Industrial action
The BMA union has announced that resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) will strike from 7am on Tuesday, 7 April to 7am on Monday, 13 April.
During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and they will need to prioritise life-saving care. Less urgent cases may experience longer waits during strikes.
While we will do our best to only cancel appointments where it is necessary, we know from previous strikes that there may be disruption. If the NHS has not contacted you, please attend your appointment as planned.
Regardless of any strike action taking place, it is really important that patients who need urgent medical care continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and serious life-threatening cases - when someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.
If you need medical help, please continue to use 111 and in emergencies please call 999.
