Resident doctors in England have begun a five-day strike after negotiations over pay and working conditions worsened. The British Medical Association (BMA) is organizing the strike, which started at 07:00 GMT on Wednesday. This marks the 14th time the union has walked out during this ongoing standoff.
The National Health Service (NHS) warns that patients must be ready for delays and disruptions to care at a time when hospitals are crowded amidst a surge in flu cases. According to Sky News, the strike will last until 07:00 GMT on Monday, December 22.
Reuters described this as an “increasingly bitter dispute” between the doctors and the government, and it seems that no resolution is in sight.
The BBC reported that BMA members began their walkout at 07:00 GMT on Wednesday, and patients are being warned to anticipate issues with services while the strike continues.
