NHS strike days plan puts patients at risk, says BMA

The British Medical Association (BMA) has expressed concern over the NHS's plan to keep non-urgent services running during the upcoming strike days. The union is unhappy with this decision, arguing that it puts patients at risk. The article states that the NHS intends to maintain some non-urgent services during the strike, rather than fully suspending operations. The BMA, which represents doctors and medical professionals, believes this approach could jeopardize patient care and safety.

The BMA has criticized the NHS's plan, suggesting that it may not be possible to provide adequate care and support for patients during the walkout. The article highlights the tensions between the NHS administration and the union representing healthcare workers, as they navigate the complex issue of balancing patient needs with the legitimate concerns of medical professionals during a time of industrial action.
