The health service in England is facing its second day of strikes by junior doctors on Thursday as an Indian-origin medic, also a senior office bearer of their union, urging the government to make a “credible” pay offer so the six-day industrial action can be called off.
With over 1.2 million appointments already rescheduled since industrial action began, Dr Vivek Trivedi, co-chair of the British Medical Association (BMA) Junior Doctors Committee, told the BBC that they are willing to negotiate to end the longest strike in the history of the National Health Service (NHS).
“We strike again today. Tag @BMA_JuniorDocs in all your posts and we’ll keep sharing!,” the official X handle of the British Medical Association (BMA) Junior Doctors posted early Thursday morning along with the hashtag #PayRestoration.
