Doctors Consider Government Offer, Strike Looms
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Resident doctors in England are evaluating a new government offer, aiming to resolve a dispute and potentially avoid a five-day strike. The deal includes prioritizing UK medical graduates for specialty training and increasing training posts, but it doesnt address the doctors demand for a twenty-six percent salary increase. Health Secretary Wes Streeting urges acceptance, warning of increased risks during the Christmas period, while the BMAs chair, Doctor Jack Fletcher, criticizes the offer for not increasing the number of doctors or restoring pay.
