Starting wage for a Band 5 nurse in 2013 is £21,388. As a starting salary is that enough? #NTtwitchat
@bendean1979 @ShaunLintern @LilDrSunshine So how long does it take to become a consultant? Is pay that modest whilst working towards it Ben?

@bendean1979@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine Sorry...finding the answers to my questions in your previous tweets now. :-/ -
@C7RKY@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine most specialties take at least 10 years from graduation to train a consultant too -
@bendean1979@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine Hmm..that's quite a set of golden handcuffs they slap on you, isn't it? Buys a lot of 'compliance' -
@C7RKY@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine not sure it has to man compliance, perhaps the lack of true independence in training regulation means it -
@bendean1979@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine Not familiar with the training regulation issue. How does it lack independence currently? -
@c7rky@lildrsunshine@shaunlintern gmc has conflicts of interest, deaneries (now letbs) also conflicted, providers do regulating! -
@bendean1979@lildrsunshine@shaunlintern Wish I were surprised. How do these conflicts manifest themselves in daily life for docs then? -

@C7RKY@ShaunLintern@LilDrSunshine It is quicker to become a GP than a consultant on the whole, and GP pay is better than hospital pay imhoThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
