BMA Resident Doctors’ Industrial action, 14-19 November

In response to planned industrial action by the British Medical Association (BMA), taking place from Friday 14 November (7am) to Wednesday 19 November (7am), we are making plans to minimise disruption as much as possible and to preserve patient care.

Throughout this time, all other NHS staff (including consultants and other specialist doctors) will still be working, and the focus of the NHS will be on ensuring as many services as possible continue to operate.
