The UK government recently stated its intention to impose a new junior doctor contract in England. Related negotiations between the British Medical Association and government representatives started in 2013. These have to-date failed to reassure doctors, who are concerned about risks to their welfare, patient safety, and the future of England's National Health Service. With the impending imposition of the new contract, and lack of progress, junior doctors felt the risks of striking had fallen below those of inaction. Hence, the first strike staged by the English medical workforce for 40 years occurred in January 2016.
英国政府最近表示打算在英格兰推行一项新的初级医生合同。英国医学协会与政府代表之间的相关谈判于2013年启动。到目前为止，这些谈判未能让医生们安心，他们担心自身福利、患者安全以及英格兰国民医疗服务体系的未来会面临风险。随着新合同即将实施且谈判缺乏进展，初级医生们觉得罢工的风险已经低于不作为的风险。因此，2016年1月，英国医疗工作者举行了40年来的首次罢工。
