UK doctors' union suspends planned strikes, set to vote on new offer
The BMA will put a revised offer, including 4,500 training places and an average 6.6% pay rise, to about 55,000 doctors.
- On Saturday, the British Medical Association suspended a planned four-day strike by resident doctors in England following a last-minute government offer, averting a walkout scheduled for Monday, June 15.
- Driven by long-running concerns over staffing pressures and pay erosion, this action would have represented the 16th strike since 2023 within the National Health Service.
- Under the new offer, resident doctors receive a 3.5 per cent pay rise in 2026, creating an average increase of about 4.9 per cent, plus 4,500 training places over three years to ease job backlogs.
- BMA Resident Doctors Committee leadership must recommend the deal to members for a referendum; committee chair Jack Fletcher warned that rejection would trigger July strikes.
- Health Secretary James Murray welcomed the suspension as a chance to draw a line under damaging disputes while maintaining that after a 28.9% rise over three years, the country cannot afford to increase the pay offer for this year.
