Junior doctors in England should call off their upcoming strike if major political parties pledge to reopen talks as a priority after the General Election, health leaders have said.
The NHS Confederation called on politicians and the British Medical Association (BMA) to come to a compromise in a bid to avert the disruptive walkout.
It said the main parties should promise to reopen negotiations with junior doctors within 10 days of forming a new government.
Junior doctors, let's makeWe strike again with a 5 day full walkout from 7am on 27 June to 7am on 2 July. Let's make this round of action our biggest and loudest yet!
