- Resident doctors in England have voted to accept a government offer on pay and working conditions, bringing an end to a year of industrial action.
- The agreement includes the implementation of standard 2016 resident doctor contract terms for all locally employed medics.
- An average pay uplift of 6.6 per cent is set to be fully rolled out by April 2027, alongside 4,500 additional specialty training places over the next three years.
- This package will result in resident doctor pay being, on average, 35.2 per cent higher than it was four years ago, according to the Department of Health and Social Care.
- Health Secretary James Murray welcomed the deal, stating it allows the NHS to "draw a line under the disruption" and focus on rebuilding the health service.
