Junior doctors in England are to stage a five-day strike next month.
Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) will walk out from July 13 to 18 in what the association said is thought to be the longest single period of industrial action ever. The announcement comes after a BMA survey showed that junior doctors currently have more opportunities to move abroad to work than ever before.
It's reported that more than half of the nearly 2,000 junior doctors surveyed said they have received more job advertisements from recruiters to overseas jobs since strikes were announced. The government of South Australia even paid for trucks to be sent to junior doctor picket lines carrying job adverts offering improved pay if those doctors emigrated, it was revealed.
