NHS: Junior Doctors and Consultants Industrial Action August 2023

The NHS across Herefordshire and Worcestershire is set to be significantly impacted by strike action due to take place this month, with junior doctor strikes scheduled for the 11th-15th of August and consultants strike action from the 24th-25th of August.

NHS services in Herefordshire and Worcestershire are expecting significant disruption during this period.

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year online at 111.nhs.uk or by calling 111 for any urgent but not life-threatening medical needs. Trained advisers can direct people to the best possible care for their needs, including arranging an out-of-hours GP appointment or an appointment time to attend A&E or a Minor Injury Unit.

Please spread as much awareness of this upcoming strike action as possible, and help to ensure those who are most vulnerable or who may be most affected are aware of the situation this month.
