Resident doctors in England are set to walk out for four days next month in what will be the 16th strike in a pay and jobs dispute that has now stretched over three years. The British Medical Association announced the action will run from 7am on Monday June 15 to 6.59am on Friday June 19. The union also warned that a further stoppage in July is possible unless progress is made before then.
According to a report by The Guardian, the 96-hour strike will force NHS hospitals to rearrange tens of thousands of appointments, diagnostic tests and operations across England.
