BMA London - fair London Weighting for doctors
The cost of living and working in London has moved on, but the doctors’ London Weighting allowance remains unchanged since 2005. It’s time for that to change. We deserve a fair turn, it’s time for an increase.
BMA SE - Extra-contractual rates
By uniting as one, we hold the power to collectively withdraw from paid extra work beyond our contracts in the South East.
BMA LNC win for LED and Specialty doctors at UHCW
Following a strong campaign and two claims submitted by the BMA LNC on behalf of its members at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, we have welcomed an agreement with the Trust to develop frameworks for:
- Long-term LEDs working under terms similar to Resident (formerly Junior) Doctor contracts to be offered Specialty Doctor contracts. Many of our members met the Specialty Doctor requirements but were stuck on LED contracts for years.
- Specialty Doctors who believe they meet the Generic Capability Framework (GCF) and other criteria to transition to the Specialist Doctor grade. The Trust claimed there was no need for Specialist Doctors, but in reality, many of our members are already doing the work.
We’ll hold regular working group meetings with management to keep things moving forward, and we’ll keep members updated on our progress.
We also extend our thanks to the BMA LNC Representatives and the LED and Specialty Doctors at UHCW for their unity and determination, which made this agreement possible.
