A total of 40,000 operations have now been postponed as a result of the junior doctors\u2019 row. <\/span><\/p>\n

Junior doctors are in dispute with the Government over the conditions of a new contract, which is due to be implemented in the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Talks broke down between the British Medical Association (BMA) and the Government in January, and a number of strikes have taken place since.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most recently, a two-day \u2018all-out\u2019 strike occurred, where junior doctors in England walked out of routine and emergency care. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the first time junior doctors have abandoned emergency care for strike action, but NHS bosses said there had been no major problems and that hospitals had coped \u201cadmirably\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

One knock-on effect of the latest strike was the cancellation of more than 100,000 routine appointments and almost 13,000 operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the strikes began at the beginning of the year, nearly 40,000 surgical procedures have been delayed \u2013 including surgery to treat cancer sufferers. <\/span><\/p>\n

This has upset many patients, such as 21 year old Hannah Ginsing, whose brain tumour operation was postponed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BMA has said it will not stop fighting and is currently considering their next move. Suggestions include a serious of rolling strikes, not doing vital paperwork and mass resignations.<\/span><\/p>\n
