Radiographers will walk out at seven NHS Trusts in London this morning in a dispute over pay.
John Kelly told BBC News he was striking over morale and job pressures, as well as pay.
"There's a huge amount of pressure. Obviously nine out of 10 patients that come through the NHS through our doors are going to be seeing a radiographer at some point during their journey. Dean Rogers, from the Society of Radiographers, said: "Voting for strike action was a difficult decision for our members, who care above all about the safety and wellbeing of their patients.
"If the government wants to reduce NHS waiting lists and ensure that patients receive the treatment they need, when they need it, then it must urgently prioritise the recruitment and retention of radiography professionals - and that means talking to us about pay and conditions."
