Ep 320: BMA Special - Resident doctors strike AGAIN (plus 1,000 doctors lost?)

On this week's Medics' Money podcast, host Cyra (a chartered accountant and doctor) interviews BMA UK Resident Doctor's Committee leaders Shiv (deputy chair, psychiatry ST3) and Arjun (education and training co–deputy chair, BMA director) about ongoing resident doctor strikes. They say negotiations after December strikes were initially constructive but collapsed when the government shifted a proposed pay investment from two years to three, reduced it, and labeled it a “best and final offer,” then refused to negotiate while strikes were called. They criticise the Prime Minister’s removal of 1,000 training posts, warning it worsens workforce shortages, creates bottlenecks, and harms patients. They discuss job insecurity, doctor substitution, training capacity concerns, and NHS mismanagement and waste, arguing a credible pay offer and clear plans for training posts and progression are needed to end strikes.
