Poll: should junior doctors stage all-out strike?
Junior doctors are about to stage the first ever all-out strike in the history of the NHS, meaning they will walk out of accident and emergency units for the first time.
It's part of a dispute over the imposition of a new contract, which the British Medical Association says would jeopardise patient safety.
