Strike action by resident doctors

The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced strike action by resident doctors from 7am Friday 14 November, until 7am on Wednesday 19 November.

Please ensure that when talking to patients or the public, they know that regardless of any action taking place, people who need care should continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and life-saving cases. 

People should visit 111 online or call 111 for help and advice but dial 999 if it is a serious life-threatening emergency.

There is information online on NHS preparations for industrial action, along with information for the public.
