BMA Ballots Junior Doctors for Strike Action

The BMA will ballot resident doctors (junior doctors) for strike action from 27 May to 7 July. The doctors’ and dentists’ pay review body published its recommendations after a delay…

The union’s resident doctors’ committee says:

“Today we met with Wes Streeting and made clear that all he would have to do to avoid the need for a ballot was pledge to negotiate a fair deal that moved us toward pay restoration by 2027, in line with existing BMA policy.
