Doctors in England have voted to accept a pay and conditions offer, the UK government announced on Monday, bringing to an end a year of strike action.
The so-called resident doctors — those below consultant level — have accepted an average 6.6 per cent pay uplift to be implemented by April 2027.
The deal will mean medics’ pay will be more than 35 per cent higher on average than it was four years ago, the Department of Health said.
It will also see 4,500 extra speciality training places being established over the three years.
“This is very good news for resident doctors, patients and the NHS as a whole, allowing us to draw a line under the disruption of previous months and focus on getting on with the job of rebuilding our health service,” said Health Secretary James Murray.
