Our aims
Following the failure of Government to offer a pay award for 2025/26 that keeps resident doctors on the path to full pay restoration, we’ve announced our ballot for industrial action.
The ballot will open on 27 May and close on 7 July.
Find out if you can take part in industrial action as a resident doctor.
