The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced that resident doctors are planning to take continuous industrial action from 7am on Friday 25 July to 7am on Wednesday 30 July.
Patient safety is our absolute priority, and we are adjusting services and our staffing to maintain quality care.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Some appointments, procedures and operations may be postponed or rearranged and will be rescheduled as a priority, in order of highest clinical need.
- You will be contacted if your appointment changes; if not, please attend as usual. Please do not try to call the booking line, as we anticipate a high call volume.
- During this period, for non-urgent health needs, please consult your pharmacist, GP or NHS111.
- If your health need is serious or life-threatening, please continue to contact 999 or attend the Emergency Department (ED).
- Maternity services and critical services for our inpatients are still available during this period.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
