Junior doctors' contracts: Crunch talks extended

[Northerner]

Last ditch talks to reach a deal on the junior doctors contract in England are being extended into next week.

The government and the doctors' union have agreed to continue negotiating until Wednesday.

The talks, hosted by conciliation service Acas, which started on Monday are seen as the last chance for the two sides to agree a deal.

They were set up following a series of strikes and included the first-ever full walk-out by doctors.

It comes after the government announced in February it would be imposing the contract from this summer after previous talks failed.

I was sprised to see this on breaking news. I thought they were going to announce further walk outs.

I really hope it gets resolved at this round of talks. To be a little more direct I hope it gets resolved and as a result they promote Mr Namespeltincorrectly to a job in which he is suitably qualified. Minister For Coat Hangers would suit him down to the ground

No, Minister for Sewers, requiring a daily personal inspection of the entire network of England. When he's finished he can work his way back... 😱 In shorts and t-shirt. On his knees, no peg.

You wanna pack this diabetic forum thing in and get yourself a job in HR. You have a natural flair for it 🙂

I was amused by Northerner's careers advice - but absolutely guffawed at yours!!
