US EditionUK Resident Doctors Plan to Strike in Late July, Union Says
ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 09 – Resident doctors demand a 29% pay rise to reverse years of salary erosion while the government offers 5.4%, with 90% of voting doctors backing the strike, the BMA said.
- Resident doctors in England have announced a strike lasting five days, starting at 7 am on July 25 and ending at 7 am on July 30, as confirmed by the British Medical Association.
- The strike follows a breakdown in pay negotiations after the government refused to reopen talks, focusing instead on unspecified non-pay elements.
- The BMA demands a 29.2% pay increase to fully restore salaries eroded by inflation since 2008, despite doctors receiving a 22.3% rise over two years plus 5.4% this year.
- More than 90% of resident doctors who voted supported strike action with a 55% participation rate, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting cautioned that the public is unlikely to be understanding of such industrial action.
- The strike threatens NHS recovery and delays in patient care, though the BMA says disruption can be avoided if the government offers a credible pay restoration path soon.
