Show Notes
Senior doctors in the UK are escalating their pay dispute with the government, voting to strike after receiving a modest pay increase. Resident doctors face a tough decision, as talks continue amid threats of a strike over Easter. The Prime Minister has set a deadline for the doctors committee to reconsider a deal offering new training posts. Reactions are mixed, with some calling it a clear deal on jobs and pay, while others criticize using training spots as leverage. Ballots for consultants and specialist associate doctors begin in May, further escalating the dispute. NHS bosses warn of major strain, especially during holidays. A last-minute deal could still save the posts and keep wards running.
