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.

Our annual plan

Our annual plan for 2025/26 sets out our priorities for the year.

It confirms our six strategic goals to set our direction and focus our efforts for the year ahead, which we’ll deliver as we continue to harness the benefits of partnership with other health and social care providers and through the acute provider collaborative which brings our Trust, Barts Health and Homerton Healthcare together.

The plan emphasises our continuing work to improve our performance, including cutting waiting times for patients for A&E, cancer treatment and hospital appointments, and using our financial resources efficiently, particularly reducing the use of agency staff.

We are also focused on continuing to improve the day-to-day experience of staff working within our Trust, improving diversity of our senior leadership, and addressing the inequalities our patients and staff.

And we look forward to delivering our electronic patient record, which will ensure all a patient’s information, from medical history to latest test results, will be held in one secure, digital record that will be accessible by any clinician at the seven hospitals run by ourselves and Barts Health.
