The walkout was most disruptive NHS strike yet - with bosses warning future action will risk care.
More than 196,000 NHS appointments had to be cancelled because of the junior doctor strike in England last week, figures show.
"Each of the appointments postponed has an impact on the lives of individuals and their families and creates further pressure on services and on a tired workforce - and this is likely to be an underestimate of the impact as some areas provisionally avoided scheduling appointments for these strike days."We have now seen nearly half a million appointments rescheduled over the last five months, and with each strike, it becomes harder.
Unite, one of the smaller health unions which represents NHS staff such as support workers, admin staff and paramedics, also said members at London's Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital and Yorkshire Ambulance Service would walk out on 1 May.
