- 7am Thursday 5 July to 7am Friday 6 July

- Rescheduling appointments for surgery, treatments and outpatient clinics.
- Giving priority to emergency, critical care and maternity.
- Still providing some essential outpatient clinics such as cancer and dialysis treatments.
- Contacting all patients whose operations or clinic appointments are affected by the strike.

Please save the hospital emergency department for emergencies only.

If it’s not an emergency contact your GP, or go to an urgent care centre or call Healthline on 0800 611 116.
