Junior doctors and consultants are due to take part in a 72-hour strike from 7am on Monday 2 October to 7am on Thursday 5 October.
This is highly likely to have a significant impact on health services across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB).
The NHS is working to prioritise resources to protect emergency treatment, critical care, neonatal care, maternity, and trauma, and ensure priority for patients who have waited the longest for elective care and cancer surgery. The NHS will only reschedule appointments and procedures where necessary and will rebook immediately, where possible. Unfortunately, these strikes will affect planned and routine services.
Patients who have a scheduled appointment should attend as planned unless they hear from the NHS directly that the appointment has been changed.
