Doctors are taking strike action, Tuesday 7th - Monday 13th April

News - 1 April 2026

We’re writing to you because resident doctors have announced they will be on strike from Tuesday 7 - Monday 13 April. This means that our hospitals will be under a lot of pressure.

If you need help:
•    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 cannot contact your GP, go to NHS 111 online
•    For a mental health emergency go to NHS 111 online
•    And you can also visit your local pharmacy for expert advice and medicines.
