職場至渴醫護人才
全球繼續面對人口老化問題,以香港為例,預計2034年,長者人口高達28%,政府推算,2021年公立醫院需要35,000多名醫生和護士,2026年增至40,000名,醫管局於五年間需要增聘1,000多名醫生和3,000多名護士,可見香港醫護人手長期嚴重不足[i]。
除了醫生和護士外,其他醫護專業例如牙醫、物理治療師、職業治療師、言語治療師、病理藥理研究人員等職位也非常短缺。2018年《施政報告》提出由2019/20學年起,在公營普通學校開設校本言語治療師職位,協助有言語障礙或其他特殊教育需要的學生[ii];政府亦推算在2030年,本港仍欠缺933名物理治療師及186名職業治療師、127名牙醫、497名視光師、106名放射技師和49名醫務化驗師等等[iii]。
薪酬方面,2018年香港非政府職位醫生薪酬起點為$66,945;二級物理或職業治療師$28,725、高級物理或職業治療師$70,590;言語治療主任$31,685、護士$19,030-33,290[iv]。
