UK Resident Doctors Plan to Strike in Late July, Union Says
ENGLAND, JUL 09 – Resident doctors demand a 29% pay rise to reverse years of salary erosion, with 90% voting to strike amid government refusal to reopen pay talks, union says.
- Resident doctors in England will stage a full strike from 7 am on July 25 to 7 am on July 30, announced by the British Medical Association.
- The strike follows a breakdown in government negotiations after the BMA demanded a 29.2% pay rise to restore salaries eroded by inflation since 2008.
- Resident doctors previously accepted a government pay deal averaging 22.3% over two years, including a 5.4% uplift for 2025/26, but the government refuses to reopen pay talks.
- Over 26,000 doctors voted in favor of strike action with a 55% turnout and 90% backing, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting criticized the strike as deeply damaging and warned the public will not forgive it.
- Health leaders warn that strikes risk delaying or canceling tens of thousands of procedures, undoing NHS progress on waiting lists and harming patients and staff.
