- 🧵1/2 Despite holding talks with the Government and giving them a clear deadline to present us with an acceptable offer we could put to SAS doctors, we have received no such offer. We now have no option but to move to an indicative ballot on strike action: bma.org.uk/pay-and-contra…
- SAS members in England have voted YES to give us a mandate for strike action. We also have a pay offer from Government, which we'll put to members via referendum. Until the pay offer referendum is complete, we won't call strike action.
00:00 - SAS doctors in England have spoken and delivered a decisive YES result in the indicative ballot. The Government has written to us and offered to meet with us next week. We have accepted their offer and will continue to negotiate in good faith. More 👇 bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…
- The specialist doctors’ ballot is now closed and members have voted YES to give us a mandate for strike action. See the full ballot results 👇 bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

- “We’re fed up of not being paid fairly and we’re fed up of not being valued” Indicative ballot for strike action now open. Vote YES by 16 October ❌
00:00 - Excluding #SASdoctors in England from annual pay uplifts is a gross injustice. We have seen our real terms pay fall by over a quarter over the last 15 years. Read our letter to @SteveBarclay today. @drujjwalam
- If the Government fails to address pay and working conditions for #SASdoctors, then we will move forward with an indicative ballot for industrial action in England. Read the letter from our chair @drujjwalam to @SteveBarclay 👇
- “It feels demeaning.” #SASdoctors are highly qualified and valuable members of the NHS team, but we are not treated fairly. Here’s why we urge SAS doctors in England to vote YES in our indicative ballot. #FairPayFullyValued bma.org.uk/pay-and-contra…
00:00 - SAS doctors in England, we recently extended the deadline for our talks with Government in the hope we could agree an improved offer that we could put to you. The deadline has now passed, even though we made progress, we’re yet to reach an agreement. 👇
- Replying to @BMA_SASNow’s the time for us to make good on our promise and begin preparing for our first strike action. While we prepare to strike, we’re continuing talks with Government and are hopeful a deal can still be reached. Read the update and get ready to strike 👇bma.org.uk/saspay
- 📣 The indicative ballot for SAS doctors is now open. Let’s fight for fair pay and for SAS doctors to be fully valued. Have your say before 16 October❌ bma.org.uk/pay-and-contra…
