Resident doctors call for credible offer
In April, resident doctors undertook their 15th round of industrial action following weeks of negotiations. This was a result of the Government moving the goalposts at the last minute and so failing to deliver a credible offer.
Once it became clear that the money being proposed for pay increases was going to be spread over three years, on top of the DDRB’s derisory recommendation of a pay uplift of just 3.5%, residents had no option but to call for strike action.
Our door remains open for further talks.
Stronger together
Resident doctors returned a decisive ‘yes’ vote in their re-ballot in January.
This re-ballot unites all resident doctors, including FY1s, under one strong mandate as we continue the fight for jobs and pay.

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.
But the deal with Government was just the first step.
