NHS appointments warning as latest resident doctor’s strike begins | UK | News

NHS issued a warning to patients because the doctor’s strike action started today (25 July). Industrial unrest, which includes up to 50,000 doctors in the UK, will last five days, on Wednesday, July 30 at 7 am.

It points to the 12th strike by continuing to pay the payments of medical personnel. In spite of a salary increase of 5.4% in 2024, after a 22% increase in the previous two years, the British Association (BMA) argued that the salaries remained 20% lower than the 2008 levels.

In the midst of the strikes, NHS guided the potential appointment cuts. “From 7 am on Friday, July 25, some NHS services will be affected by the strike action on Friday, July 25,” Instagram will be affected. “

“If your appointment needs to be changed, you will contact you. Please continue to stand out for the care you need.” Meanwhile, the sense of the people towards the strike is polarized.

One person wrote the perceived “greed” of the NHS workers in Instagram and wrote in response: “I feel very angry and sad for all patients who cancel their appointments and procedures due to greed for greed for a profession and devotion.”

Another idea, “Absolutely disgusting. They got a rise last year, now they want other, greedy people not want to work. People are dying, waiting lists are extremely high, they return to work.”

Although some of the UK residents are against the strike, as an Instagram user mainly states, others are clearly supportive: “This is that medical staff pays restoration in accordance with the need to pay the inflationary wage increase.

“Don’t blame them for going on a strike. Do you have any idea about how many hours a doctor has worked a week? Go and educate yourself before criticizing.”

Although he has a second agreement: “In a very stressful job, would you go to work for less than you deserve? Don’t you, so let your mouth rest.”

At the beginning of this week, the health secretary Wes Streeting accused them of “recklessly and unnecessarily choosing strike action” and “a complete disdain for patients”, where they chose to strike their resident doctors.

At the Scathing address, he described the strike as “completely unfair, not completely unseen in the history of British trade unionism”.

However, after the BMA refused to reopen the debate on payment for this year, the government did not recognize the magnitude of the difficulties faced by medical experts. The union hit: “We want to continue talking – but we do not accept that we cannot talk about payment.”
