Junior Doctors in the UK to Launch Five Consecutive Day Strike in November
Doctors in England are set to begin a five-day walkout in November, due to disputes regarding jobs and pay.
Strike Details
The BMA stated that resident doctors will strike for five consecutive days from 7am on 14 November to 7am on 19 November.
Junior physicians, who make up nearly 50% of all medical staff in the National Health Service, are proceeding with the strike after unsuccessful talks with the government.
Reasons Behind the Strike
Dr Jack Fletcher stated, “This is not where we wanted to be. We have spent the last week in talks with officials, urging the health secretary to end the crisis of doctors going unemployed.”
“We know from our own survey half of second-year doctors in the UK are struggling to find jobs, their talents being unused whilst millions of patients endure long waits for care and shifts in hospitals remain vacant. This cannot continue.”
He continued, “We negotiated sincerely, keen for the health secretary to understand that a deal including options to slowly restore the pay reductions over several years, giving newly trained doctors a raise of only £1 per hour for the coming four years.”
“We trusted the authorities would recognize that our demands are not just fair but are in the interest of the public and our those we treat and would also help stop our physicians leaving the health service.”
About Resident Doctors
Resident doctors have anywhere up to eight years’ experience practicing in hospitals, depending on their specialty, or up to three years in primary care.
