NHS junior doctors set to strike again in England over pay

siteadmin August 10, 2023

Junior doctors in England are set to strike for the fifth time from August 11-15, likely disrupting hospital services, the British Medical Association has announced. Due to a recent High Court ruling, agency staff can no longer fill in for workers on strike, meaning previous cover arrangements are not possible. Over 450 hours of service, nearly 778,000 appointments, and more than 458,000 staff shifts have already been disrupted by strikes in the last five months.
