Striking NHS doctors vote to continue action for another six months amid ongoing pay row

NHS resident doctors in England have voted to continue industrial action for another six months as part of their ongoing row over pay and jobs.

The British Medical Association (BMA) wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “An overwhelming 93.4 per cent of resident doctors in England have voted for further strike action, giving a clear mandate to continue pressuring the government on jobs and pay in 2026. The overall turnout was 52.54 per cent. Stay tuned for updates on our next steps.”
