Resident doctors in England have voted to accept the government's latest pay and job offer, their union said on Monday, bringing an end to a long-running industrial dispute that has disrupted the National Health Service.

The British Medical Association said 53% of its eligible members had backed the package in a referendum following the suspension of strike action earlier this month. Turnout was 57%, with 32,932 doctors voting.

The result draws a line under a dispute that began in 2023 with the previous Conservative government and led to more than a dozen rounds of industrial action.
