"Record Number of Junior Doctors in Britain Launch Unprecedented Six-Day Strike"

Junior doctors in England have commenced a six-day strike, leading to over 20 requests from NHS bosses for them to return to work to maintain patient safety, none of which have been granted by the BMA so far. The BMA accuses NHS England of political pressure to undermine the strike, while NHS England cites genuine concerns for patient care during a busy period. The strike has caused significant delays in A&E departments and led to critical incidents being declared at several hospitals. The BMA is open to ending the strike if a credible government offer is made, but the Health Secretary insists on halting the strike before negotiations can resume.
