The JuniorDoctorsStrike start tomorrow.

“We will only cancel appointments and procedures where it is necessary and will reschedule immediately, where possible.”

The trust said if patients have not been contacted then they should attend their appointment as planned. People are still urged to seek urgent medical care in emergency and life-threatening cases as “patients needing urgent treatment will be prioritised”.The British Medical Association has claimed pay has been cut by more than 26% since 2008 with newly qualified doctors being paid as little as £14.09 an hour.

It has asked for a 35% pay rise to bring junior doctor pay back to 2008 levels and help resolve the recruitment and retention crisis. Health Secretary Steve Barclay has blasted this demand as “unrealistic” and said their strikes had been planned to “cause maximum disruption”.
