GP Industrial Action

We have been following the outcome of the British Medical Association (BMA) vote in favour of industrial action by GPs. Although we agree with the issue they are campaigning for, at this stage we do not feel that taking industrial action is the correct course of action. The Vale Medical Centre will continue with business as usual.
