Do junior doctors really earn less than baristas at Pret a Manger? If you assume the lowest possible rate for doctors, and the highest possible rate for baristas, maybe. But in reality, almost always not.

It is possible to roughly estimate what anThis suggests that the average full-time doctor in one of the BMA’s four junior doctor pay grades earned about £43,000 per year in basic pay—and significantly more if you include non-basic pay.

These rates may be higher now, as they include pay from 2021/22, when salaries were lower than they are in the current financial year . A BMA spokesperson told us: “Of course, our campaign is not suggesting £14.09 is the hourly basic rate for all junior doctors, as this title covers everyone from newly-graduated medics to people who have been working for 8-to-10 years or more as doctors.”We also contacted Pret a Manger, which confirmed that pay for a “team member” in one of its shops would increase on 1 April to £10.60-11.90 per hour, depending on location and experience , and for a “barista” to £11.20-12.
