Junior doctor: Specifics of contract need negotiation

Available for over a year

Junior doctors and medical students in England have voted to reject the contract that has been offered to them by the government. British Medical Association members voted 58% to 42% against accepting the deal. BMA leaders had urged members to accept the terms, which were announced in May after talks with the government resumed following six strikes.
