An A & E consultant would be on the maximum of £100k a year after 8 yrs of experience. Roughly what's that a day Dedworth ??Originally Posted by Dedworth
Say 100k /12 months = 8k monthly
8k / say 22 working days a month is £378 a day for say 8 hrs.
They worked 24 hours so that's 3 * £378 = £1,136. Oh don't forget btw, Xmas and New Year. So you would probably want more money for that and they would have to pay tax etc
So £378 / 8 hrs is £47.50 an hour, now I wonder how many lives they would have saved in that 24 hrs Dedworth, and what price do you put on someone's life ?
Can you name another profession which is so highly skilled, where they charge\get paid less than £50 an hour before tax etc ?
The Trust probably had no choice but to go to an agency at short notice. Maybe they couldn't find someone else to stand in the same day or next day. Maybe the A & E consultant was ill
Dedworth, my misses use to get calls pretty often from the Trust she worked for (misses put her name on a list of doctors that was willing to do extra work). It's capped. Can't remember the exact figure, I think £30 a hour, and they normally would want her to work the same day or the next day after she had already done or had to do her normal work.
I see the Snail only lists a few cases. Surely if there are many doctors doing locum work costing millions, then why don't they list more cases ????????
Stop believing the Daily Snail hype, Dedworth. I thought you were smarter than that!
