Junior Doctors to Begin Nationwide Strike Across UK from Tomorrow
London (Health Desk) – Junior doctors across the United Kingdom are set to begin a nationwide strike from tomorrow, protesting pay disputes and working conditions.
The walkout, organized by the British Medical Association (BMA), is expected to last several days and will impact hospitals and healthcare services throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Emergency care will remain operational, but thousands of non-urgent appointments and procedures are likely to be delayed or canceled.
The doctors are demanding a significant pay restoration, arguing that their real-term earnings have fallen sharply over the past decade. “We are left with no choice,” said a BMA spokesperson. “This strike is about fair pay and a sustainable future for the NHS.”
The UK government has expressed disappointment over the strike decision, calling for continued dialogue. Health officials have urged the public to use emergency services wisely during the strike period.
