At the last moment, ahead of next week’s action, the Government has moved and made a new offer for resident doctors in England.
Strikes for 15–19 June have been called off while members vote on a new offer covering jobs, pay and progression.
The BMA
Doctors and healthcare workers already experience the consequences of this in their workplaces, with rising reports of racism, hostility, and intimidation.
The NHS depends on an international workforce. We stand with our colleagues and will challenge rhetoric that puts them at risk.
Obesity is now one of the greatest contributors to the gap in healthy life expectancy between our most and least deprived communities.
So we've joined with the Obesity Health Alliance to call for urgent action from the Government.

New figures show nearly 3,000 NHS patients EVERY DAY are treated in corridors and other inappropriate spaces.
This should be a source of national shame.
We hope publishing these new statistics, after joint work from the BMA and other organisations, makes it harder for the Government not to act.
We remain horrified by the conditions endured by Palestinian healthcare workers arbitrarily detained by Israeli authorities, including Dr Abu Safiya.
The Foreign Office responded to our letter that called for their unconditional release.

We are deeply saddened by the recent incidents and extend our condolences to the victims’ families.
We are seeing these events used by the far right to push a racist and anti migrant agenda, which is driving division and putting people at risk.
The choice is yours:
Vote YES and accept the offer, or vote NO and return to escalated industrial action.
Full details of the offer and how to vote will be shared soon.
We continue to urge the UK Government to use all available leverage, alongside international partners, to ensure Israeli authorities uphold #IHL, release those arbitrarily detained, and ensure access to healthcare.
