Junior doctors at Queen's Medical Centre to go on strike tomorrow

Junior doctors at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham will go on strike tomorrow (June 27).

They will join thousands of other British Medical Association (BMA) members to walk out of work and picket.

NHS bosses have warned the strikes could cause major disruption as they coincide with the hottest week of the year, so far.

NHS England has said services will be under significant pressure and has urged the public to use them responsibly.

The BMA has confirmed junior doctors will strike for seven days from Thursday, June 27 until Thursday, July 2.

Junior doctors are qualified doctors who are still involved in clinical training, according to the BMA. Patients may be treated by a junior doctor in a hospital or GP setting.

According to the I, the current base starting salary for a junior doctor is about £26,000, although this does not take into account weekend or out-of-hours work payments.
