This should be written in bold and capital letters.
Junior doctors are NOT the lowest form of doctor, the term covers all doctors up to consultant level. This could be doctors in their late 30s and 40s with many years of experience under their belts and holding responsible positions.

@ronib ALL NHS staff deserve pay rises to bring them back in real terms to where they were 13years ago. Sadly, it won't happen.
