Patient safety is our number one priority, so we will be adjusting our services and the way we staff them to ensure our quality of care is not compromised. 

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes and thank you for your understanding.

Here’s how you can help

There are a number of ways you can help us care for people who need it most. 

  • If you’re caring for vulnerable people, such as the elderly, children and people with long-term conditions, get in touch with your GP if you have concerns about accessing medical care
  • Remember there are other healthcare options available instead of calling 999. You can visit your pharmacist or GP, call or visit NHS 111.

We are talking to unions

We considered a number of options but, under the terms of the NHS pay award, there is no legal way we can make this payment. However, we are talking to the unions about alternative arrangements to address the injustice their members feel.

On behalf of staff and patients, we want the industrial disputes resolved as soon as possible.
