Resident doctors in England to strike for five days in July
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.
- In early July, resident doctors in England plan a five-day strike from July 25-30 with 90% support and a mandate until January 2026.
- Following stalled negotiations, the UK government offered a 5.4% pay rise, while doctors demand 29.2% to reverse pay erosion since 2008/09, prompting breakdowns in talks.
- The BMA ballot saw over 26,000 resident doctors in favor and nearly 3,000 against, with 90% support and a 55% turnout, mandating strike action until January 2026.
- As a result, previous resident doctor strikes postponed about 1.5 million NHS appointments, with warnings of tens or hundreds of thousands more delays if the upcoming walkout proceeds.
- The British Medical Association has given the UK government two weeks to resume pay negotiations before their strike mandate, lasting until January 2026, potentially disrupting NHS services.
