THE NHS in mid and south Essex will be working hard to keep people safe during the planned strikes, while delivering the best care possible. The next planned industrial action is from junior doctors, with strikes planned from Thursday 13 July to Tuesday 18 July 2023.
Hospital Consultants will be striking from Thursday 20 July till Friday 21 July.
If you have an appointment, please continue to come forward for the care you need. Please don’t call to check if your appointment is going ahead. You will be contacted directly if your appointment needs to be rearranged.
No-one should put off seeking urgent or emergency care during the strikes and people with serious, life-threatening conditions will continue to be seen at our Emergency Departments.
However, please keep 999 and A&E clear for genuine life-threatening emergencies, and use NHS 111 online or by phone for other urgent care needs or if you’re unsure about whether you should go to hospital. If you are contacting 111, please give as much information as you can, as that will help you get the right support and advice.
