Resident Doctor Industrial action from 7am on Friday 14th November until 7am on Wednesday 19 November 👇

Emergency care will be available as usual but we will have fewer doctors and so waiting times will be much longer than normal for less urgent conditions or injuries. Please help up by only using A&E if it is an emergency.

❗️PLEASE NOTE - that the Minor Injuries Unit at the Hallamshire Hospital will be closed throughout the period of action. If you need non urgent medical advice or if you are not sure what service you need, please call 111. 111 can also directly book appointments out of hours with a GP. Broad Lane Walk in Centre in the City Centre is also open as normal to provide urgent care without an appointment. https://www.sth.nhs.uk/sheffield-urgent-care/

Patients who have planned procedures or appointments should attend as planned unless contacted by us. If your appointment or procedure is postponed, we will rearrange it as quickly as we can.

Please help us during this time by:

• Please make sure you have all the medicines you need so you do not run out during the strike period.
• Please pick up relatives promptly when they are ready to be discharged from our wards, this helps us have the bed ready for the next patient quickly.
• Be kind to our staff, they are doing their very best to help you.

It's recommended we all keep ourselves topped up with Vitamin D - The English summer has been and gone so we need an extra boost ☀️

From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, so to keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.

Your pharmacist can provide treatment or some prescription medicine, if needed, for seven common conditions - without you seeing a GP.

Think pharmacy first and get seen by your local community pharmacy team.
