A pay rise of 28.9%. The highest pay rise in the entire public sector this year. A genuine commitment to work together on things like rotations, placements, progression. These are NOT the conditions for strike action. I urge the BMA to work with me.

I'm disappointed the BMA is going ahead with this week’s strike given the average consultant’s NHS earnings are expected to increase to £134K a year. My door's always open to discuss non-pay issues but this pay award is final so I urge the BMA to end their strikes immediately 👇

In an hour's time, around 50,000 resident doctors in England will begin a five day strike over pay. NHS bosses have called the action "unnecessary, irresponsible and reckless" with the Health Secretary warning it'll inflict "untold misery" on patients. Last-minute pleas have failed to stop the walkout, with the BMA doctors' union saying all that they're asking for is an extra £4 an hour. Jonathan Swain reports from Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
