Video consultation: Service line information

Junior Doctor Industrial Action update – 14 to 17 June

Planned industrial action has been announced by the British Medical Association (BMA) involving junior doctors.

The action will run for 72 hours starting from 7am on Wednesday 14 June, running to 7am Saturday 17 June. We are working hard to keep patients safe during strikes, while delivering the best care possible. Patients should continue to attend appointments as planned unless contacted to reschedule.

Industrial action is a national dispute between the Government and Trades Unions about terms and conditions. We have had to make changes to our services as a result – please visit our latest news for further information.
