Industrial action

There are planned strikes taking place in parts of the NHS. Regardless of any strike action, it is important that patients who need urgent medical care continue to attend as normal, especially in emergency and life-threatening cases – when someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.

GP services are not impacted by this strike action. Please continue to attend your GP appointments, unless you are contacted and told otherwise.

On days where there is strike action, patients should only call 999 if it is a medical or mental health emergency (when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk).
