Strike action during August 2023
Junior Doctors in England are taking strike action from 7am Friday 11 August, until 7am Tuesday 15 August.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has also announced that consultants will be taking strike action for 48 hours from 7am on Thursday 24 August, until 7am on Saturday 26 August.
The industrial action is a national dispute between the Government and Trades Unions about terms and conditions for doctors working in the NHS.
Junior Doctors and Consultants at Berkshire Healthcare will be participating in the strikes on their scheduled days.
