In this episode, the Medics' Money team discusses pressing issues facing resident doctors, including the potential strike for pay restoration, the implications of student loan forgiveness, and the controversial proposal to swap pension benefits for immediate pay. The conversation also touches on the Economic Crime and Transparency Bill, which will affect how limited companies file their accounts, and the importance of financial education in light of the current economic climate.
