Health services during strike action - please help us to help everyone

News - 5 July 2023

Junior Doctors are striking from Thursday 13-Tuesday 18 July, and then Consultants are striking on Thursday 20 -Friday 21 July. This means that hospitals will be under a lot of pressure again – especially as this is a long period of strike action.

If you, or the people you support, need help from the NHS, please:

  • Only go to the Emergency Department (A&E) or call 999 for a life-threatening emergency or serious injury
  • If you are unwell, contact your GP
  • If you can’t contact your GP, go to NHS 111 online
  • For a mental health emergency go to NHS 111 online
  • People who don’t have internet access can call NHS 111 by dialling 111
  • And you can also visit your local pharmacy for expert advice and medicines.

There’s more information on the NHS South East London Integrated Care System's website
