'Unjust' junior doctor title should be scrapped, says campaign backed by chief medical officer

'Unjust' junior doctor title should be scrapped, says campaign backed by chief medical officer Qualified medics with years of experience should not be called "junior doctors", according to Oxford University academics who are calling to end the use of the "discriminatory and belittling term".

Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer, is backing the campaign, saying doctors should be given job titles that grant them "the respect they deserve".

Some so-called junior doctors have a decade of experience but their title means they can be mistaken for students by patients. The Daily Telegraph
