Redditch patients likely to be affected as junior docs renew industrial action

Redditch Editorial 1st Feb, 2016 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

LOCAL patients are sure to be affected after talks to agree a new junior doctor contract foundered today (Monday, February 1).

In response, the British Medical Association confirmed that industrial action scheduled for next Wednesday, February 10, will go ahead.

Rather than a full walkout, this industrial action will take the form of 24-hour emergency care only, beginning at 8am and ending at 8am on Thursday, February 11.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust will be taking steps to minimise the impact on patients.
