Doctors Prepare to Vote for Better Pay
Resident doctors in Scotland are preparing to vote on whether to take strike action due to a remuneration deal.
A five-week ballot will be held in the run-up to Christmas, as announced by the BMA. If the vote is in favor, resident doctors could go on strike for the first time in Scotland early next year.
The ballot opens on November 14, coinciding with the scheduled strike by resident doctors in England, who are seeking pay restoration.
In 2023, Scotland avoided resident doctor strikes, as the Scottish Government pledged to make "credible progress" towards pay restoration.

However, resident doctors in Scotland entered a formal dispute with the Scottish Government three weeks ago, claiming ministers had reneged on this commitment.
The vote will determine the course of action for resident doctors in Scotland, potentially leading to strike action.
