The health service has been under tremendous pressure over the past two years due to the Covid pandemic, and according to the British Medical Association's (BMA) new leader, a strike is very likely.
In his first interview since taking over as the BMA's chair of council, Prof Philip Banfield has warned that a doctors strike for better pay is "almost inevitable."
Members of the doctors' union voted recently to seek a 30% increase in their pay over the next five years, amounting to a "full pay restoration " for the cuts they've suffered to their income since 2008.
