Consultants may join strike over doctors' pay
November 14, 2025
|The Guardian
Hospital consultants are gearing up to join resident doctors in striking, in a move that could cause huge disruption for the NHS and present ministers with a major new headache.
In addition, resident doctors - who will today embark on their latest strike - have decided to adopt a more militant approach in pursuit of their 26% pay claim. In a hardening of tactics, resident - formerly junior - doctors will strike every month in 2026 if, as they expect, they get a fresh legal mandate to continue their campaign of industrial action. They went on strike 11 times in 15 months from March 2023 to June 2024 but only once after that, in July this year.
Thousands of them will take part in what will be the 13th strike of their campaign, starting at 7am today and running until 7am next Wednesday, 19 November.
Consultants now look likely to add to ministers' acute difficulties over NHS pay, the Guardian can reveal. The British Medical Association's consultants committee has been in talks since September with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) about its demand for more than the 4% rise imposed for 2025-26.
They believe their salaries should rise this year by 5.5%-a further 1.5% -given the importance of their work.
