Junior doctors set to strike

The Royal Oldham Hospital
Junior doctors at the Royal Oldham Hospital will strike on Tuesday 12 January after the breakdown of talks regarding “unsafe and unfair” contract changes.
Weeks of talks between the British Medical Association (BMA), NHS employers and the Government have failed to address the doctors’ concerns.
The BMA has warned that unless progress is made the 24-hour action will see junior doctors provide emergency care only and will be followed by further industrial action.
A 48-hour period of emergency care only is also set to take place on 26 January, with a third on 10 February, with full withdrawal of junior doctor labour from 8am-5pm.
The action is likely to lead to the cancellation of thousands of non-emergency operations and hospital appointments across the country.
