Information for the public on industrial action

Published on 19/12/2022

Regardless of any strike action taking place, it is really important that patients who need urgent medical care continue to come forward as normal, especially in emergency and life-threatening cases – when someone is seriously ill or injured, or their life is at risk.

For more information, please visit the NHS England website.
