Resident doctors have called off strike action which was set to start tomorrow.
The British Medical Association said the Government had made a new offer at the last minute which would be put to its members for a vote.
The four-day strike is set to begin from 7am on Monday, June 15, until 6.59am on Friday June 19.
It was due to be the latest action as part of their long-running pay dispute and the 16th action since 2023.
The British Medical Association wants resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, to be given a pay increase that will make up for what they say is the 26% loss in the real-terms value of their salaries since 2008-09.
It also wants the NHS to expand training places for resident doctors.
New Health Secretary James Murray, who replaced Wes Streeting, said in May that the demands were unrealistic and unaffordable.
Dr Jack Fletcher, chair of the UK resident doctors committee, said: “We have always been clear that no strikes needed to go ahead if we received an offer appropriate to put to our members.
“This should not have been left to the last moment, but we hold up our end of the bargain when the Government shifts its position.
“All we have asked for is a fair offer that secures enough jobs to tackle the madness of doctor unemployment and take steps to address the erosion of our pay. Tens of thousands of frontline doctors will now vote in a referendum on whether this offer is sufficient.
“We will always negotiate in good faith and strikes are a last resort that we will only use in the face of complete Government intransigence. When Government moves, so do we.
“Doctors will now have their say. If they say no to this offer we will have to continue our plans for further escalated action across next month.”
