Scottish Doctors Vote for First National Strike
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Scotlands resident doctors have voted for a four-day strike in January 2026, marking a potential first national walkout by NHS workers. The British Medical Association in Scotland criticizes the governments proposed pay deal, which they argue is the lowest in the UK and below an independent reviews recommendation. Doctors seek an hourly rate increase to handle emergencies, while the government offers a two-year increase of four point two five percent and three point seven five percent. Further talks are scheduled, with the government open to options like hourly rate details.
