What you should do if you need medical help amid huge NHS strikes starting TOMORROW
Patients are being urged to choose NHS services wisely as the next spate of industrial action is about to unfold across the health service. Junior doctors are taking action from 7am on Thursday 13 July to 7am on Tuesday 18 July.
“The impact of previous industrial action was significant. Junior doctors make up a large proportion of the clinical workforce, from newly qualified doctors to those who are ready to become consultants and GPs, and work in all areas of hospital services as well as primary care services. Consultants lead those services and have the expertise of years of training, studying and practice.
“Urgent and emergency care services will, as always, continue to be open during the industrial action period and people should call 999 or attend accident and emergency services in the event of a life or limb threatening emergency,” she added. “During the period of the industrial action, it is more important than ever that the public know to make NHS 111 online their first port of call for non-emergency health needs,” he said.
