Resident doctors in England are set to stage a four-day strike in June, according to their union, saying yesterday that newly appointed health minister James Murray had not improved a pay offer they had previously rejected.
The walkout is due to run from June 15 to June 19, the British Medical Association said, warning further strike dates could follow in July if there was no progress in talks.
Resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – have carried out repeated strikes since early 2023 in a campaign focused on reversing historic pay erosion and relieving staffing pressures across the National Health Service.
In April, doctors staged a six-day strike after rejecting a government proposal, which ministers said would not be improved upon.
