UK doctors have periodically gone on strike over pay, working conditions, and staffing levels, with resident doctors conducting major industrial action in 2026. The strikes have disrupted NHS services and cost billions, prompting debate over whether strike action should be legally prohibited for healthcare workers. This tension between workers' right to protest and public safety concerns has become a central political issue, with some politicians calling for outright bans while others argue strikes are necessary leverage for improving conditions.
