About half the country's junior doctors have walked off the job for 25 hours in a nation-wide protest for pay equity.

Nearly 2500 junior doctors took to the streets from 7am today outside eight of the country's main hospitals.

The doctors taking industrial action are members of the Resident Doctors' Association, which failed to reach a new pay agreement with Te Whatu Ora.

Negotiations between the association and Te Whatu Ora reached an "impasse" last month over what the union described as "unacceptable elements".
