EPA Resident doctors in England will initiate a five-day strike starting from 07:00 on July 25, after voting in favor of this action over pay dissatisfaction. The British Medical Association has already met with the health secretary to prevent this strike, but the government has stated it will not engage in pay negotiations. Despite receiving pay increases in recent years, the BMA claims doctors' wages remain significantly lower than in 2008. The resident doctors are determined to strike without a credible offer for pay restoration.
EPA Resident doctors will strike for five days from 25 July after voting for action over pay, necessitating negotiations from the government to avoid disruption.
The British Medical Association has met with the health secretary in an effort to resolve the pay dispute, but the government refuses to negotiate, asserting it will not engage on pay matters.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting described the strike as 'unnecessary and unreasonable', claiming the NHS is at a critical point, and emphasized that the move would not be favored by patients.
Despite previous pay increases, the British Medical Association argues that resident doctors' wages are approximately 20% lower in real terms than they were in 2008, prompting the call for restoration.
