Location
Junior doctors across England are set to embark on a five-day strike starting on Thursday, marking the longest walkout in the history of the National Health Service (NHS). The strike is a result of an ongoing dispute over pay between the British Medical Association (BMA) and the government.

Picket lines will be formed by BMA members from 7am while members of Unite at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London will also join the strike on Thursday over pay-related issues. The strike action follows a series of previous strikes that have resulted in numerous cancelled operations and consultations, causing significant disruption to patient care.
