New Deal Offers Hope for Averting UK Doctor Strike
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Ministers offer new deal to avert resident doctors strike in England. The British Medical Association presents the proposal to its members, potentially ending the five-day walkout set for December 17th. The deal includes increased specialist training positions and covers out-of-pocket expenses, but no pay raises. Emergency legislation allows NHS to prioritize UK-trained doctors for specialty posts. The number of specialty posts will also increase by four thousand. The Association will consult members via online survey, closing on December 15th. If accepted, a formal referendum will follow.
