Resident doctors at RNOH — previously known as junior doctors — are due to take part in a strike from 7am on Friday 25 July until 7am on Wednesday 30 July. We remain open, and emergency and urgent care will continue to be prioritised.

Please be assured we are working hard to ensure we minimise disruption to services.

✅ We’ll contact you if your appointment or procedure needs to be rescheduled.

✅ If you don’t hear from us, please attend as planned.

However, where appropriate, please use other non-hospital services for advice and treatment during this period of industrial action, such as:

  • NHS 111: www.111.nhs.uk or call 111
  • GP practices (they will continue to be open during the strike)
  • walk-in centres
  • pharmacies

If you have an outpatient appointment or a procedure with us, you will be contacted directly if this needs to be rescheduled. Please attend as normal if you don’t hear from us.
