Resident doctors to vote on Government offer
Resident doctors in England have called off their June strike action after the Government presented an offer on pay and jobs. The BMA's UK Resident Doctors Committee have decided to present this offer to you neutrally and factually.
The referendum on the offer is now open and will close at noon on Friday 26 June 2026 so check your emails from Civica containing your voting link.
Read all the details on the offer and what it means for you on both pay and jobs.
If you have not received your email from Civica containing your voting link, please fill in the BMA referendum request form as soon as possible to make sure you can vote before the deadline.

A brief history of our campaign
After 11 rounds of historic strike action, we reached a deal with Government in September 2024 that started a journey towards pay restoration.
