UK resident doctors to strike Dec. 17–22 over pay and jobs, risking patient safety amid flu surge.
Resident doctors in England will strike from December 17 to 22 over unresolved pay and job security disputes, the BMA announced, with the walkout coinciding with a flu surge and peak NHS demand.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting called the strikes “cynical,” claiming the BMA rejected a government offer of a 28.9% pay rise and new training posts without consulting members.
The BMA argues the government has failed to address a worsening training crisis, citing unrealistic job requirements and real-terms pay cuts.
Previous strikes in July and November caused major disruptions and cost the NHS an estimated £300 million.
NHS leaders warned the latest action risks patient safety and urged renewed negotiations.
