The British Medical Association (BMA) has confirmed that resident doctors will take industrial action from 7am on 17 December to 7am on 22 December.
Following a new offer made by the Government, the BMA held a ballot seeking the views of resident doctors as to whether strike action should go ahead as planned.
While the majority of our services are unaffected, some outpatient clinic appointments are being rescheduled. All patients affected have been contacted directly with changes to their appointment dates.
If you have not been notified of any change to your appointment, please attend your appointment as planned. Please call the Trust’s contact centre on 0300 123 0808 if you have any questions or concerns.
The mental health crisis line remains available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the period of industrial action. If you are in mental health crisis, please call 111 and select the option for mental health to be connected to trained staff, who can provide timely and appropriate support and advice.
Thank you for your understanding.
