The British Medical Association (BMA), Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association (HCSA) and British Dental Association (BDA) have announced strike action, with Junior Doctors’ and Dental Core Trainees and Specialty Registrars taking industrial action to run continuously for 96 hours from 7am on Tuesday 11 March to Saturday 15 April.
During industrial action, we need to reduce the number of appointments we have planned to ensure we have safe levels of staffing.
We are contacting patients directly if this means that their appointment will need to be postponed.
We understand how disappointing and concerning this will be for those waiting for treatment and we are very sorry this is the case.
We will re-arrange these appointments as quickly as possible. If you do not hear from us please attend your appointment as planned.
