@ShazBMA @TheBMA @GMB_union @Andrew_Jordan_ Absolutely Shazia - what a shame we have been put in this position with a 2.75% offer. So many more important things we should be doing not least organising RD strike action and supporting consultant and SAS doctors in their pay campaign to oppose their derisory 3.5% offer.

Rather be at my desk working today - doing what I do best - leading my region and advocating and representing our ⁦@TheBMA⁩ members ⁦⁦@GMB_union⁩ ⁦@Andrew_Jordan_⁩

🔴 LIVE from the picket line. GMB London Regional Organiser Donna Thomas is outside BMA headquarters today, where BMA staff are striking for fair pay. Since 2012 their pay has been eroded by nearly 17%. Enough is enough. #MembersFirst #FairPayattheBMA

Since 2012, BMA staff have seen their pay eroded by nearly 17%. Today they’re on the picket line, and 96% of them voted to be there, on an 80% turnout. This isn’t a protest. It’s a mandate. Read below👇 lbc.co.uk/article/bma-do…

@medicalmodelbri @SouthWestBMA @BMA_James_Steen I will alert the BMA IRO and RDC - thanks.

@SouthWestBMA @BMA_James_Steen who are the local BMA reps in #Devon . They need to challenge this

@RoyalDevonNHS splashing the cash with an internal ad for FOUR physician assistants to: ‘ work under the supervision of a Dr within the Emergency Department, not as a doctor or substitute, recognising and working within the limits of your competence and scope of practice’

🚨STRIKE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 @TheBMA staff are taking strike action on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th March 2026 @GMBLondonRegion picket lines will be held from 8am-2pm on 27th & 9-11am on 28th All BMA members that wish to show solidarity with staff are welcome #FairPayattheBMA

🚨BREAKING🚨 @TheBMA staff vote overwhelmingly to take strike action in @GMBLondonRegion ballot ‘Are you prepared to take part in strike action?’ Turnout: 80.18% Yes: 96.02% This is a clear signal that BMA staff will not accept yet another below inflation pay award.

We are aware of a number of doctors who have had their return travel to the UK disrupted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Our view is any affected doctor should receive paid special leave if they are delayed in returning to work due to the conflict. Members who have been affected or are being denied paid special leave by their employer should get in touch with us - bma.org.uk/about-us/conta…

Despite years of studying and training resident doctors are facing an unemployment crisis. This year, more than 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 specialty training places. Fixing the specialty training crisis is crucial – for doctors and patients bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

Due to the dangerous lack of planning and action taken by Obstetrics at QMC and The City Hospital in Nottingham, we are forced to accept the derogations: 1x resident (Sat 26 July) and 3x resident doctors tomorrow (Sun 27 July). 1/2 Protecting patient safety during strikes has always been a priority to the BMA, however the responsibility to ensure staffing falls upon trusts. If there are continued examples of this behaviour, a CQC report will be submitted.

This is why Resident doctors in England are taking a stand against the Government - it’s time to pay us what we're worth. Support us on the picket lines 📢 25 to 30 July #PayRestoration #DoctorsStrike bma.org.uk/residentspay

📣 Five days of strike action starts today. These strikes could have been averted, if @Wesstreeting had a credible offer for us to consider. ✊ Find your nearest picket: bma.org.uk/rdpicketlines Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together.

EXCL: Wes Streeting’s offer to the BMA in full - including cheaper lunches! This is what the doctors’ union rejected in favour of strikes: thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…

We've written to NHS England with concerns about inadequate planning ahead of possible strike action later this week. Attempts to run non-urgent services with fewer doctors risk patient safety. It's imperative that Trusts postpone work to protect urgent and emergency care.

🚨 Resident doctors rotating in Aug 🚨 Rotas were due last Wed (25th). Northern trusts knew which doctors were arriving on 15 May. Some still haven’t sent rotas. 6 weeks notice is the bare minimum & some can’t cope. ➡️ Use the BMA guide to chase yours: bit.ly/BMALateRota
