Junior doctors recently underwent a job title change to Resident doctors.
In May, the government accepted recommendations to give all resident doctors a pay rise of 4% + £750. But the British Medical Association (BMA) says this won’t reverse pay “erosion” since 2008. It is therefore balloting resident doctors about whether to strike.
