Resident doctors to strike
Resident doctors in England will strike from 7:00 on 7 April to 6:59 on 13 April.
This follows a vote from UKRDC to reject the latest offer from the Government.
Unfortunately, it became clear in negotiations that the money proposed for pay increases was now going to be spread over three years.
This is on top of the pay review body (DDRB) recommendation of a pay uplift of just 3.5%.
Strikes can be avoided, but the Government must act fast.
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.

- Number of votes cast in the ballot: 28,598
- Votes cast in the ballot as a percentage of individuals who were entitled to vote: 52.54%
- Number of spoilt or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 17
Result of voting

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.
