I couldn’t help but see some hypocrisy in the BMA’s representatives voting for a 2.5% increase in membership fees next year, when its very own junior doctors committee were last week banging on about how unfair increases in training charges were by the colleges.
A small but vocal minority wanted BMA membership fees to be tied to doctors’ pay increases from now on. “How can we sanction 2.5% when our pay will not increase for two years?” one said.
The JDC want to be involved in setting colleges’ training charges. Maybe the wider membership of the BMA should be involved in setting its fees?
