Doctors Back to Work, Pay Dispute Continues
Update: 2025-12-21
Description
Resident doctors in the UK, previously known as junior doctors, are set to resume work on Monday after their recent strike. The doctors, represented by the British Medical Association, rejected the governments latest pay offer, keeping the dispute alive. The doctors had been pushing for a long-term pay plan that would account for inflation and increase training spots for early-career medics. The governments proposal did create more training spots, but it did not raise pay for the current financial year, which was not enough to satisfy the doctors. Health Secretary Wes Streeting expressed concerns about the impact of the strike during the NHSs busiest time of year and promised fresh talks in the new year. With doctors back on duty, the focus now shifts to stabilizing patient care amidst the ongoing dispute.
