Junior Physicians in the UK to Launch Five Consecutive Day Strike in November
Doctors in England are set to stage a five consecutive day strike in November, due to disputes regarding jobs and pay.
Walkout Information
The BMA stated that junior physicians will strike for five days in a row from 7am on 14 November to November 19 at 7am.
Resident doctors, who make up about half of all medical staff in the National Health Service, are taking this action after failed negotiations with the health department.
Reasons Behind the Strike
Dr Jack Fletcher commented, “This is not where we wanted to be. We have been negotiating for the past week with government, urging the health minister to end the crisis of doctors going unemployed.”
“We know from our own survey 50% of second-year physicians in the UK are facing unemployment, their skills going to waste whilst millions of patients wait endlessly for treatment and hospital shifts go unfilled. This is a situation which cannot go on.”
He continued, “We talked with the government in good faith, keen for the minister to understand that a deal including options to slowly restore the cuts to pay over several years, giving newly trained doctors a pay increase of just a pound an hour for the coming four years.”
“We hoped the government would see 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 departing from the health service.”
About Resident Doctors
Junior physicians have anywhere up to eight years’ experience working as a hospital doctor, based on their field, or as many as three years in general practice.
Further information are expected shortly.
