The British Medical Association has confirmed that a five-day resident doctors' strike will go ahead.

Medics will be striking due to a pay dispute with the government, with the organisation demanding a 29% pay rise - despite a 22% increase over the previous two years.

We speak to Professor Lord Robert Winston, who resigned from the BMA - an organisation he’s been a member of since 1964 - earlier this month, arguing that the strike action will damage the reputation of his profession.

Keeping up the medical theme, Camilla also speaks to the chief nurse of Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, with measles cases on the rise across the country amid an alarming decline in vaccination rates.
