“We are fed up of giving sub-standard and delayed care”
Thousands of doctors have gathered in Manchester outside the Tory Party conference to demand the government listen to their pay demands.
Around 2,000 doctors are expected to be at the national rally this Tuesday organised by the BMA union, with doctors travelling from across the country to join, including junior doctors, consultants and radiographers who are all on strike today.
