Strike action: Friday 25 July - Wednesday 30 July

Resident doctors, previously named junior doctors, who are members of the British Medical Association (BMA) will participate in industrial action between Friday 25 July and Wednesday 30 July.

We have planned for this period to ensure we can safely maintain as many services as possible, however the strike action is expected to impact the services we are able to provide during this time.

Our urgent and emergency care service will remain open as normal.

We may need to rearrange some planned appointments, treatments and procedures and will contact you directly, at the earliest opportunity, if we need to rearrange your appointment.

If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.

We ask local people to use health services wisely and contact NHS 111 if you are unsure what to do. Please always phone 999 in an emergency.

This is a dispute between the BMA and the Government over pay, not between resident doctors and the Trust, and we hope that a resolution is reached soon.

We apologise for any disruption to your care that this industrial action may cause.
