Junior doctors have been granted permission to work at some hospitals during a looming strike in order to prevent potentially dangerous delays to cancer care, the British Medical Association has said.
The six hospitals where some junior doctors will be allowed to work during the industrial action are all part of the NHS trusts Lewisham and Greenwich, Guy’s and St Thomas’, and King’s College hospital, which are experiencing delays due to a Russian cyber-attack that has resulted in cancer surgeries having to be postponed.
