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.
