BMA consultants are taking part in a two-day strike from Tuesday 19th September to Thursday 21st September. Junior doctors are taking part in a three-day strike from Wednesday 20th September to Saturday 23rd September. This is highly likely to have a significant impact on health services across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West.
Although the local hospitals will continue to provide urgent and emergency care, they have had to reschedule many routine and non-urgent appointments and procedures, day surgery and some elective surgery across all hospitals to ensure they keep patients who are currently in hospital safe.
All patients who are affected are being contacted directly by the NHS if their appointment needs to be rescheduled. If you have not been contacted, you should attend your appointment as planned.
The NHS is doing everything possible to prioritise patients with the highest clinical needs, including patients who have already waited a long time for their treatment and cancer and dialysis patients.
If needed you can contact NHS 111 who can provide advice and direct you to the best place for the care you need.
