• Hospital consultants and junior doctors’ strike action this week (19-23 September)

    Hospital consultants will take part in strike action on Tuesday, 19 September and Wednesday, 20 September and junior doctors will strike from Wednesday, 20 September to Saturday, 23 September.

    The strike action will significantly impact services run by the Trust at Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke’s Hospital.

    We will be making some cancellations and affected patients who are due to attend an appointment and/or receive treatment at our hospitals over this period have been contacted.

    We would like to apologise for any inconvenience these rearrangements may cause.

    If you do not hear from us, your appointment/treatment will be going ahead as planned, so please attend as normal.

    Please only come to A&E if you have a life or limb-threatening emergencies as if you attend with a non-urgent or emergency condition you will be waiting significantly longer than usual.

    If you need medical help or advice or are unsure about whether you should go to hospital, visit NHS 111 online unless it is a life-threatening emergency when you should still call 999. GP services and pharmacies are also available for patients and can be accessed in the normal way.
