Resident doctors in the United Kingdom have called off planned strikes after receiving a last-minute offer from the government, the British Medical Union announced late on Saturday.

The strikes were initially scheduled to begin on Monday, June 15. However, the medical professionals' union decided to suspend the industrial action to allow for a referendum on the government's proposal.

This development has permitted further negotiation and potentially avoided significant disruption to healthcare services across the country while the membership considers the offer.
