Junior doctor offered new pay deal in England


The government and the BMA trade union are expected to confirm junior doctors in England have struck an improved pay deal.

It’s thought the deal represents a 22.3% pay rise over two years.

The BMA’s junior doctors’ committee has agreed to put the offer to its members.

If accepted it would spell an end to long-running strike action which has led to the cancellation of hundreds of thousands of appointments since March 2023.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to announce the terms of the deal in the Commons later.
