Strike action has been effective at bringing the Government to the negotiating table in the past, the British Medical Association (BMA) has said ahead of a four-day strike next month.

Dr Jack Fletcher, chairman of the BMA’s resident doctors’ committee, said doctors were being lost to other countries because they are not valued, as he urged the Government to settle the dispute.
