Dates for three day junior doctors strike announced

Junior doctors will strike on March 13, 14 and 15, the British Medical Association (BMA) has announced.

Junior doctors in England have voted to strike over pay and conditions. They are asking for a pay increase to make up for 15 years of inflation. Nearly 37,000 voted to strike in the recent ballot, coming after historic industrial action from nurses and ambulance workers.

The term "junior doctors" covers everyone who has just graduated from medical school through to those with many years' experience on the front line, reports the BBC. Overall, they account for more than 40 per cent of the medical workforce.
