Specialist, associate specialist and specialty (SAS) doctors in England can vote from Friday on whether to accept an improved pay offer from the government.

The British Medical Association (BMA) is recommending that doctors back the deal, which will see SAS doctors on open contracts receiving an increase of up to 19% since 2022/23.
