BMA Votes on Strike Cancellation Amid Flu Surge
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
The British Medical Association is considering a new offer from Health Secretary Wes Streeting, which includes emergency legislation to prioritize UK medical graduates and experienced NHS doctors for specialty training roles. The offer also proposes increasing specialty training posts and funding mandatory Royal College examination and membership fees for resident doctors. However, there is no additional money for a further pay rise. Meanwhile, health leaders warn of a potential worst-case flu season, with at least six hospitals already declaring critical incidents due to surging demand. The online vote among medics will close on Monday, with the potential to postpone industrial action if they vote in favor of the proposals.
