Doctors’ London Weighting has been frozen since 2005. Enough is enough.

Today, BMA London has written to NHS London’s Regional Director calling for employers across the capital to come to the negotiating table.

We’re not there yet, but this is a good start and a result of our efforts.

More jobs and better career progression for doctors should never have taken strike action to achieve.

But finally starting to turn that tanker is the result of us standing together.

Your collective action has secured additional posts across 48 training programmes, plus 32 new academic clinical fellow posts.

On top of that last year’s Round 1 competition ratios are down significantly.

This is progress, and we’ll keep fighting for even more training posts.

That means several thousand pounds worth of compulsory exams will now be funded.

We said we would hold the Govt’s feet to the fire, and we’re doing just that.

The BMA @TheBMA Sep 14
Expensive exam fees have always been an unfair financial burden for resident doctors trying to progress in their careers. But this is set to change. As agreed in the deal made with the government earlier this year, resident doctors will soon be able to apply to have Medical Royal College and Faculty exams reimbursed.

A complete list of Medical Royal College and Faculty exams that will be covered is now available on our website and the Academy's website. bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

The system is expected to go live in the next few weeks, along with guidance on how to claim. Stay tuned for further updates 👀
