It comes after weeks of pay negotiations which began in April this year after sustained pressure from BMA Cymru Wales.
Junior doctors, specialist doctors and consultants in Wales have voted to accept the Welsh Government ’s pay offer, putting an end to pay disputes which had resulted in strike action.
BMA Cymru Wales said 86% of consultants also voted to accept a revised consultant pay scale which will improve early years pay and increase career average pay to retain the senior workforce. Dr Stephen Kelly, chair of BMA Cymru Wales’ consultants committee, said: "We’re pleased to have been able to reach a fairer settlement for senior doctors in Wales and we hope that this significant offer will help to retain the doctors currently working in Wales as well as attracting more, which will ultimately be beneficial for patients."
"Each of the BMA’s three branches of practice voted overwhelmingly in favour of accepting the respective pay offers. "Implementing these offers will end this dispute and industrial action, meaning doctors will return to work in Wales for the benefit of the public and NHS services.
