Updated: Wednesday 1 April 2026

There will be picket lines at worksites across England on 7 - 13 April 2026. 

Here you can find when and where the key regional BMA picket lines are happening during the strike action.

We are encouraging members to prioritise attending regional pickets at large hospital sites the morning of 7 April. 

We will be updating this map of our resident doctor picket lines across England. Make sure to check it again nearer the strikes for any further updates.
