Resident doctors in England have agreed a "window for negotiations" with Health Secretary Wes Streeting, aimed at resolving their ongoing pay dispute following a five-day strike.

We are still down compared to even the pandemic in 2020, Dr Emma Runswick, a resident doctor in Greater Manchester and deputy chair of the BMA council, stated. The reward for working to get the country through Covid has been a real-terms pay cut, which was not the treatment expected during the days when people lined the streets to clap for health workers.

The British Medical Association has announced that resident doctors in England will initiate a five-day strike over pay disputes, starting from 7am on July 25.
