English senior doctors have once again begun a two-day strike amid ongoing payment disputes between medics and the country's government.
largely came to a standstill on Thursday as senior doctors launch another 48-hour strike amid an ongoing pay dispute between medics and the British government.
Thursday's action is the latest in a series of strikes staged by doctors, nurses and other clinical staff in recent months and part of a wave of disruptive industrial action by public sector workers to demand better pay amid the U.K.'s cost-of-living crisis.
Medical consultant members of the British Medical Association stand on the picket line outside University College London Hospital amid their dispute with the government over pay, in London, England, on Aug. 24, 2023. "We would much rather be inside the hospital seeing our patients. But we cannot sit by and watch passively as we are persistently devalued, undermined and forced to watch colleagues leave – much to the detriment of the NHS and patients," said Dr. Vishal Sharma, a union leader.The British Medical Association said members planned to strike again on Sept. 19-20 and Oct. 2-4 if the government refused to re-enter negotiations.
