A message to resident doctors from our new UKRDC chair Jack Fletcher. We can make real change for resident doctors if we stand together.
Earlier this week we met with Wes Streeting - since then, we've been in discussions with Government on pay and jobs. Your RDC will now vote on proposed areas of negotiation and whether we should enter formal talks – or use our mandate to strike.
Yesterday, we met with Wes Streeting We’ve not been presented with a credible offer to restore our pay or fix the specialty training crisis in England. We’ve been left with no choice but to return to the picket lines bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/… #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis
“We find ourselves in an absurd situation.” Callum Parr has spoken to BBC News on why resident doctors in England are left with no choice but strike action
After our last round of strike action, we gave Wes Streeting a window to deliver sufficient progress towards a viable deal on jobs and pay. That hasn’t happened. We’ve been given no choice but to return to the picket lines. #EndTrainingCrisis #PayRestoration
It’s unacceptable that NHS psychiatry trainees are being denied exam places, delaying their progress through training. We’re urging Royal College of Psychiatrists to prioritise UK doctors and expand capacity for Jan 2026 as a matter of urgency. Read our letter 👇
