Resident doctors in England have started a five-day strike over pay and working conditions, adding pressure on the National Health Service during a busy winter period. The strike began on Wednesday morning and will continue until Monday, marking another escalation in the long-running dispute between doctors and the government.
The action follows the rejection of the government’s latest proposal by members of the British Medical Association. Doctors said the offer failed to address pay erosion and did not include a pay rise for the current year. A large majority of voting members opposed the deal, showing growing frustration among early-career doctors.
Health authorities have warned that the strike could lead to delays in routine appointments and planned treatments. However, emergency and critical care services will continue to operate, and patients have been advised to attend appointments unless contacted by hospitals. The NHS is already under strain due to rising flu cases and winter pressures.
The government has said it remains open to talks but insists that its offer was fair and within budget limits. Meanwhile, doctor representatives argue that without meaningful action on pay and working conditions, retaining staff in the NHS will remain a serious challenge.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.
Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
