A TV doctor and IVF pioneer has resigned from the British Medical Association (BMA) over planned strike action by resident doctors.
Professor Robert Winston, a Labour peer who became a household name through his documentaries on child development, told The Times the “highly dangerous” walkout could harm people’s trust in the profession.
Prof Winston, 84, who The Times reported has been a member of the union since he qualified as a doctor more than 60 years ago, said he resigned from the BMA on Thursday.
