Resident doctors voted to accept a government offer that ends 21 days of strikes that began in July 2025, bringing an end to industrial action by the British Medical Association Resident Doctor Committee. The deal gives doctors a pay structure that is 35.2% higher on average than four years ago, more frequent wage rises as they gain skills, and reimbursements for mandatory Royal College fees and examination costs. It also creates up to 4,500 new training places and improves conditions for locally employed and part‑time doctors. The settlement saves the NHS from the estimated £50 million cost of each strike day and allows the service to focus on patient care. Health Secretary James Murray said the agreement will rebuild the health system and improve working life for staff.
