This is Sara who is an F2. Her concerns are around jobs and the worry that she will not have a job come August. They are worried that they will not be able to afford to live and have to move out of their home. Maybe Wes Streeting will give her an early Christmas present?

This is Ella and Marcin. Both IMT1 doctors. They are on strike for full pay restoration. They don't feel like there commitment and expertise are valued and if pay isn't increased we won't retain these doctors for the future Resident Doctors

Joined by many resident doctors at St Thomas’ today. Frustration is growing amongst doctors as Wes Streeting refuses to meaningfully address dr unemployment and has suggested a real terms pay cut for 2026. The Government can end the strikes; put a credible offer on the table.
