Greater Manchester is bracing itself for what the country's top doctor has warned will be the 'biggest strike disruption to date' as junior doctors stage major industrial action. Picket lines are in force at all the major hospitals across the region, starting this morning and scheduled to last 72 hours.
Some 64,000 junior doctors will be going on strike, making up half of the medical workforce. The term 'junior doctors' covers everyone who has just graduated from medical school to those with many years' experience on the front line, as well as GP trainees.'Many appointments and procedures postponed' as every hospital in Greater Manchester to be hit by doctors strikes
In NHS strikes earlier this year including those by the Royal College of Nursing, national derogations have been agreed ahead of the strike, meaning certain services such as intensive care or cancer clinics have been exempt from industrial action and remained working. However, this time, there are no such derogations.
