There is a twin junior doctor and consultant strike next week
Patients in Greater Manchester are being warned this week's NHS strikes are “likely to cause disruption to patient care unlike anything we’ve seen before”.
Consultants in England will walk out for 48 hours from Tuesday, and will be joined by their junior colleagues on Wednesday. Junior doctors will then continue their strike on Thursday and Friday. Staff are expected to work on a “Christmas Day cover” basis for both spells of industrial action, meaning emergency care will continue to be provided. However, patients are being warned to expect the worst.
Ms Cordery added: “We need this dispute to be resolved, and fast, but there is a deep and growing frustration among trust leaders at the sheer lack of inaction to even start to break this deadlock. We cannot allow strikes to become business as usual for the NHS.
