Junior doctors in Britain began a four-day strike over pay on Tuesday that is likely to cause unprecedented disruption to the state-funded National Health Service (NHS), prompting the government to warn of a risk to patient safety.
Tens of thousands of junior doctors—qualified physicians who make up nearly half of the medical workforce—are striking for pay rises better aligned with inflation, in a walkout that follows a three-day doctors' strike last month.
The chief of the NHS Confederation, which represents organizations across the healthcare sector, told Sky News he expected up to 350,000 appointments to be canceled during the four-day strike. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made cutting hospital waiting times one of his major priorities amid eroding public satisfaction with an institution that has long been a source of national pride.
