Concerns over strike by junior doctors following heatwave

Junior doctors across England are set to strike, causing anticipated major disruption in NHS services during a heatwave. This comes as the country is on yellow heat alert and will be the 11th such walkout due to an ongoing pay dispute. The recent cyber attack has also impacted capacity of major hospitals like Guys’ and St Thomas’ and King’s in London. While the strike is scheduled amidst this crisis, some senior junior doctors will be allowed to work to prevent dangerous delays in cancer care.
