Future doctors are likely to be the most affected, but it seems likely that you would be viewed as condemning the industrial action by specifically working that day, and that day only.

(I am a final-year pharmacy student due to go into hospital pharmacy, and watching the NHS pay and pension plans with interest.)

Also can you imagine the stink eyes we would get from the hospital doctors if, when they are trying to ‘disrupt’ the NHS, we swoop in to save the day!!
