Junior Doctors’ Pay Increase
03 Jul 2019

The British Medical Association (BMA) have negotiated a deal with NHS Employers and the Department of Health and Social Care designed to end the long running dispute that has seen strikes in England.  The full deal can be seen on the pdf that accompanies this news article but includes:

 

  • Increases to weekend and night shift (shifts ending after midnight and by 4am) pay
  • £1,000 a year extra for all less than full time trainees
  • A fifth nodal point on the payscale at the level of ST6
  • 'Section 2' transitional pay protection extended until 2025
  • Improved GP trainee mileage and confirmed supernumerary status
  • Improvements in rest and safety entitlements, with no more pay-to-stay when too tired to drive
  • Contractualised NROC/LTFT rostering guidance
  • Exception reporting for all ARCP/portfolio requirements
  • Guaranteed annual pay uplift of 2 per cent each year for the next four years

 

The deal has been endorsed by the BMA Junior Doctors Committee. BMA members who are junior doctors or final/penultimate year students in England will be entitled to vote and will receive an email inviting them to take part.

 

Junior doctors or final year students currently studying or working in the devolved nations can also vote if they can prove that they will be moving to England to work under the 2016 TCS from August.
