We fully support resident doctors in their fight for #PayRestoration Consultants in England – read our guidance on working during strike action bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…
At today's RDC meeting, we’ve voted to go ahead with strike action. Last week when we met @wesstreeting we were open to finding solutions to restore pay and improve working conditions. Today, we still do not have a credible offer on the table @Melissa_S_Ryan @RossNieuwoudt
Consultant clinical academics and senior academic GPs who are members of the BMA should have received this also and are eligible to take part. Check your junk folder or your details on bma.org.uk/my-bma if you haven’t received the email.

Consultants and SAS doctors in England - look out for your indicative ballot email from @TheBMA today! Wes Streeting called pay restoration "a journey, not an event" - so why have we stopped? Are you prepared to stand up to demand your value is recognised by the government?
Welcome news from our resident doctor colleagues, who we fully support in the fight for pay restoration. Soon consultants in England will have a chance to vote on our own eroded pay, with an indicative ballot opening 21 July. Vote YES when the ballot opens.
The results are in: we have a clear mandate to strike. More than 90% of you who voted in our ballot, voted YES. You’ve made it clear: enough is enough. Our fight for full #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England continues.
Consultant pay continues to lag behind comparator countries and professions, pay restoration is vital to retain our senior doctors. The indicative ballot will include public health consultants in 🏴, make sure you vote YES to send a message to the govt!

‘At that level of pay increase it would take 38 years for our pay to recover’. Deputy chair Mike Henley (@trentconsultant) speaks to @LBC this morning, explaining the rationale for consultants and SAS doctors to launch an indicative ballot over their recent pay offers.
As soon as the pay award was announced we wrote to the Secretary of State demanding negotiations; the DDRB changes have been ignored and the journey to pay restoration well and truly stalled. We've heard nothing. We want to talk but continued silence should inform your vote.
On 21 July, new indicative ballots will open for consultants and SAS doctors in England. Together we can act to tackle pay erosion and value doctors properly. Learn more: 🔗Consultants: bma.org.uk/ConsultantsPay 🔗SAS doctors: bma.org.uk/SASpay

A meagre 4% pay uplift means most consultants in England will not have #PayRestoration during their working lives. Both the DDRB and the Government have failed us. We cannot let last year’s commitment slide so are immediately entering dispute with the Government.
A 4% pay uplift, less than current inflation, is an insult to doctors in England. This Government has shown it simply doesn’t value doctors. “The DDRB has failed doctors. If this is the best they can do, government needs to think again.” says @DrPhilBanfield This ‘award’…
Our pay award for this year is due and we cannot allow the pace of pay restoration to stall. Be ballot ready. Let’s unite again. Let’s fight to restore our pay and restore our value ✅ Update your BMA details 🔗 brnw.ch/21wS5NP
Last year consultants in England achieved so much in our fight for fair pay, but still face 26% pay erosion. Why should we work 3 months of the year for free? ✅ Update your BMA details 📣 Be ballot ready 🔗 brnw.ch/21wS2cg
The DDRB's report to government is late and this puts vital pay reforms at risk. We have today written to @wesstreeting asking him to: 📢 Publish the report immediately upon receipt 🤝Enter good-faith negotiations if recommendations fall short Doctors deserve fair pay and action…

Honoured to be at the BMA consultant committee annual conference 2025. @TheBMA
Chair of NICC David Farren brought motion 7 to #consultantsconf condemning the persistent late payment of DDRB uplifts in NI and calling for uplifts to be paid on time across all nations and asks for complete payments to be made instead of instalments. Motion is carried.
