British Medical Association planning 72-hour walkout as early as mid-March in fight for 26% pay rise.
Junior doctors in England have voted in favour of taking strike action in their fight to get a pay rise of 26%.
But experts said if a different measure of inflation is used the fall in pay for junior doctor roles is lower. Meanwhile, Unison, the biggest union in the ambulance service, is expected to announce more strike dates now that its mandate has increased from five of England's 10 ambulance service to nine.The last time junior doctors, which covers everyone who has just graduated from medical school through to those with many years' experience on the front line, went on strike was in 2016 over a new contract that was introduced.
The Department of Health and Social Care said alongside an 8.2% pay rise over four years the current deal also introduced higher bands of pay for the most experienced staff and increased rates for night shifts.
