Correct me if I am wrong guys... but as far as I was aware, Alan Woodall had made this huge effort to oppose the 65% to 55% pay supplement cut in GPR pay. The last I heard... we had email correspondence from Mr Wilkinson at the deanery (the message was posted on SVTS) saying if Registrars applied before a certain date they would be PAY PROTECTED.
How is it I am finding that Mr Wilkinson is now telling practice managers that they are to treat August registrars as starting new posts... and therefore enforce the 55% supplement. As well as this the deanery have withdrawn the money registrars used to get for transport.... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??????
Please someone tell me I havent missed something... Did anyone else know we had been blatantly lied to??? I think there are respect issues here that are being savaged... I so wish people in higher positions didnt feel the need to shaft us... I cant believe I bothered to do an extended period in hospital... I should have done four months less... and kept the extra £4,500 for the year by opting to be a GP reg earlier. Now we have the joy of a paycut... and exam costs in excess of £1,500 (assuming you pass everything first time), plus the £500 membership before you can actually do the exams.
I really am pissed off.
All registrars please make sure you record your mileage.
That was the last i had heard too - until my practice manager tells me the same thing - that i will now be given 55% and no car allowance. I still plan on writing a letter to Wilkinson - i just need to get more details from my practice manager - and i think you should do the same.
Guys I am so sorry to hear this whole palava has started up again - I am pretty sure I still have copies of the emails that went out if any of you have deleted them. Martin Wilkinson was actually very receptive to the Emails that I sent him - we wrote to quite a few people - Alan has all the details.
Am gutted about the travel expense issue - I was so grateful while it lasted - large portion mileage!!

Hi guys, just got back from my holiday and seen all of this.
I've had an email from the deanery stating that the travel allowance reduction SHOULD NOT affect any GPR who started their GPR training before 1st August i.e. Cath you definitely get to continue with the previous rate. So if any of you who started in your practice before 1st Aug have now had your travel allowance reduced then the PCT/ deanery has got it wrong. The deanery are aware of this and are trying to make sure that people are reimbursed correctly but check it! If anyone has any problems then I'm happy to forward the email to you, just let me know.
