Plenty of doctors in orange and film crews were drawing car, van and bus horns to hoot solidarity. This trainee surgeon explained the action. His thrust was that doctors are striking to fix the NHS for patients because the Labour government has headed off on a wrong trajectory.
The strike continues for five days. The secretary of state, Wes Streeting, has failed to meet the BMA. Instead he has gone public spitting propaganda rants. Somehow he thinks it makes sense to attack his own workers, oblivious to the fact that the public trust them far more than they do politicians like him. He seems rather rattled.
SHA members joined other BMA picket lines around the country. Here are images from Royal Infirmary Newcastle and Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle.
