☆ UK reaches deal with unions which could end senior doctor strikes
  + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Kylie Maclellan | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
REUTERS/Susannah Ireland/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The British government and medical trade unions said on Monday they had reached a deal which could see an end to months of disruptive strike action by senior doctors in England. This would see a clearer link between pay progression and evidence of skills, competencies and experience, it added. Under the offer, consultants will reach the top of the pay scale five years sooner than now, it added. Sunak has made cutting NHS patient waiting lists one of his top priorities ahead of an election expected next year. More than 7.8 million people in England are on a waiting list for hospital treatment and more than a million appointments have been rescheduled by strike action.

☆ Junior doctors in England to stage three-day strike from March 13
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Junior doctors - who agreed in 2019 to an annual 2% pay rise as part of a four-year deal but say that is now inadequate in light of much higher inflation. Junior doctors are qualified physicians, often with several years of experience, who work under the guidance of senior doctors and represent a sizeable chunk of Britain's workforce of doctors. While nurses have paused strikes scheduled for March as their union holds talks with the government, ambulance and other health workers are planning further strike action. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's deputy spokesperson said news of the junior doctors' strike was "disappointing". The Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association said the fewer than 1,000 junior doctors in its membership would also stage a separate three-day strike from March 13.
☆ UK healthcare strikes to intensify as junior doctors vote to walk out

Junior doctors agreed in 2019 to an annual 2% pay rise as part of a four-year deal but say that is now inadequate in light of much higher inflation. "This vote shows, without a shadow of a doubt, the strength of feeling among most of England’s junior doctors," the BMA said. The BMA describes junior doctors as those who are qualified in clinical training and have up to eight years' experience working as a hospital doctor or up to three years in general practice. Another trade union for doctors, the Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association, said its junior doctor members had also voted to carry out strike action in a separate ballot. More than 10,000 ambulance workers were on strike on Monday, while the nursing trade union last week announced a fresh 48-hour strike from March 1.
