Resident doctors in England are set to stage a four-day strike in June, according to their union, saying newly appointed health minister James Murray has not improved a pay offer they had previously rejected.
The walkout is due to run from June 15 to June 19, the British Medical Association said, warning further strike dates could follow in July if there was no progress in talks.
Resident doctors - formerly known as junior doctors - have carried out repeated strikes since early 2023 in a campaign focused on reversing historical pay erosion and relieving staffing pressures across the National Health Service.
