Junior doctors make up more than two in five medics at Somerset Trust – as strike takes place across England
mnrjournal.co.uk/news/junior-doctors-make-up-more-than-two-in-five-medics-at-somerset-trust-as-strike-takes-place-across-england-607344
Quick Glance: Emergency and urgent care will be prioritized as the NHS faces a "incredibly difficult week" during the junior doctors' strike.
- During this week's junior doctors' strike, people are being urged to "avoid risky behavior" because emergency and urgent care will take precedence over routine appointments and treatment.
- With the health service set to lose the "majority of their workforce" due to strikes, Mr Taylor believes the government and British Medical Association (BMA) must begin negotiations.
- The organization has stated that if the government makes a "credible" pay offer, the strikes could be avoided.
- "A salary hike of this size would see some junior doctors receiving more than an extra £20,000 a year," he said.
