Correction: This episode includes an interview with the chair of the BMA Tom Dolphin about the new round of resident doctor strikes in the run up to Christmas. Dr Dolphin said that 鈥渢alking about Christmas is a cynical ploy by the employer side鈥.

Nick asks Dr Dolphin about criticism of the timing of the strikes and suggests he used the word 鈥渟entimental鈥 about the desire to spend Christmas with loved ones. This is not right. Dr Dolphin had in fact told our producer before coming on air that NHS Providers鈥 argument about patients 鈥渟pending Christmas with their loved ones鈥 was an emotional argument - a word he uses in the interview - rather than a clinical one. We apologise to Dr Dolphin for misquoting him.
