The National Health Service (NHS) in parts of England is bracing for potential delays in x-rays, scans, and cancer treatment as radiographers plan a 48-hour walkout in a dispute over pay. The Society of Radiographers (SoR) trade union confirmed the strike action, highlighting concerns over staff shortages and inadequate recruitment.

Members of the union at 43 NHS trusts have voted in favour of the walkout, scheduled to take place from 8 am on 25 July to 8 am on 27 July. While the industrial action occurs, bank holiday levels of “life and limb” emergency cover will be provided to ensure patient safety.
