More negotiations are expected to take place next week, Dr Vivek Trivedi and Dr Robert Laurenson, co-chairmen of the British Medical Association’s (BMA) Junior Doctors’ Committee, have said.

They said that there are no plans for more strike action “at the moment” as talks progress.

It comes as Health Secretary Wes Streeting said that the talks mark an “important reset moment” in relations between the Government and junior doctors in England.

Mr Streeting said he was “optimistic” about the talks.
