A pproximately 60,000 appointments across London will be impacted by a five-day doctors' strike starting on Friday, the medical director for NHS London has said. The British Medical Association (BMA) strike follows a pay dispute with the government over resident doctors - the new name for junior doctors.

A top NHS medic has issued a stark warning to striking doctors that tomorrow’s five-day walkout will harm patients.

NHS patients in the East of England are being urged to continue coming forward for care during upcoming resident doctors’ strikes
