Planned strike action by junior doctors has been described as “scary” by Liverpool’s chief medical officer.
Last month, the British Medical Association (BMA) announced a three-day walk out by junior doctors across England, claiming they had been left with no choice. Medical professionals will leave their posts at hospitals, including many across Liverpool, for 72 hours between March 13 and 15.
Jim Gardner, medical director at Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust, told a meeting of its board how preparations were going ahead of the industrial action. He said: “I think it’s scary, but we are as well prepared as we can be.”
