TV doctor and IVF pioneer Robert Winston quits BMA over strikes

Renowned TV doctor and IVF pioneer, Lord Robert Winston, resigns from the British Medical Association (BMA) due to disagreement over resident doctors' planned strikes. The BMA met with the health secretary and emphasized no negotiation on pay issues, leading to a planned 5-day walkout by resident doctors over a pay dispute starting 25 July. Lord Winston urges against strike action, warning it may damage public trust in the medical profession and suggests considering patients' vulnerability during these challenging times.
