Junior doctors in Lancashire are going on strike for a second time this year.

They're walking out of hospitals from 8am for 24 hours and will only be providing emergency care.

It's due to the British Medical Association's long-running dispute with the government over pay and contracts.

Thousands of operations have been cancelled due to the strike.

Junior doctors walked out of hospitals across Lancashire for 24 hours on 12th January - that day was the first time they'd taken industrial action in over 40 years.
