Co-Chair of BMA Dr Melissa Ryan has said resident doctors need the Health Secretary and the government to ''negotiate properly and give an offer''. It comes as thousands of resident doctors are set to walk out from 7am on Friday for five days. The public have been urged to keep coming forward for NHS care during the walkout. GP surgeries will open as usual and urgent care and A&E will continue to be available, alongside 111, NHS England said. Report by Gluszczykm.
