Junior doctor: Specifics of contract need negotiation

Junior doctors and medical students in England have voted to reject the contract that has been offered to them by the government.

British Medical Association members voted 58% to 42% against accepting the deal.

BMA leaders had urged members to accept the terms, which were announced in May after talks with the government resumed following six strikes.

Alex Armitage is a junior doctor who works in an A&E unit in South London, he told Martha Kearney why he voted to reject the contract.
