Related: Junior doctors' contract deal: what was agreedDr Johann Malawana, the chair of the BMA’s junior doctors committee (JDC), who had recommended the revised terms and conditions as the best settlement junior doctors could get, resigned from his position after the results were announced. NHS junior doctors have voted to reject the government’s final offer on their new contract, despite weeks of talks to try to broker a settlement. “Junior doctors have voted decisively to reject this new contract because it is fundamentally flawed. “I am profoundly disappointed the BMA has rejected the proposed new contract for junior doctors,” the chief executive, Danny Mortimer, said. “The result of the vote is clear, and the government must respect the informed decision junior doctors have made,” Malawana said.
