Hospitals have been emptied out and will be reduced to essential services tomorrow as thousands of nurses and healthcare workers stop work. The industrial action will run from 7am Thursday for 24 hours.

• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise, people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.
