Workers from Britain's National Health Service (NHS) hold a picket line outside St Bartholomew's Hospital in London as both junior and senior doctors go on strike for the longest period yet. Junior doctors and first time consultants in England launched their first ever joint strike day on September 20. Now, joint action in their pay dispute with the government will last for three days from 0600 GMT on Monday 2 October to 0600 GMT on Thursday 5 October. Service will be maintained at lower levels usually only seen on Christmas Day. IMAGES
UK ambulance workers take to the picket line outside the London Ambulance Service headquarters, as they escalate a pay dispute with the government after walkouts by nurses and other public sector staff earlier in the week. The latest industrial action is being undertaken by paramedics and emergency call handlers, and comes amid similar pay and conditions-driven strikes by rail staff, passport control officers, postal workers and other NHS staff.

British junior hospital doctors resume strike action which will last for five days, just one week before the country's general election in which the state of the publicly funded National Health Service is a major issue. The doctors have been asking for 35 percent "pay restoration" as a starting position amid a cost-of-living crisis. Labour's health spokesman Wes Streeting has said any Labour government would not meet the 35 percent demand but that there is "space for a discussion". IMAGES
