The BMA's Welsh Council chairwoman says it is 'gut-wrenching' for doctors to consider strike action.
The announcement comes after a week of walkouts by nurses and ambulance staff across the country calling for better wages and conditions.The BMA announced in October that a ballot for industrial action by junior doctors in England - who received a 2% pay increase this year - would open on 9 January.
A previous survey undertaken by the BMA in August found that 52% of members who responded were more likely to leave the Welsh NHS as a result of the below inflation pay rise. "No other healthcare system devalues their doctors like this, so there is little wonder that so many doctors leave the NHS to work elsewhere."
It comes as GMB members of the ambulance service in Wales took part in a strike on Wednesday in a dispute over pay.
