Some 86% of British Medical Association members backed walkouts over what the union described as repeated pay cuts.
The union had already announced that a 48-hour walkout on 20 and 21 July would take place if doctors backed action.
It will follow a five-day strike by junior doctors - the combination is likely to lead to huge disruption to services, and cancelled treatments. BBC News
