NHS junior doctors take part in a march and rally in the centre of Birmingham, on the final day of the British Medical Association's 96-hour walkout in a dispute over pay, April 14, 2023
JUNIOR doctors across England will take part in the longest strike in NHS history from today as they launch their 144-hour action.
The action begins at 7am and ends at the same time on Tuesday January 9, and comes at one of the busiest times for the health service as it faces increased pressure from winter viruses.
The Department of Health and Social Care urged the British Medical Association (BMA) yesterday to “call off their strikes and come back to the negotiating table.”
