Striking NHS junior doctors on the picket line outside the University College Hospital in London in AprilThe NHS faces"enormous" disruption as junior doctors in England prepare to go out on strike for several days from Wednesday, the UK's top doctor has warned.
Professor Sir Stephen Powis, NHS England's national medical director, says almost all routine or pre-planned care could be impacted in some way.Senior doctors and nurses are due to be drafted in to cover the most necessary work usually undertaken by junior doctors, but that will lead to other work being postponed.
Professor Powis said thousands of routine procedures have already been rescheduled but he called on people to attend any appointments they have if they have not already been told they are postponed. In April, a similar walkout by junior doctors saw 196,000 hospital appointments and pre-planned operations rescheduled.
