> However, a PA earns £39,766.76 - far more than the juniors with none of the responsibility "far more than the juniors" is quite misleading: junior doctors only make less than £40k during the two Foundation Years immediately after graduating; they make more than that as soon as they start their Core and Specialty training [1] (and this is ignoring any supplemental Banding payments). Once they've completed specialty training and transitioned from being a Junior Doctor to a Consultant (which, admittedly, takes several years, and involves considerable responsibility) they're on a minimum of £84k [2] (not counting any extras like Clinical Excellence Award payments, which can go up to £77k). If they become a GP instead of a consultant, pay is more complicated, as GPs have traditionally been Partners in a practice, though an increasing proportion are Salaried employees instead.
