I'm running for London Council. I negotiated the 22% pay uplift, broke the locum cap locally as an f1/2 & won back incorrectly deducted strike pay. I'm standing with an experienced & driven team to scrap the locum cap and revise London weighting. Vote:elections.bma.org.uk

The results are in: 97.36% of FY1s in England voted YES for strike action. This puts the specialty training crisis firmly on the negotiating table, alongside #PayRestoration. Thank you to everyone who voted in the ballot. #EndTrainingCrisis

Earlier this week we met with Wes Streeting - since then, we've been in discussions with Government on pay and jobs. Your RDC will now vote on proposed areas of negotiation and whether we should enter formal talks – or use our mandate to strike.

🚨 Strike action confirmed 🚨 Resident doctors in England will walk out 7am, 14–19 Nov. We don’t take this step lightly but pay restoration and jobs can’t wait. 🔗 bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/… #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis

“We find ourselves in an absurd situation.” Callum Parr has spoken to BBC News on why resident doctors in England are left with no choice but strike action

Over the past five days, resident doctors have been taking to the picket lines across England. From London to Manchester, Portsmouth to Newcastle, we’ve come together to make our voices heard. bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/… #PayRestoration #EndTrainingCrisis

I’m an IMT1 working in London. If I’d applied this year, I wouldn’t even have got an interview. This broken system is not fit for purpose, and is failing excellent doctors who just want to progress in their careers. The Government can’t sit on their hands any longer.

After our last round of strike action, we gave Wes Streeting a window to deliver sufficient progress towards a viable deal on jobs and pay. That hasn’t happened. We’ve been given no choice but to return to the picket lines. #EndTrainingCrisis #PayRestoration

It’s unacceptable that NHS psychiatry trainees are being denied exam places, delaying their progress through training. We’re urging Royal College of Psychiatrists to prioritise UK doctors and expand capacity for Jan 2026 as a matter of urgency. Read our letter 👇
