Dr Katie Beckhurst was at the Southampton rally on the day of the first doctors' all-out strike with baby Edward. Dr Beckurst is a junior doctor currently on maternity leave and working in psychiatry. She said: "I believe that the new contract wouldn't be safe for my patients, and I also believe that it is prejudiced against female doctors." She thought Edward was also very upset about the possible future of the NHS under Jeremy Hunt!
