Anonymous trainee doctors are reportedly organising on Reddit to seek election to senior positions in the BMA in order to steer the organisation to major strike actions. Junior doctors are angry over their pay and conditions as well as the amount of student debt they face after completing six years at medical school. Under the plan, pro-strike candidates will be nominated to stand for election with a concerted effort to gain support for radical action. Junior doctors complain that their pay has fallen by 30 per cent during the past decade's austerity measures. The BMA plans to ballot its members on industrial action after it rejected Mr Javid's plans for general practice.
