Junior doctors in UK agree to pay talks with Govt after 3-day strike

Meanwhile, the BMA said on Twitter that they were "fully prepared to call for strike action" in the event that any offer from the government is "substandard" or "where the talks lack sincerity or progress."

The union seeks to bring the salaries back to the equivalent earned in 2008, which translates into a 35% pay rise, the broadcaster said. The move would cost the UK government 1 billion pounds ($1.2 billion) on top of the 4 billion pounds that are needed to raise pay for other NHS workers.

The United Kingdom has seen a series of strikes by civil servants over the past months, with workers expressing dissatisfaction with the worsening economic situation caused by rising energy prices and soaring inflation in the country.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Kerala Chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) held their dawn-to-dusk statewide strike as announced many days ago to protest against the increasing number of attacks on doctors and demand for immediate arrest of the accused in connection with an attack on a Kozhikode-based senior cardiologist at Fathima Hospital.
