Strike action by resident doctors is due to continue over the weekend.

During the strikes, there may be fewer doctors working than usual, and they will need to prioritise life saving care. Less urgent cases may experience longer waits during strikes.

Please choose services appropriately during industrial action and help us ensure care is available to patients who need it most.

✅Use 111 online as the first port of call for health needs, and as ever only using 999 if it is a serious or life-threatening emergency.
✅ Make sure you have enough of your prescribed medications at home.
✅Ensure you have a fully stocked first aid kit.

Did you know 7 in 10 people living with diabetes are of working age? This World Diabetes Day we have encouraged our staff to think about how best to support their colleagues with diabetes.

As an NHS trust we are also dedicated to making sure patients with diabetes in our communities are well and supported in their healthcare journey. Our Diabetic Eye Screening Programme has recently made a video highlighting the importance of getting your eyes checked regularly if you have diabetes: https://youtu.be/DORzWkRIxJQ?si=7Gh5kPqxpr_E7ZNq

iPhone will automatically remove your access code if the 'Delete After Use' option is turned on.

To view messages in full and prevent your code from disappearing, please check your settings by following these steps:

1. Open Settings

Strike action by resident doctors is due to take place from 7am tomorrow (Friday 14 November) until 7am on Wednesday (19 November.)

During these strikes, all other NHS staff (including consultants and other specialist doctors) will still be working, and the focus will be on ensuring as many services as possible continue to operate safely.

If we have not contacted you, please attend your appointment as planned. We will contact you if your appointment needs to be rescheduled due to strike action.

Winter can be challenging for mental health. Take time to relax, practice mindfulness, and connect with loved ones.

Simple actions like talking to a friend or taking a few moments to meditate can make a significant difference.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
