If your finances are a barrier to taking part in the upcoming resident doctor strikes, then support is available.
The BMA Strike Fund exists to help those who may otherwise struggle to strike, ensuring more of us can take part.
If you know a colleague who might be in this situation, encourage them to apply here: bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/the…

Strikes announced. We had hoped a change of leadership at the Department of Health & Social Care would be a chance to reset talks. Instead, there’s been no new fair offer on pay and no concrete commitment on jobs. That’s why resident doctors are taking action. See you on the picket line.

The GMC reforms that are on the table won’t fix what’s broken.
Doctors are being let down by a system that lacks fairness, patients are feeling the impact too. We need to see real change. Sign the petition👉 petition.parliament.uk/petit…

This story in The Times is a lie.
Only the tens of thousands of resident doctor members we represent can agree a deal.
Our negotiating team has a clear mandate from our committee and members to get back around the table and that is what the Health Secretary needs to engage with. Time spent briefing out misleading accounts of events would be better spent getting a final deal done.

Today, doctors across the country are out taking strike action.
This dispute is driven by an entirely avoidable crisis on jobs and pay. Right now, resident doctors are facing a real terms pay cut and growing unemployment. They need jobs and fair pay for the work they do.
No one wants to strike. But without a credible offer on the table, doctors are left with no alternative.

The clocks change this weekend!
If you are working a long day in England you still need 11 hours rest in between shifts.
The clocks go forward and may reduce this to <11hrs.
If rotas haven’t been adjusted for the clock change - you should exception report.
It's about safety.

Resident doctors have been left with no choice but to strike. Weeks of negotiations with the Government have failed to deliver enough progress on pay, with the goalposts being moved at the last minute.
We have called six days of industrial action to make the Government listen, stop the game playing, and come back with an offer that delivers fairly on both jobs and pay.

We are aware of a number of doctors who have had their return travel to the UK disrupted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Our view is any affected doctor should receive paid special leave if they are delayed in returning to work due to the conflict.
Members who have been affected or are being denied paid special leave by their employer should get in touch with us - bma.org.uk/about-us/contact-…

Strikes will GO AHEAD from 17-22 December, after resident doctors in England voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest offer from @wesstreeting.

The gov has failed to come to the table again, despite a letter asking them to negotiate. Therefore strikes have been announced today. Jobs and pay, we need movement on both, the current situation is untenable.

“Patients need doctors and doctors need jobs”
Today, we've written to @wesstreeting to ask the Government to resume talks – and work with us to agree a viable deal on pay and jobs.
Without movement on both, we’ll be left with no choice but to return to the picket lines.

We’re 2,147 anaesthetic doctors short, and the gap is growing.
Surgeries are cancelled every day because of it.
There’s capacity to train more, yet the government threatens to cut doctor jobs.
Patients are being denied the care they deserve.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.
We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.

.@JeremyVineOn5 should to issue a retraction of demonstrably false information @thecarolemalone spouted here
FT 37.5hrs a week is for AfC staff, not doctors
FT for doctors is 40hrs, and they’re rostered to work up to 48 a week and receive no increased rate for working above 40
"Resident doctors graduate from medical school with £100,000 of debt."
"The interest on that debt is calculated by RPI."
@RossNieuwoudt answers @thecarolemalone's questioning of figures used by the BMA to illustrate real-terms pay erosion.

Following yesterday’s strike ballot result, we met with @wesstreeting
It’s clear: the Government is refusing to negotiate on pay.
We are now preparing for a full 5 day walk-out, beginning on Friday 25 July.
Our door will always be open to constructive talks.
#PayRestoration
ALT Resident doctors in England are preparing for a full five day walkout, following the announcement of yesterday's strike ballot result - which returned a yes vote. The strike dates will be 25-30 July 2025.
Adam Crellin retweeted
The results are in: we have a clear mandate to strike.
More than 90% of you who voted in our ballot, voted YES.
You’ve made it clear: enough is enough.
Our fight for full #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England continues.

As a working class kid who became a doctor, my biggest concern is that I can't get a training number or job
It’s not talent that is unevenly distributed in our society, it is opportunity.
I’m determined to smash through the class ceiling in medicine, to make sure that working class kids from backgrounds like mine and @bphillipsonMP can achieve their dreams 👇🏻
