Doctors have the right to strike
Police don’t
Both vital jobs
One gives a shite , the others prepared to see their potential patients suffer , literally |  |

So are they left wing or right wing for going on strike. Some on here seem intent on labelling people one or the other when they take action. |  | | |

No idea myself but some will die as a result of this action
Wouldn’t like that on my conscience | |

To me, the moral dimension bears examination because it is bound up with changes in medical culture. From what I remember about medical students and junior doctors from the late 1970s and 1980s, there was great reluctance to link industrial action to a straightforward wage demand, as opposed to unwelcome contractual changes that could be presented as a threat to patient safety. Junior doctors in some English regions had taken industrial action for a short period in 1975 over working hours and a proposed cut in on-call and over-time payment rates. This mostly took the form of refusing to work on elective cases after 5.00pm, and led to a revised contract with a basic 40 hour week. When the junior doctors took industrial action in 2016 it was again about opposition to a new contract that was perceived to change the rules about working outside core hours in a way that might affect patient safety. However, the juniors only walked out for 48 hours, during which time they nevertheless provided emergency cover.

The present cohort of resident doctors seem much more open to striking to achieve a better standard of living through better remuneration while still in the training grades. They appear willing to tolerate a certain amount of collateral damage to patient outcomes. | | | |

Has the present cohort of junior doctors attitude in being prepared to strike anything to do with immigration ? |  |

There is a question! Is the more diverse UK medical workforce of today more concerned with money as opposed to the Hippocratic oath compared with the cohort of the 1970s? I suppose that if we consider that around half of the doctors registered to practice in Nigeria are no longer in that country because they have opted to take up better-paid appointments overseas, that might suggest an answer. No doubt there are arguments the other way as well. [Post edited 14 Nov 18:55]

Indeed there is a question, I think lots of them are from India and Pakistan. | |

Why. |
I would guess that doctors and junior doctors from decades ago were a totally different demographic to what they are now. | |
