The British Medical Association threatened a three-day walkout by consultants later in the year as the latest walkout began, with tens of thousands of operations expected to be cancelled
Consultants will still provide “Christmas Day cover” during the strikes, which means emergency care will be provided.
The BMA has condemned the increase as “insulting”, claiming consultants have experienced a “35 per cent pay erosion” over the past 14 years. People should continue to use 999 for life-threatening emergencies and NHS 111 for other health concerns, officials said. GP and pharmacies are largely unaffected.
