Junior doctor members of the British Medical Association (BMA) on the picket line outside St Thomas' Hospital, London, at the start of a five-day strike amid the continuing dispute over pay, the longest walkout of its kind in the history of the NHS, Thursday July 13, 2023
JUNIOR doctors are in their battle for decent salaries “for the long run,” their union warned today after the government insisted that there would be no improvement in its pay offer.
On Thursday, the government approved a 6 per cent pay increase for NHS staff recommended by the sector’s pay review body.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said today that the chance of more strikes was “very high” as the junior doctors remained on strike for the second of five days of planned action — reportedly the longest walkout in NHS history.
