A full emergency service will continue at Frimley Health’s hospitals during the two days of industrial action proposed by junior doctors next week, but many planned operations and outpatient clinics will be rescheduled. Between 8am and 5pm next Tuesday and Wednesday (26, 27 April) the British Medical Association has called for the first national withdrawal of all labour by junior doctors in the history of the NHS. This will have a bigger impact on planned services than earlier actions when junior doctors continued to provide emergency cover. Please attend appointments as normal unless we contact you directly.
