Junior medics in England are striking from Tuesday but the British Medical Association has said the government could still make a 'credible offer' to end the dispute. Health leaders fear the strikes could put patient safety at risk.
She added:"What we're hearing from our members who are health leaders across the whole system is that they are more concerned about this than they have been about any other strike."They think that the impact is going to be so significant that this one is likely to have an impact on patient safety and that is a huge concern for every healthcare leader."
The Department of Health and Social Care, headed by Steve Barclay, has insisted the BMA has to call off strike action before any negotiations can take place. He added:"We're happy to meet at any time. We would still meet him over the bank holiday weekend before the industrial action next week.
