Industrial Action update
Nursing Strike: Sun 30 April - Mon 1 May
If this industrial action takes place, we may deliver reduced elective services, but urgent and emergency services will continue.
Our highest priority is patient safety, and we can only deliver services with appropriate levels of staffing. Please be assured that any cancelled procedure or appointment will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
Please read the FAQ below to find out more information.
If this strike proceeds:
- It is necessary for us to reschedule some procedures. While we recognise this is disappointing, we will ensure cancelled appointments are rescheduled within 28 days of your original date to minimise delay.
- You will be contacted before your planned procedure date to inform you whether it will proceed. After this call, you will receive a letter in the post with a new procedure date on it.
- If you need support, please contact the Trust on 0121 685 4000.
If this strike proceeds:
- Some outpatient appointments may be rescheduled.
