Resident doctors in England to stage four-day strike in June
Resident doctors in England are set to stage a four-day strike starting June 15 due to ongoing disputes over pay and job conditions. The British Medical Association (BMA) has criticized the new health secretary for not addressing their demands, which include a pay increase to compensate for significant salary losses since 2008. If no progress is made, the BMA has indicated that further strikes could occur in July.
- ▪The strike will take place from 7am on June 15 until 6.59am on June 19.
- ▪This will be the 16th strike by resident doctors since March 2023.
- ▪The BMA is demanding a pay increase to address a 26% loss in real-terms salary value since 2008/09.
