Strike Action: 15 & 16 January

Stephanie Gray from Nelson Marlborough Health

Our hospitals, along with all hospitals nationwide, are preparing for a strike by Resident Medical Officers (doctors in training) who are covered by the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association (NZRDA) collective employment agreement. The strike period is from 7am on Tuesday 15 January until 7am Thursday 17 January.
Patient safety is Nelson Marlborough Health’s top priority. We have contingency plans in place, and we will continue to operate essential services such as emergency departments, emergency surgery and maternity care throughout the strike period.
If you need healthcare:
1. contact your GP, pharmacy or call Healthline on 0800 611 116
2. visit the Medical and Injury Centre in Nelson and Urgent Care Centre in Blenheim
3. dial 111 or come to the hospital for emergencies
Please do not to delay seeking medical treatment if you need urgent medical assistance.
Patients having elective surgery or outpatient appointments that may be affected by the strike have been contacted directly or you can call 0800 733 372 to check the status of your appointment.
