We've updated our explainer on doctors' pay in England 👨⚕️
It includes this analysis of real-terms changes to resident doctors' pay since 2010/11.

The NHS is chronically under-managed, more admin burden on clinical staff means less clinical work gets done.

The summer plan was for 1000 GPs via ARRS scheme so far just 65 have been recruited in the latest figures
This is because it’s restricted funding & not given to practices to recruit directly
