In the latest ballot, 94.3% of consultants voted to accept a 5.26% average extra pay increase.
The British Medical Association said members "voted overwhelmingly in favour of the deal, putting to an end one of three pay disputes involving doctors working in secondary care".
"Consultants bear ultimate responsibility for patient care, they are key to addressing the waiting list crisis and lead on training doctors and clinical innovation, yet in Northern Ireland their pay did not reflect this level of responsibility." The pay offer also includes a revised consultant pay scale with uplifts at all pay points, the highest percentage uplift in the UK this year, and the highest consultant starting salary in the UK.
