Where does that £14 an hour figure come from? BMA says salary is based on a 40 hour week, so £36616 / (40 hours x 52 weeks) is £17.60 Still not good, but leaves me a bit confused as to how that figure comes about.

+ pension contributions + that’s only the first year trainee wage.

Most like because the figure you have quoted will the total when mandatory weekends + nights are included the amount of which will vary from Doc to doc and speciality to speciality. The 14 is therefore based on what a docs base salary will be for what I would describe as the 9-5 mon-Fri component

Based on yes, but I'm willing to bet a lot of the doctors do quite a bit more than 40 hrs
