Health bosses want ensure care is 'available to patients who need it' during the walkouts this month.
Health leaders have warned about the impact of the impending strikes
It will be followed by a strike from senior doctors and hospital consultants, from 7am on Thursday, July 20, until 7am on Saturday, July 22. "The best way to get urgent medical help is to visit 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for anything that feels urgent, or if you are unsure what to do. But, if it’s a life-threatening emergency, please do call 999 or come straight to your local emergency department."
“However, we do know that the strike will mean that our elective or planned services, so our operations and outpatient appointments, will be affected. “You can help us by making sure you use services efficiently and effectively, and only using emergency services when they are really required. If you can, try using 111 online as your first point of call, and only use 999 in an emergency.”
