NHS must resist doctors’ strike, its chief tells hospital leaders
ENGLAND, JUL 24 – NHS England warns of financial consequences for striking doctors and urges hospitals to keep routine operations running despite a total of 1.49 million appointments rescheduled since strikes began.
- Resident doctors in England, represented by the British Medical Association, will begin a five-day strike from 7am on Friday, July 25, affecting NHS services in Gloucestershire and beyond.
- The strike follows failed pay dispute talks with the government, with previous offers deemed insufficient by BMA leaders despite attempts at good-faith negotiations.
- NHS Gloucestershire plans substantial disruption until Wednesday, July 30, centralising A&E at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital while GP practices remain open and emergency care is prioritised.
- NHS trusts urge the public to use A&E only for serious emergencies, contact NHS 111 for urgent care advice, attend planned appointments unless contacted, and show patience with staff during this period.
- The strike may cause longer waits for less urgent care and service recovery could take time, while patient safety and critical treatments such as cancer and maternity care remain priorities.
