Junior doctors nationally have industrial action planned for three more dates. This time they will be for 48 hours. Again they are not affecting emergency care.

They are Wednesday March 9 -  Friday March 11; Wednesday April 6 - Friday April 8; and Tuesday April  26 - Thursday April 28. All from 8 am to 8 am.

As before, our Trust will continue to plan ahead to ensure we have contingencies in place to limit the impact for our patients. As other Trust, we have previously cancelled some outpatient appointments and some non-urgent surgery but every effort is made to keep this to the last minute to keep disruption to a minimum.

Again we thank everyone in advance for their support at this difficult time for us all.
