Pay Campaign

Pay restoration for NHS doctors

NHS staff have experienced effectively a pay cut in real terms over the last decade. Qualified doctors are leaving the NHS due to poor pay and conditions, and we are campaigning to ensure doctors feel valued and can manage their bills and student loans.

Why This Matters

The erosion of doctors’ pay is not just unfair—it’s dangerous. Understaffing caused by poor pay and working conditions creates potential patient safety issues and threatens the sustainability of the NHS workforce.

Our Campaign Goals

• Pay restoration for junior doctors in England to reflect their true value
• Address understaffing and retention crisis
• Support medical professionals’ financial well-being so they can focus on patient care
• Ensure fair compensation that reflects years of training and the vital work doctors do

Supporting the Movement

We are working alongside the BMA Pay Restoration campaign and supporting initiatives like DoctorsVote to amplify doctors’ voices and push for systemic changes in compensation.

Doctors deserve to be paid fairly for the essential, skilled, and demanding work they do. Join us in fighting for pay restoration and a sustainable NHS workforce.
