Example motion 1:

That this meeting recognises the longstanding issues around the divergence of pay and Terms & Conditions for public health specialists across the UK, and applauds the suggested solutions outlined in the public health specialists manifesto 2022. It therefore calls upon the BMA to:-
i) seek all public health registrars, regardless of background, to be employed under the junior doctor contract in their respective nation;
ii) seek all public health consultants, regardless of background, to be employed under a national contract modelled on the medical consultants contract in their respective nation;
iii) ensure that all public health consultants and trainees, irrespective of their place of employment, are awarded the same pay, terms and conditions of services as equivalent NHS employees;
iv) seek negotiating rights on behalf of public health doctors employed by local authorities;
v) explore closer relationships and new ways of working with other trades unions where appropriate.
