Many NHS doctors are on strike from Friday 14 November until Wednesday 19 November.

Please be aware that A&E will be extremely busy due to strike action as there may be fewer doctors working than usual.

Less urgent cases may experience longer waits, as the NHS will need to prioritise life-saving care, so only use 999 or go to A&E if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency.

Residents are also advised to attend any planned appointments, as you will be contacted if your appointment needs to be rescheduled
