The British Medical Association (BMA) has confirmed further industrial action, in the form of strike action, will be undertaken by junior doctors at CUH for 72 hours between 07:00 Wednesday 14 June and 07:00 on Saturday 17 June.
Our key focus is on providing safe care for patients who need urgent and emergency services, and those receiving inpatient care in our hospitals.
If you have an appointment planned during this time
During industrial action, we need to reduce the number of appointments we have planned to ensure we have safe levels of staffing. We will contact patients directly if this means that their appointment will need to be postponed.
We know how disappointing and concerning this will be for those waiting for treatment and we are very sorry this is the case.
We will re-arrange these appointments as quickly as possible.
If you do not hear from us please attend your appointment as planned.
If you need medical care
If you need medical care or advice, please call the NHS 111 helpline, or visit NHS 111 Online (opens in a new tab).
Please contact NHS 111 if:
- You need medical help fast, but it's not a 999 emergency.
- You don't know who to call for medical help or you don't have a GP to call.
- You think you need to go to A&E or another NHS urgent care service; or.
- You require health information or reassurance about what to do next.
During strike action, we will prioritise resources to protect emergency treatment – including managing life and limb-threatening conditions, critical care, neonatal care and trauma.
We will keep this page updated with the latest information.
