Resident doctors in Scotland to go on strike for first time

Scotland's resident doctors are set to strike over a pay dispute, marking the first national walkout by NHS workers. The union BMA Scotland accuses the government of failing to restore pay to 2008 levels, leading to a 92% vote in favor of the strike scheduled from 13th to 17th January 2026. With concerns about the impact on patient care and the NHS, negotiations are urged to resolve the issue and prevent further disruptions in healthcare services in Scotland.
