but please look into the requirements for applying for physician associate studies, there is no medical school in the country which will accept a student with a history degree no way I challenge you on this in the nicest possible way

Shipman was a qualified Doctor

I agree with everything here. There could be use for the PAs such as taking measurements or readings but certainly not diagnosing. Also they should probably change the title to physician assistant.

Physicians advocating for a halt in Physician Associate recruitment, rather than advancing structured definitions and levels for PAs, seem to align with outdated, elitist Conservative values rather than prioritizing patient safety. It’s essential that we focus on progress and patient well-being rather than clinging to traditional hierarchies

Is Biomedical scince is exam based or assignment base exam in britsol university?

Are u in australia right now

Doctors hate them because PA are crap. I am talking as patient. No a person with a History degree cannot do a MA to become a PA. A person needs to so a science degree first etc. Medical centres do not tell patients they are seeing a PA and the latter does not either. In fact they pretend they are doctors and give that impression to the patient, this is illegal as impersonating a doctor is against the law. PAs are lacking and you can tell as you walk in. Doctors and Nurses have to know their stuff, so they spend a long training for it, this important as the public will pick up on lack of knowledge as it translates into lack of confidence. A PA with both is damn dangerous but a doctor and nurse usually are very confident as they are well trained for years and have status. PAs have no status other than a confusing moniker. PAs do not provide access to health care, as they act as a barrier, who do not take symptoms of a patients esp. when it comes to mental health seriously. When i asked for see a doctor, i was given a PA instead, i was not told the person was a doctor. When i went in the room I assumed they were a doctor, I picked up something was wrong with the PAs mannerisms, so i asked if they were a doctor and they said no. I was shocked. Now i lack confidence in the medical services provided, it was rock bottom already due to DWP medical assessments and the way doctors treated me over my Mother's death and the stitch up at the inquest. I never in my life thought the medical profession would pass an unqualified person as doctor. When i was seen by a PA there was no doctor in the room and the former had already made a diagnosis and just got the doctor to sign the prescription. No doctor saw me, that is wrong, imagine if i was given the wrong drug, or treatment, then i had a reaction to it and that cost me my life. It would not be the PA that is at fault but the Doctor who signed the prescription. My final thought PAs as assistants to doctors is a confusing status, nurses are there to be assistants to doctors and provide basic medical care. If you have PAs who are not nurses, who see themselves as more akin to doctors that is a problematic. As i have said nurses and doctors are for better trained but you if you have another role that is less trained but have a higher status than a nurse, the government is filling the NHs with pseudo medical staff.

Doctors need to learn to be better leaders, practice teamwork skills, and most importantly, agree to supervise PAs. Doctors that refuse to cooperate with PAs are the problem. It's not like PAs need any of this extra drama.

Nurses are important as well and not only the MDs are special in the medical field.

no hate here but it just sounds like the existence of the role of a PA is an excuse to avoid training more doctors 🤷‍♂

I’m a student and a vip bartender and I make more an hour 🥹

What's wrong with doctors? Even in USA doctors I hear they do not like the Doctorate Nursing Practice DNP. They forget that A mathematicians or psychologists they can be called doctors if the individual achieved a doctorate degree.

i can't afford to do a masters, and i've been applying for medical lab assistant jobs with no luck, what other positions can i apply to as a biomed grad (non-accredited)?

for some reason i cant find ali abdaals course for anki on skill share

Can we study biomedical at any clg then can we eligible for medicne

Thanks for the information. I'm 24 and graduated from microbiology. Considering to enter medical school and this video is truly a light.

Locum market is dying mate for shos, I've done sho locum years and reg locum years. I'd strongly suggest taking time out once you've completed core.

It is harder for you to get onto a training post because of the overseas trained doctors who are being brought to the UK

PAs have a science background not history or arts
