Resident doctors in England have called off strike action after the Government made a new offer which will be put to members.
They were set to stage a four-day walkout from 7am on Monday – the 16th round of strike action since 2023.
But the British Medical Association (BMA) said on Saturday that a last-minute offer had been made, which will be put to members.
At the last moment, ahead of next week’s action, the Government has moved and made a new offer for resident doctors in England.
Strikes for 15–19 June have been called off while members vote on a new offer covering jobs, pay and progression.

Dr Jack Fletcher, chairman of the BMA’s resident doctors committee (RDC), said: “We have always been clear that no strikes needed to go ahead if we received an offer appropriate to put to our members.
“This should not have been left to the last moment, but we hold up our end of the bargain when the Government shifts its position.”
“All we have asked for is a fair offer that secures enough jobs to tackle the madness of doctor unemployment and take steps to address the erosion of our pay. Tens of thousands of frontline doctors will now vote in a referendum on whether this offer is sufficient.
“We will always negotiate in good faith and strikes are a last resort that we will only use in the face of complete Government intransigence. When Government moves, so do we.
“Doctors will now have their say. If they say no to this offer, we will have to continue our plans for further escalated action across next month.”
