It left one feeling somewhat flat.<\/p>\n<p>The first day of industrial action will be on the 12 January when only emergency care will be provided for 24 hours. This will be followed by 48 hours of industrial action on 26 January. Finally on the 10 February there will be a full withdrawal of labour between 8am\u20145pm. The mandate to strike given by 98% of BMA voters runs out next week, so this seems a last minute attempt to gain some ground.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The letter from Johann Malawana, chair of the BMA\u2019s Junior Doctors Committee, to Danny Mortimer, NHS Employers Chief Executive, was articulate and cutting. It suggested that the government\u2019s \u201cSummary Offer to the BMA\u201d reviewing what had been established in good faith during negotiations was misleading and different to the positions agreed during face to face discussions. Malawana expressed his \u201dsurprise\u201d and \u201ddisappointment\u201d at the tone and selective commentary of what the BMA thought had been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Hunt immediately wrote to the BMA expressing \u201csincere\u201d disappointment and emphasising how \u201dextraordinary\u201d he found it that the BMA had not fully considered the proposals put forward. The small final point of &#8220;pay over the weekend,\u201d which clearly is not something the government think is important to junior doctors and their families, was the only factor that remained undecided in Hunt\u2019s view. And as such the government seems to be implying that the BMA are being unreasonable.<\/p>\n<p>Yet again we are left with much to be explained. And a sense that behind closed doors there are some serious errors in communication and interpretation going on\u2014if all is to be believed. Or the government are trying to pull a fast one (surely not?)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The forum explodes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The junior doctor\u2019s forum on social media re-ignited, having been dormant over the Christmas period. There seems to be a mixed response. After <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/352\/bmj.h7022\">the inspiration and joy of an NHS Christmas number one<\/a>, where one felt that people cared and the country were behind the NHS, there\u2019s a definite thud as we drop to earth. There is concern about the lack of notice given. Certainly, it will cause maximum disruption as hospitals struggle on with winter measures and now there will be a sudden strike. But will this mean that there is less support from the public and consultants? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/344\/bmj.e3457\">Will this result in a half-hearted strike like in 2012<\/a>? It\u2019s hard to know.<\/p>\n<p>As the wheels of social media gear themselves up again in an attempt to whip up support and get a \u201cmessage\u201d out there, quite what the message is nobody knows. Junior doctors are left feeling confused and underwhelmed but still wanting to &#8220;win.\u201d The mix of frustration, mistrust of government, and fear over the future of the NHS means that there is still a lot of resting tension. As it stands, junior doctors don\u2019t seem to have another choice. And so they\u2019ll walk dazed, but one feels bravely, into a strike.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Jessamy<\/strong> <strong>Bagenal\u00a0<\/strong>is a general surgical registrar in North West Thames and currently undertaking a National Medical Director&#8217;s Clinical Fellow scheme.
