Doctors in England planning to go on strike in the run-up to Christmas are considering a new offer from the government to end the long-running dispute.
Resident doctors, formerly junior doctors, will walk out from 7am on 17 December until 7am on 22 December.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has appealed to doctors to accept the government's latest package.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said it will consult members by surveying them online on whether or not the deal from the government is enough to call off next week's walkout.
The poll will close on Monday - just two days before the five-day strike is set to start.
The union said the new offer includes new legislation to ensure UK medical graduates are prioritised for speciality training roles.
It also includes an increase in the number of speciality training posts over the next three years - from 1,000 to 4,000 - with more to start in 2026.
Funding for mandatory Royal College examination and membership fees for resident doctors is also part of the deal.
It does not address resident doctors' demand for a 26% salary rise over the next few years to make up for the erosion in their pay in real terms since 2008 - this is on top of a 28.9% increase they have had over the last three years.
Mr Streeting warned a resident doctors' strike over Christmas would have a "much different degree of risk" than previous walkouts.
It coincides with pressures facing the NHS, with health chiefs raising concerns over a "tidal wave" of illness and a "very nasty strain of flu".
A new strain of the flu virus is thought to be much more infectious than previous strains and has already led to a record number of patients needing urgent hospital care.
The union's mandate to strike is set to expire shortly, but Mr Streeting has offered to extend it to allow the medics to take action later in January if they reject his offer.
He called the union's decision not to take it up "inexplicable".
Last week, NHS England chief executive Sir Jim Mackey branded the decision by doctors to strike as "something that feels cruel" and which is "calculated to cause mayhem at a time when the service is really pulling all the stops out to try and avoid that and keep people safe".

BMA resident doctors committee chair Dr Jack Fletcher said the latest government offer "is the result of thousands of resident doctors showing that they are prepared to stand up for their profession and its future".
"It should not have taken strike action, but make no mistake: it was strike action that got us this far," he said.
"We have forced the government to recognise the scale of the problems and to respond with measures on training numbers and prioritisation.
"However, this offer does not increase the overall number of doctors working in England and does nothing to restore pay for doctors, which remains well within the government's power to do."
