GMC says patients will suffer if junior doctors' strikes go ahead The body that regulates the medical profession has warned that patients will suffer if junior doctors in England go ahead with a series of five one-day strikes next week.
The General Medical Council said the scale of the action, planned at such short notice, could not be justified.
The first of four five-day walkouts is due to begin from 12 to 16 September, with the last being in mid-December.
Junior doctors are striking over a new contract which is being imposed.
