I'm appealing to resident doctors to vote for this deal, which will boost job opportunities and put more money in their back pockets We can draw a line under the strikes before Christmas. We can end the disruption and rebuild the NHS together. https://t.co/a5j9slU57B

Hello @BMAResidents We’ve now shared the offer from Wes Streeting. On the headline, it sounds big: “4,000 jobs.” But you need to read the detail, not the headline. First: it’s only 1,000 more jobs this year. We currently have around 10,000 training posts and more than 30,000
