Britain: The first all-out doctors' strike in the history of the NHS is likely to take place after the government and union refused to back down in a contract row.
On Tuesday 1st December 2015, an emergency care-only strike has been planned to take place, followed by full walkouts on 8th and 16th December.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have requested doctors to “step back from the brink and re-enter negotiations in good faith.” While the chairman of the BMA council, Mark Porter stated, “It is the government's adamant insistence on imposing a contract that is unsafe for patients in the future, and unfair for doctors now and in the future, that has brought us to this point.”
