Doctors to stage five-day strike before Christmas
The British Medical Association has announced a fresh round of strikes in England in the long-running pay dispute.
Resident doctors, the new name for junior doctors, will stage a five-day walkout from 17 December.
This will be the 14th strike by the doctors' union since March 2023 and is expected to cause significant disruption, particularly in hospitals.
