West Herts Hospitals.jpgThe British Medical Association has confirmed that industrial action by resident (junior) doctors will take place from 7am on Friday 25 July to 7am on Wednesday 30 July.

Please be assured we are working hard to minimise disruption to our services across our hospitals and are expecting almost all of our appointments, tests and operations to go ahead as planned. 

Please continue to attend appointments as normal unless you are contacted by us. 
People who need care should continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and life-saving cases. 

Where appropriate, please use other non-hospital services for advice and treatment during this time, such as: 

  • your local GP practice 
  • walk-in centres 
  • pharmacies 

If you are an inpatient, we will have consultant (specialist doctor) cover in place across all our sites for the duration of the strikes, along with cover provided by nursing staff and other healthcare professionals.
