This week, Parliament approved plans to allow electronic balloting for future industrial action. This will help make it easier for doctors to vote, and so reach the required threshold for action.
It follows changes to the rules on ballot thresholds, the notice period of industrial action, and picket line attendance which came in earlier this year.

Given September 2025 CPI was 3.8% a 3.5% consolidated pay rise - if accepted by government in the other 3 UK nations other than Wales - would produce a small negative PIA for AA pension growth

BREAKING: DDRB recommendation for a 3.5% consolidated uplift effective from 1 April for the following groups:
Consultants
Specialty, specialist, and associate specialist (SAS) doctors and dentists
Resident doctors and dentists
Locally employed doctors

A 3.5% pay award means another real terms pay cut for doctors in England.
With inflation already higher, this fails to address historic pay erosion and sends a clear message about how doctors are valued.

Right, let’s just point the finger at doctors.
Apparently years of underfunding, staff shortages, and zero winter planning had nothing to do with the crisis. It’s all down to a five-day strike.
Funny how the ones keeping the NHS afloat get blamed.

The @BMA_Pensions position on raiding our pension to fund pay rises is crystal clear 👇
"it would be completely unacceptable to raid their pensions to pay for [pay rises]. The SoS has not approached us about this proposal, but it is something we would outright reject

Additional NOT Instead
NHS England has an obsession ~ additional roles ARRS 31,000 have added 50m appt/year cost £1.4bn
Done at the expense of GPs by cutting core funding by 20%. Now 8000 fewer GPs than needed
8000 GPs would have provided 50m appts & cost approximately £700m

NHS Pension Scheme
‘Interesting’ that it runs a surplus of over £4.6bn per year
NHS staff with their ‘golden’ pensions costing the country £Millions. Well it appears not to be the case 🤔
