2026年6月，英國國家醫療保健服務（NHS）面臨一項嚴峻挑戰，住院醫師準備進行為期四天的罷工。
In June 2026, the NHS in England is facing a critical challenge as resident doctors prepare for a four-day strike.
此次罷工將於6月15日週一上午7時開始，持續至6月19日週五，這是該團體自2023年以來的第16次罷工。
Starting at 7:00 am on Monday, June 15, and continuing until Friday, June 19, this industrial action marks the 16th time this group has walked out since 2023.
由英國醫學會（BMA）組織的這次行動，旨在解決長期以來對於薪資、工作條件及專業人員留任的擔憂。
Organized by the British Medical Association, the strike aims to address long-standing concerns regarding pay, working conditions, and professional retention.
衛生官員警告，醫療體系將面臨「三重打擊」的壓力。
Health officials warn of a 'triple whammy' of pressure on the healthcare system.
除了罷工導致的人力短缺外，NHS還必須應對預測中的熱浪，以及與世界盃足球賽相關的急診活動增加，其中包括英格蘭對陣克羅埃西亞的首場比賽。
Alongside the staff shortage caused by the strike, the NHS must manage a forecasted heatwave and increased emergency activity linked to the football World Cup, including England's first match against Croatia.
政府官員批評此次罷工是不必要的，並敦促進行進一步談判。
Government officials have criticized the walkout as unnecessary, urging for further negotiations.
與此同時，NHS已啟動應變計畫，以優先處理緊急護理需求。
Meanwhile, the NHS has activated contingency plans to prioritize emergency and urgent care.
建議病患除非另行通知，否則應維持現有的預約，而需要非危及生命的緊急護理者，應使用NHS 111線上服務。
Patients are advised to keep existing appointments unless otherwise notified, while those needing non-life-threatening urgent care should use NHS 111 online.
