Getty Images Scotland's resident doctors have called off a planned four-day strike over pay. They had been set to go on the first national walkout staged by NHS workers on Tuesday, having accused ministers of going back on promises over pay. But after further negotiations, the British Medical Association union is to suspend the strike and put a fresh pay offer to members - and is recommending that it is accepted.

Resident doctors in England have agreed a "window for negotiations" with Health Secretary Wes Streeting, aimed at resolving their ongoing pay dispute following a five-day strike.

We are still down compared to even the pandemic in 2020, Dr Emma Runswick, a resident doctor in Greater Manchester and deputy chair of the BMA council, stated. The reward for working to get the country through Covid has been a real-terms pay cut, which was not the treatment expected during the days when people lined the streets to clap for health workers.

The British Medical Association has announced that resident doctors in England will initiate a five-day strike over pay disputes, starting from 7am on July 25.
