flag UK resident doctors to vote on extending strikes until August 2026 over pay and job security.

flag Resident doctors in England will vote from December 8 to February 2 on extending their strike mandate for six months, potentially allowing industrial action until August 2026 over unresolved pay and job security disputes. flag The British Medical Association says the government delayed meaningful offers until after strikes began, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting criticized the move, highlighting recent pay increases and career improvements, and warned further strikes harm patients and the NHS. flag The last strike cost an estimated £300 million, with NHS leaders warning of potential service cuts. flag Both sides agree prolonged action is damaging, but the BMA insists renewed strike authority is needed to force a substantive government offer.
