Resident doctors will ballot for strike action over ‘ignored’ demands for pay, the British Medical Association has announced.
The union said three weeks had passed since it warned the Government of the ‘consequences of the absence of a reasonable, timely pay offer’.
The ballot will open on May 27 and closes on July 7.
Resident doctor is the new term for junior doctor and refers to more than 50,000 qualified doctors working in GP practices and hospitals, from graduates to medics with a decade of experience.
