Resident doctor strike

From Wednesday 17 to Monday 22 December, resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) will be taking strike action. During this time, our services will be under increased pressure.

Getting the right care

Please help us make sure emergency care is available for those who need it most:

Only attend A&E in life-threatening emergencies.
For non-urgent issues, please contact your GP, your local pharmacy, or NHS 111 (online or by phone).

Appointments and planned care

If your appointment is affected, we will contact you directly.
If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.

Cardioversion

We use cardioversion to help restore a normal heart rhythm.

The anticoagulation clinic and cardioversion service will monitor you and when clinically ready, the cardiac nurse will arrange to meet you to discuss the procedure and agree an admission date.

How do you prepare for your appointment?

A day case procedure is where you come into hospital in the morning and go home the same afternoon or evening.

The cardiac nurse will discharge you home with a full explanation about the procedure and results. They will also arrange an outpatient appointment for you to see the heart specialist.
