Kiss goodbye to those nice NHS reforms they were talking about.
The country cant afford a payrise
Just wipe their student loans if they work for the NHS for 10+ years
There goes any improvement in the NHS , and another step towards a government that finishes it off.
Resident doctors pay is down more than 1/5th in real terms whereas the country as a whole is at break even compared to 2008
If people really love the NHS like they claim they should write to their MP to get this mess sorted
Best and the brightest students don’t want to do medicine any more, we will see the consequences when it’s too late
They’re paid less than their assistants – the UK is a binfire.
After 22% last year? Come on. Nobody else in the public sector is getting anywhere close to these kind of pay rises.
They see the government as weak (which is true) and are trying to force their hand again. Meanwhile ordinary people are the ones who suffer because of the impact of these strikes on the NHS.
They will never be satisifed whatever the government throws at them. They could give them another 22% and will be the same story next year.
I get the principle of what they are asking for, but it seems massively unrealistic. Are other parts of the public sector taking the same approach? Because afaik it just seems to be the junior/resident doctors and the BMA.
Downvotes but presumably nobody has an answer.
I’m all for doctors getting paid more but they need to read the room…
Now is not the time after two consecutive huge pay increases.
when are other workers in the NHS and other health organisations going to get to strike Lol i think the care assistants getting beaten up on wards deserve more than minimum wage but it’s always these doctors striking and putting even more pressure on everyone else in the service
Doctors have seen the largest pay erosion out of all professions in recent years, if we want to retain talent then we need to accept that significant moves towards pay improvement are made
Cut all the waste in the NHS then use some of the savings on upping doctor pay
Doctors are not the problem.. They are the backbone of the NHS and they are being systematically undervalued despite years of gruelling training, high personal sacrifice and enormous professional responsibility..
Real-terms pay has been falling for over a decade and many doctors now face burnout, understaffed shifts and an exodus of colleagues to better-paid jobs abroad..
This is not about greed it is about justice, sustainability and the future of the NHS itself.. The same government that says we cannot afford fair pay always seems to find the money for wars, corporate subsidies and tax breaks for the wealthy..
If we truly value public health, we need to treat those who deliver it with dignity and fairness.. Otherwise, we risk losing the very people we rely on in our greatest moments of need..
Compare their income with other highly skilled jobs and you’ll find they may have a point

I think you should all go and search out the threads on here from Doctors about their pay. It’s very enlightening. You may well change your opinion.
Huh I thought that Streating bloke had it all sorted. That’s what he was bragging about so many months ago.
Support all strikes!
You’ll never know when it’s your sector needing it and in a country with huge pay stagnation…
Physician associates, a role developed to assist doctors are still paid more than many resident doctors while largely working Monday to Friday 9-5 without additional on call responsibilities – myself and colleagues are likely to continue voting to strike until this bizarre abnormality is fixed and training conditions are improved!
Imagine not supporting the very people who keep you alive. Resident doctors strike over pay and rightly so. Overworked, underpaid & treated like disposable parts. If we don’t back them now we’ll have no one left willing to pick up the stethoscope.
The government’s already importing foreign doctors to patch the cracks cause it’s cheaper than paying our own properly. UK med grads are leaving in droves for Australia and Canada and if this keeps up we’ll be outsourcing our entire healthcare system while pretending the NHS is still world class. Pathetic.
You wouldn’t need imported labour if you looked after your own first, understand that.
has there ever been a time where someone in the NHS hasn’t been striking in the last 5 years.
I am a newly qualified resident doctor due to start working in the NHS at the end of the month.
The prospect of being so significantly undervalued, overworked, underpaid, replaced by less qualified staff, and the risk of unemployment beyond my 2nd year of training, all has me currently debating whether to start my medical career or find a better alternative.
This is after a childhood and adulthood of studying and working, plus £150k of debt, all to achieve my dream of being a doctor. A childhood dream has become an adulthood nightmare.
I’m now contemplating switching careers to things like accounting or software engineering, where I would be valued and treated much better.
How about doing their fucking jobs first? They’ve had a 22% rise and now the greedy bastards want more?
They’re a disgrace at the moment.
Just scrap the NHS and bring in a regulated insurance market.
The Financial Ombudsman Service is ruthless with financial services firms and costs have plummeted there – with innovation through the roof. Just do that again.
The energy sector has price caps and competition between providers. Do that.
Wealthy people don’t need the NHS. So there’s millions cut from waiting lists.
The Americans get themselves in a mess because nothing is regulated. So, regulate.
