Scottish resident doctors have agreed to a two-year pay deal, averting a planned strike. The agreement includes an 8.16% pay increase over the next two years, with additional investments that will accelerate doctors' progression through the pay scale. The British Medical Association estimates the deal will result in average pay uplifts of around 9.9% in 2025-26 and 9.4% in 2026-27, with individual increases ranging from 8.56% to 12.6%.
