The only reason to rush through a vote on a offer without full scrutiny and to call off strikes at the 11th hour is if you are offered an incredible deal
Is this an incredible deal?
Members will get a vote on this offer.
I don’t think that this can be presented as bypassing members - it’s empowering every resident in our union with a decision.
The executive committee voted democratically, and it was decided to put this to members.
We received a deal at 10pm last night, it wasn’t possible to convene a committee meeting of 69 members at a few hours notice. The executive committee was the next best option.
There is now a clear decision for members:
Vote yes to accept this offer.
or
Vote no to reject and for significant escalation in action.
I think that is precisely the opposite of bypassing members!

It explains so much. The opposite of this is actually true. It’s time for obstetricians to start becoming more involved in maternity care. Midwives need to stop behaving as a barrier between women and doctors

This is a complete, shameful lie.
Most women go through their pregnancy in this country not even seeing a doctor, instead being managed by midwives who miss major medical issues.
De-medicalisation of maternity care is why we’re in this mess of poor maternal outcomes.

RT @mattster: 7/ So my read is that this is a strong non-pay package attached to a much more vulnerable pay offer.

In your limited and non-medical experience of what an F1/F2 does, where you want your own lack of knowledge to be acceptable.
Right.
This is like an astrologer trying to explain what an astrophysicist does.

I don't think strikes should have been called off for this. Bad faith actions for DHSC to hold this until the 11th hour. After years of acting in bad faith since the start of pay disputes years ago.
You should have told them it will be considered after the strike ends.

This is part of the announcement from the BMA in March when they rejected Streetings offer.
@fletchjack reading your statement here isn’t the new offer too similar to the one that you rejected ?
Murray is committed to training 6000 ACPs EVERY YEAR . These are Drs jobs .

Strikes should only be called off at the last minute if it's a slam dunk incredible deal
Do the RDC exec committee think this is incredible?
I don't see it

Not a serious offer. Sorry.
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.
The choice is yours:
Vote YES and accept the offer, or vote NO and return to escalated industrial action.

🚨Vote Down this Bad Deal🚨
The RDC officers were condemned by conference today and have responded _by cancelling strikes_.
Your elected reps were bypassed as it was clear the committee would never accept the same bad offer as last time.

Resident doctors: vote NO to this sellout. The BMA has called off strikes to push a deal that locks in 21% real-terms pay cuts. Break free from the bankrupt union bureaucracy. Build independent rank-and-file committees in every hospital. The way forward ⬇️ wsws.org/en/articles/2026/06…

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but @TheBMA has an opportunity to use strike data differently.
Some sites repeatedly request derogation.
Some sites say they use PAs/ACPs bc “recruitment issues” inc at consultant level, but scream for help during strikes
This needs investigation

It's borderline sub-inflationary, is not actually a 'new' 'last minute' offer at all - it is a recycled previously rejected offer that the RDC chair went to the exec to put out today immediately after the RDC voted to censure him for wasting strike mandate and collaborating with the government. There was no new contact and last-mintue offer.
This 'offer' (which contains no actual real-terms pay rise, as the DoH and Health Secretary are banging on about) already existed, and is bad. It is being put forward as an act of spite because his position was imperilled and, frankly, he is sympathetic tot he government.
There is a lot of politicking going on int he BMA, but essentially this is about the RDC chair selling out residents in order to try and preserve his profession. In many ways, a perfect mirror of Keir Starmer's current behaviour.

Get that ballot in the post today;-)
Polling shows the public value senior doctors working in the NHS, so why doesn’t the government?
We’re campaigning for a reversal of real-terms pay cuts for consultants and SAS doctors, and improvements to their working lives. We want to keep senior doctors in the workforce and make sure patients get the best care possible.
We are currently balloting consultants and SAS doctors in England for industrial action.
Vote now and make your voice heard.

The deal is rubbish and does not go far enough on pay. The whole point of the strikes is about pay. There's no path to full restoration. It's a NO from me
