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.

Maternity scans

We’re pleased to be able to share that from Monday (12 April) partners will be able to attend all maternity scans.

We’ve worked hard to make this possible while continuing to keep everyone safe, and have been able to do so by securing additional waiting space for partners (or one other adult if a woman does not have a partner, or they are unable to attend with her). They will be asked to wait outside the department until their turn, when they will be able to accompany their loved one to their appointment.

Children are not allowed into scan appointments.
