Industrial action by Junior Doctors | News

The British Medical Association has announced that Junior Doctors in England, including those across the Partnership, will be going on strike from 7am on Wednesday 3 January to 7am on Tuesday 9 January 2024.

The safety of our service users is always our top priority and we have plans in place to ensure that there is minimal impact on the quality and the timeliness of the care you, your relative or someone you care for, receives.

If there are changes to an appointment you have on one of the strike days, we will be in touch with you beforehand to re-schedule. However, if you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as usual.

If you experience a mental health crisis during this time, please use our Crisis Lines and Mental Health Crisis Assessment Service – these services will be staffed during the industrial action. More information is available here: Help available in a mental health crisis
