Consultant strike action paused
Consultant strike action suspended
Today (11 November), the BMA has announced that the planned strike action on 25 and 26 November has been paused to allow for further discussions.
On 26 October, the BMA confirmed two days of consultant strike action in England on 25 and 26 November.
NHS Employers will continue to keep employers updated on any further developments.
Our chief executive Ben Morrin said:
"Health leaders will welcome this decision taken by the BMA to suspend the strike action that had been planned by consultants later this month and enter negotiations with the government.
"This is a vital chance to reset the conversation, and we would urge both sides to use this opportunity to reach a fair, sustainable agreement, that will help maintain high-quality safe care for patients at a very challenging time.”
