Industrial action by senior doctors to begin on 25 November with only emergency cover provided, BMA says
England’s most senior hospital doctors will strike next month in a dispute over their pay and hours, prompting NHS bosses to warn that patients will suffer “pain, discomfort and inconvenience”.
Consultant doctors, who earn an average of £152,000 a year inclusive of overtime and merit awards, will stage a two-day walkout on 25 and 26 November, as hospitals gear up for the extra pressures winter brings.
