This is what the BMA says is in the new offer. The key thing here looks like the faster nodal point reform. So the average pay deal is the same but - apparently - doctors could move up the pay scale more quickly.

Mixed picture from latest UK data on viruses this afternoon. Half our office seems to have Covid at the moment but... some signs this wave has peaked. We are though continuing to see signs of possible early flu season with activity, particularly among kids, above baseline.
