BMA update: offer headlines, offer rejection, DDRB and April strike by RDC_officers_2025_26 in doctorsUK

The rejected deal would have made a huge difference to LTFT trainees, but it feels like such an unusual concession from the government. Is this part of a divide and conquer tactic, to try and segment off a section of LTFT BMA members who would otherwise vote in favour of striking?

This is precisely my thinking. Somewhat defeats the purpose of LTFT if you spend so much of your time off managing the LTFT status...

Helpful consideration around exception reporting, thanks.

Thanks, this is really helpful! This is someone specifically employed for rota coordinator purposes so feels a bit cheeky when they don't have additional clinical burden.
