More than 350 appointments, operations and procedures were cancelled in the county as a result of the most recent, unprecedented junior doctors' strikes.
At Shropshire's emergency hospitals, Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, and Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, both managed by Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust, hundreds of shifts were lost due to the strike. The biggest impact at the trust was felt on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, February 26, 27, and 28, where more than 100 workers were on strike each day.The strikes came amid the ongoing dispute between the Government and the BMA over demands for an increase in pay for junior doctors.
