The British Medical Association is asking for a “full pay restoration” back to 2008/9 levels
A junior doctor on the picket line explained the “sadness” of seeing patients come to potential harm due to staff shortages during a second day of strike action.Members of the British Medical Association and Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association are taking part in the strikes with picket lines at the Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital in Nottingham.
“When the message we’re receiving from the Government is that they think our pay demands are outrageous, you have to remind them you’re doing something pretty important. “The more people there are, the easier it is for things to get missed and for bad things to happen and I see that increasingly.“But there is a particular sadness to seeing harm or danger to people that could’ve been avoided if there were more staff, more resources and if people were less exhausted.”He added: “We see more and more doctors signing up to go to Australia and New Zealand. I’m considering it because things aren’t getting any better.
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the QMC and City Hospital, said in a statement on the website that patient safety is the trust’s “key focus”. Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: “It is extremely disappointing the BMA has called strike action for four consecutive days.
