BMA Defies Flu Outbreak, Votes on Strike Amid NHS Pressure
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
The British Medical Association is facing criticism for its stance on the current flu outbreak, with the government and officials accusing them of scaremongering. The BMA is set to vote on potential strikes in England next week, which could lead to a five-day strike starting Wednesday if their proposed deal is rejected. The governments offer includes prioritizing British medical graduates for specialty training jobs and covering training expenses, but not a pay raise. The flu season has arrived early and is severe, with two thousand six hundred sixty patients per day hospitalized in England last week. However, the NHS maintains that it can handle the situation, and speculation about the flu is not helpful.
