Source: Resident doctors in England accept pay deal and end strikes – BBC News
Resident doctors in England have voted to accept the government’s offer on pay and jobs, bringing an end to three years of strikes.
The offer includes more training jobs, faster pay progression and a plan to cover out-of-pocket expenses like exam fees.
Patients have seen hundreds of thousands appointments cancelled due to industrial action over the past few years.
Some 53% of eligible British Medical Association members voted in favour in a referendum. The turnout was 57%, with 32,932 doctors voting.
The offer includes a 3.5% pay rise this year, as recommended by an independent review body.
