This offer roughly addresses the last few years, but at the rate since 2023 it will take several more years for resident doctors to achieve pay restoration & parity with 'all workers, all sectors' in terms of changes to real terms pay compared to 2009. ⬇️

The pay offer for resident doctors (backdated uplift to 2023 and accepting the DDRB recommendation for 2024) is a start.

There is still a long way to go, the key will be whether future pay awards continue the trend (sadly no binding commitment to this journey this week).

The little one’s favourite word at the moment seems to be “door”, often as an instruction that he wants something behind one!

Somehow he’s now ticked off all the ‘developmental firsts’ in the ‘red book’ except this one? 📕🤣😭…
