Junior doctors in England initiate mediated talks with the government over pay dispute.

Junior doctors in England have entered "mediated talks" with the Government to address the long-running dispute over pay, as the British Medical Association (BMA) stated that its junior doctors' committee entered a new "intensive phase of talks" with the government, which is being facilitated by an external mediator. Junior doctors have staged a series of walkouts over the past year as part of the BMA's campaign for pay restoration.
